Using UserForm Controls in a Worksheet 42
FIGURE 42.3
The Properties window lets you adjust the properties of a control.
Common properties
Each control has its own unique set of properties. However, many controls share properties. This section
describes some properties that are common to all or many controls, as set forth in Table 42.2.
Some ActiveX control properties are required (for example, the Name property). In other
words, you can’t leave the property empty. Excel will always tell you if a required property is
missing, by displaying an error message.
