Naming Grouped Form Objects

[tx12345]

I have an easy question i think (hope). When designing a form that has a number of objects, all with unique names, to move them around on the form as a groyp and position them where needed, they can all be selected by draggung the mouse over them, and then you can go to the format menu and group them.

now, if all of these items are option controls (i.e. radio buttons and checkboxes) you can create a group name, whereupon you can 'conveniently' make one group disappear and another appear, etc.

*but* if there are names, combobxes, text boxes, list boxes, etc, the option to name the group disappears.

so, unfortunately because such a simple feature does not exist, i have to ask if there is a way to, after highlighting all the objects on the form template (or any number of them) one can give a name to that group, no matter what is included, and then be able to say:

group.x.visible = True or
group.x.visible = False


many thanks as always

Hi,

are you talking about forms on a userform or a sheet ?

anyway: you can loop through the objects to make them visible or not
if there is some logic in your layout this shouldn't be to difficult
you can f.i. loop through all controls in a certain range (if on a sheet) ...

kind regards,
Erik

If you want to group controls, place them within another control such as a frame or image.
