Add a Simple Button

To see how the Button control is still useful, follow these steps to extend the Stock History sample:

  1. Create a new, blank worksheet.

  2. Click the Toggle Grid button to turn the worksheet gridlines off.

  3. Click the Button control that you added to the Control Toolbox in the previous section and click and drag on the worksheet to draw the button control. Excel displays the Assign Macro dialog box (Figure 20-17).

  4. Select StockHistoryDialog2 and click OK.

  5. Type Get History in the button caption and then click the worksheet to deselect the button.

  6. Click the Get History button to run the sample.

Use the Button control to run a macro

The Button control offers fewer properties than the CommandButton, and they are accessed differently as well. To change the macro assigned to the button, edit its caption, or change any other setting, right-click the button and choose the property to change from the context menu.
