Using controls on worksheets

Overview of the available controls

The table below shows which controls there are and describes each one shortly.

Pic. Control name Control use and remarks
Label Label Add a label next to other controls.
Groepsvak Frame  Use this control to group other controls. OptionButtons placed within a frame work together.
Opdrachtknop Button (CommandButton) Start a macro
Selectievakje CheckBox Set an option, Select multiple options from a list of options.
Keuzerondje OptionButton Select one option from a (short) list.
Keuzelijst ListBox Select an option from a list. Multiple options are visible at the same time.
Keuzelijst met invoervak ComboBox Select an option from a list, only the selected option is visible.
Schuifbalk ScrollBar Quickly change numeric values.
Kringveld Spinner Change values step-by-step easily.
Tekstvak TextBox Enter a text.
Wisselknop ToggleButton Toggle status. This control is not recommended, I advise to use either a checkbox or a set of two OptionButtons.
