The following code example adds a TrackBar control to the top of the worksheet, and then sets the number of positions between Ticks on the TrackBar. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.

Private Sub ExcelAddTrackBar()
    Dim TrackBar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
        Controls.TrackBar = Me.Controls.AddTrackBar( _
        0, 0, 75, 31.5, "TrackBar1")

    TrackBar1.TickFrequency = 2

End Sub

private void ExcelAddTrackBar()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.TrackBar
         trackBar1 = this.Controls.AddTrackBar(
         0, 0, 75, 31.5, "trackBar1");
