Chapter 20. Building Dialog Boxes
Chapter 7 showed you how to display the built-in Excel dialog boxes
and how to use InputBox and the File dialogs to get information from the user. In this chapter, I show you how to create more complex data-entry forms, validate entries, and use the Visual Basic Forms Designer to create custom dialog boxes.
This chapter includes task-oriented reference information for Forms 2.0 user forms and controls: UserForm, CheckBox, ComboBox, CommandButton, Control, Font, Frame, Image, Label, ListBox, MultiPage, OptionButton, Page, RefEdit, ScrollBar, SpinButton, TabStrip, TextBox, ToggleButton. Those objects aren’t part of the Excel object model and so aren’t part of the Excel VBA Help. Instead, the help topics for those objects are found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\1033\FM20.CHM.
