Well, I'm not sure if this is the right category for this question, but I wasn't sure exactly where it fit in...
I want to insert a control into my shape, "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Frame" to be exact. I can get it inserted with no problem, but when I bring that shape into a drawing, I am automatically in Design Mode. The icon does not "show" as if I am in design mode, but I can't click on any of my check boxes or text boxes in the control frame, so I must be in design mode. If I click on the icon twice it gets me out of design mode so i can use the control box.
Can I somehow set my shape so it will drop and NOT be in design mode? I think asking my end user to double click the design icon to use the shape may be asking too much. One word of warning, I know absolutely NOTHING about VBA or programming. :-[
TIA,
Michelle
Good question Michelle!
I too was disappointed to learn (many years ago) that--for some reason that I have long forgotten--VBA goes into Design Mode when you drop a control on the page.
Bottom line, it doesn't really work to include controls in shapes, which is a MAJOR BUMMER.
There may be some hacky work-arounds for this problem, but I'm not sure that they would be worth the trouble. If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know.
Hmm, That is a major bummer. I figured that would be a standard thing to have controls right in the shapes. Oh well. I was originally working on using a shape that looked and worked much like a control check box, I'll go back to that.
Thanks!
