"True" will preselect the item, and so will any number different from zero. If you have an array or a range with True/False or numeric values, you can also set the item's Selected property = the value in your array/range. The example above would look like this, when the form opens: '".List(lCount)" returns an item's value, which 'so we loop from 0 to number of items minus 1. 'Being an array the list's first item has index 0, 'Now we loop through the list and divide every value 'With the counter lCount we add the numbers 'Selects the list style with small boxes. 'when we work on an object several times. 'To save time we use the With.End With construction, The following procedure fills an array with the numbers 1 to 100 and then populates the listbox - it is quite simple. When you use the AddItem method, you can also use an array as source, however that is unnecessary, because you can set the list = an array in one operation - not unlike the RowSource method.
'Now we loop through the range, and only dates are added to the list. Set rRange = Range(rRange, rRange.End(xlDown)) If Len(rRange.Offset(1, 0).Formula) > 0 Then 'Finds the next empty row and expands rRange Set rRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") If you define RowSource in the userform's Initialize procedure, it could look like this: It is important to know that RowSource must be of the data type String (text that is), and that it points to the active sheet if nothing else is specified. The list's RowSource can be written directly in the listbox' property window (press F4 if it isnt visible), or you can define the range in the userform's Initialize procedure. One of a listbox' properties is "RowSource", which is the address of a range in the spreadsheet, e.g. If the items are dates, it can be tricky to display them in the desired format - read more about this on Date format in a ComboBox or ListBox. To change the names and captions of the controls, right-click on VBA Userform and click on each control. It is good practice to change the names of controls.
Then you are ready.Ī listbox can be filled by using cells in the worksheet as source - the list's Rowsource - or by adding items one by one with the AddItem method. Captions are those that appear on your screen.
Click on the userform and press F7 to open the code window. If you want to play along as we proceed, now is a good time to open Excel and the VBA editor (ALT+F11) and insert a new Userform. Drag a ComboBox on the Userform from the Toolbox. Go To Developer Tab and then click Visual Basic from the Code or Press Alt+F11. The procedures are pretty much the same for ComboBoxes, so I'll skip comboboxes or cover them some other time. Please find more details about VBA ActiveX Combo Box Control and how we are adding it on the UserForm. To test the code, highlight it with the mouse, copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) into the userforms code.
It also shows how to preselect items on the list. This page shows examples on how to fill and handle listboxes on your own userforms. What the user does, determines what to do next.
They show a list of items or values, and then the user can pick one or more. Listboxes are often used as controls on Userforms. Listboxes on userforms with Excel VBA macros On this page:
