Locked, DropButtonStyle, ShowDropButtonWhen properties example
The following example demonstrates the different symbols that you can specify for a drop-down arrow in a ComboBox or TextBox.
In this example, the user chooses a drop-down arrow style from a ComboBox. This example also uses the Locked property.
To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:
- A ComboBox named ComboBox1.
- A Label named Label1.
- A TextBox named TextBox1 placed beneath Label1.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
ComboBox1.DropButtonStyle = ComboBox1.Value
TextBox1.DropButtonStyle = ComboBox1.Value
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ComboBox1.ColumnCount = 2
ComboBox1.BoundColumn = 2
ComboBox1.TextColumn = 1
ComboBox1.AddItem "Blank Button"
ComboBox1.List(0, 1) = 0
ComboBox1.AddItem "Down Arrow"
ComboBox1.List(1, 1) = 1
ComboBox1.AddItem "Ellipsis"
ComboBox1.List(2, 1) = 2
ComboBox1.AddItem "Underscore"
ComboBox1.List(3, 1) = 3
ComboBox1.Value = 0
TextBox1.Text = "TextBox1"
TextBox1.ShowDropButtonWhen = fmShowDropButtonWhenAlways
TextBox1.Locked = True
Label1.Caption = "TheDropButton also " _
& "applies to a TextBox."
Label1.AutoSize = True
Label1.WordWrap = False
End Sub
