MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To simulate a Combination List-Edit control on a UserForm, use the following steps:

1. Close and save any open workbooks, and then create a new workbook.
2. On Sheet1, enter the following values:

   A1: January
   A2: February
   A3: March
   A4: April
   A5: May

3. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press OPTION+F11).
4. On the Insert menu, click UserForm.
5. Draw a TextBox control on the UserForm.
6. On the UserForm, draw a ListBox control below the Textbox control.
7. Double-click the UserForm to open the Code window for the UserForm.
8. In the Visual Basic module, type the following code:

         ' This subroutine populates the ListBox control when the UserForm
         ' Loads.
         Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
   
            ListBox1.List = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("a1:a5").Value
   
         End Sub
   
         ' This subroutine populates the TextBox control with the selected
         ' item in the ListBox control.
         Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
   
           TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.Value
   
         End Sub
   						

9. Run the UserForm

When you click an item in the ListBox control, the TextBox control changes to reflect the current selection.
