I asked a similar question Here and now I need to do the same thing again but this time using VBA in Excel 2010.
Essentially I have numerous text boxes with generic names (i.e. textbox1,textbox2 etc). How can I programically construct the object reference so that I can create a loop?
EDIT: It is a regular textbox on a worksheet. When I start a sub for this worksheet I can reference the textboxes with the following line:
TextBox1.LinkedCell = "B2"
This is what your after:
Dim oleObj As OLEObject
'Dim oleTxtBox As TextBox
For Each oleObj In Sheet1.OLEObjects
If oleObj.OLEType = xlOLEControl Then
If Mid(oleObj.progID, 1, 14) = "Forms.TextBox." Then
Set oleTxtBox = oleObj.Object
oleTxtBox.PasswordChar = "*"
End If
End If
Next
Just using PasswordChar
as an example field from the TextBox
object, but it wouldn't actually left me Dim
as a TextBox
