I need create ActiveX Combobox dynamically and than fill data to it list.

I try to use this code:

VBA Code:
Public Sub LoadPartCombo(Manufacturer)
Dim PartList() As String
PartList = GetParts(Manufacturer)
Debug.Print "PartList-" & UBound(PartList) & "-items"
'-----------------------------
    Dim Combo As ComboBox
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim obj As OLEObject
    Set wks = ActiveSheet
    'Debug.Print wks.OLEObjects.Count
    For Each obj In wks.OLEObjects
        Debug.Print TypeName(obj)
        Debug.Print obj.progID
        Debug.Print obj.Name
        If obj.progID = "Forms.ComboBox.1" And obj.Name = "PartCombo" Then
            Debug.Print "Found1-" & obj.Name
            Set Combo = obj
            Debug.Print "Found2-" & Combo.Name
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
'----------------------------- 
Dim One As Variant
Dim OneArr() As String
For Each One In PartList
    If One <> "" Then
       Combo.AddItem OneArr(1)
       Debug.Print "Add-" & OneArr(1)
    End If
Next
Combo.AddItem "--new--"
Debug.Print "Finist-" & Combo.ListCount & "-items-loaded"
End Sub

But this reference don't working, line (Set Combo = obj) don't working, I see this log:

LoadPartCombo-start
PartList-23-items
OLEObject
Forms.ComboBox.1
PartCombo
Found1-PartCombo
LoadPartCombo-end

Debugger, of course, don't working too and I don't know how to solve this issue.
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Try...

VBA Code:
Set Combo = obj.Object

Hope this helps!
