Excel-VBA: Getting the values from Form Controls

Question

Embedded in the worksheet sheet1 I have a Form Control combo box named combobox_test and it has selected value x

in addition t

Answer 1

As said before the Shape ComboBox has no Value property.

I use the DrawingObject property of the Shape object to get a CheckBox FormControl object. This CheckBox object can then be used like any other FormControl.

You should also be able to use the DrawinObject to get the ComboBox objcet form the Shape object.

If you want to get te selected text then you can try following code snipped:

Dim sh as Shape
Dim cB as ComboBox
For Each sh In ws.Shapes
    If sh.Type = msoFormControl Then
        If TypeOf sh.DrawingObject Is ComboBox Then
            Set cB = sh.DrawingObject
            ... 
            your code for getting the Data from ComboBox
            ...
        End If
    End If
Next
