Hi Guys.
I am in the middle of building a pastein sheet which will check for duplicates before the pasted in data is processed.
As part of this I placed a "Show" button next to each row pasted in. The show button will bring out the matches and display it below the pasted in area in a split window.

Up until this is working.
Now I also have to place either a radio button or a toggle button so the person can decide to upload the row or discard it at the final submission.

I noticed that toggle buttons are OLEObjects so I declared my "Togglebutton" as OleObject

Then used this code to add the toggle button: (It is inside of a loop. cl giving us the row.)

VBA Code:
'===============Button Placement========================
        'Adding the show button
        Set ShowButton = Sheet2.Buttons.Add(Top:=cl.Offset(0, 14).Top, Left:=cl.Offset(0, 14).Left, Height:=cl.Offset(0, 14).Height, Width:=cl.Offset(0, 14).Width)
            With ShowButton
                .Caption = "SHOW"
                .OnAction = "Showme"
            End With
        'Adding the toggle buttons
        Set Togglebutton = Sheet2.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ToggleButton.1", Link:=False, _
        DisplayAsIcon:=False, Top:=cl.Offset(0, 15).Top, Left:=cl.Offset(0, 15).Left, Height:=cl.Offset(0, 15).Height, Width:=cl.Offset(0, 15).Width)
        
        With Togglebutton
            [B].Caption = "TEST"[/B]
            .Font.Size = 10
            .Value = 0
        End With
        
'===============Button Placement End====================

It does place the button, but it craps out with object doesn't support this method. I believe at the Caption line.

My questions are:
Does toggle buttons using the textframe.text method?
I have seen some posts that claiming it is only a caption. That I can change based on the value.
Also if my toggle button will have the same .OnAction property?

Thanks

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
My questions are:
Does toggle buttons using the textframe.text method? NO
I have seen some posts that claiming it is only a caption. That I can change based on the value. Caption is changeable.
Also if my toggle button will have the same .OnAction property? NO Use either _Click better is _Change

Thanks

Thanks CSmith.
I can't get my head around why my Togglebutton OLEobject doesn't have a .caption property that I can set?
However when I enter design mode on the sheet, and check the toggle button property, there is a caption line.

I checked in the intellisense, no caption.
I tried to set Togglebutton.caption ->Error.

Try:
VBA Code:
        With Togglebutton
            .Object.Caption = "TEST"
            .Font.Size = 10
            .Value = 0
        End With
