Remarks

The Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ComboBox is different from a System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox. The Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ComboBox has additional members that enable it to be added to an Excel worksheet and that give it additional methods and properties.

Do not use the New constructor to create a new ComboBox. Use the AddComboBox method to add a new ComboBox to a worksheet.
