What is the Toolbox?

  • Article

This page is specific to the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Language Reference for Office 2010.

The Toolbox identifies the different controls that you can add to a form, Frame, or Page.

You can customize the Toolbox in many ways including the following:

  • Add pages to the Toolbox.

  • Move controls from one page to another.

  • Rename pages.

  • Add other controls, including ActiveX controls, to the Toolbox.

  • Copy customized controls from the form into the Toolbox.

  • For example, OK and Cancel buttons are special cases of a CommandButton. If you add OK and Cancel templates to the Toolbox, you can quickly add them to other forms.
