I have an Excel userform with dynamically added checkboxes.
I add the checkboxes with code that looks like this:
Set chkBox = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Checkbox.1", "Checkbox" & i)
I want to remove all of these checkboxes.
Dim j As Integer
'Remove all dynamically updated checkboxes
For Each cont In Me.Controls
For j = 1 To NumControls
If cont.Name = "Checkbox" & j Then
Me.Controls.Remove ("Checkbox" & j)
End If
Next j
Next cont
I get the following error message:
A better approach may be to keep track of the controls you create (eg in a collection), and use that to remove them.
This way your code is not bound to the name format, and can be applied to other control types too.
Private cbxs As Collection
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set cbxs = New Collection
End Sub
' Remove all dynamicly added Controls
Private Sub btnRemove_Click()
Dim i As Long
Do While cbxs.Count > 0
Me.Controls.Remove cbxs.Item(1).Name
cbxs.Remove 1
Loop
End Sub
' Add some Controls, example for testing purposes
Private Sub btnAdd_Click()
Dim i As Long
Dim chkBox As Control
For i = 1 To 10
Set chkBox = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CheckBox.1", "SomeRandomName" & i)
chkBox.Top = 40 + i * 20
chkBox.Left = 20
cbxs.Add chkBox, chkBox.Name '- populate tracking collection
Next
' Demo that it works for other control types
For i = 1 To 10
Set chkBox = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.ListBox.1", "SomeOtherRandomName" & i)
chkBox.Top = 40 + i * 20
chkBox.Left = 60
cbxs.Add chkBox, chkBox.Name
Next
End Sub
