I have a VBA procedure (in Excel 2007) where I aspire to set the ListFillRange property of a combobox styled as a list using an array.
I know this works if I right click the combobox and write "Sheet1!$F2:$F17" next to the "ListFillRange" property. I can also do this in code. However, I am interested in dynamically setting the value of this property by assigning it an array.
I know for sure the array works as I tested it; there is probably a syntax error here:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("cmbS").ListFillRange = ar
when I do this I get: "Type mismatch" error.
The result of this action should be that the component is populated with the array elements, from element(0) ... to the last element (n-1) of the array. Any pointers, thank you very much!
I also tried:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").cmbS.list = ar
and it says "permission denied"
Here are the combobox properties in case it helps:
After testing and trying, I found this works:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").cmbS.ListFillRange = ""
Dim i As Integer
For i = LBound(ar) To UBound(ar)
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").cmbS.AddItem (ar(i))
Next
However, I am interested in populating with all values at once for faster effect, not just adding element by element.
