OFF98: Cannot Customize Toolbox in the Visual Basic Editor (181197)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181197 SYMPTOMS
In the programs listed at the beginning of this article, it is not possible
to customize the Toolbox in the Visual Basic Editor.
RESOLUTION
You can only use the following controls, which are included in the Toolbox
by default:
Label CommandButton
TextBox TabStrip
ComboBox MultiPage
ListBox ScrollBar
CheckBox SpinButton
OptionButton Image
ToggleButton RefEdit
Frame
STATUS
This behavior is by design of the Visual Basic Editor in the programs
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Toolbox to insert controls into a custom UserForm. The
Toolbox appears automatically whenever you create a new UserForm; you can
also display the Toolbox by clicking Toolbox on the View menu.
In the programs included in Microsoft Office 97 for Windows, you can
customize the Toolbox by right-clicking inside the Toolbox. Using this
method, you can add additional controls, delete existing controls, and
create, import, and export "pages" of controls that are grouped by
function, name, and so on.
Because ActiveX controls (OCXs) are not supported on the Macintosh, these
features are not available in the programs included in Microsoft Office 98
Macintosh Edition. You can only use the controls that are included with the
programs.
