XL2000: Imported Toolbox Page Loses Caption and Tip Text (211986)

MORE INFORMATION

The Toolbox contains all the standard Visual Basic for Applications controls and any ActiveX controls and objects (that can be inserted) that you added to the project. By default, the Toolbox has a single page called Controls, but you can customize the Toolbox by adding one or more other pages. You can either manually create a page for the Toolbox or import a page that you export from another project.

Manually Creating a Page in the Toolbox

To manually create a new page in the Toolbox, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the tab for any page in the Toolbox.
2. Click New Page on the shortcut menu.

NOTE: These steps add a page to the Toolbox. The tab of this page displays the caption New Page. This page has the Select Objects control on it.

Exporting a Page from the Toolbox

To export a page from the Toolbox, follow these steps:

1. In the Toolbox, activate the page that you want to export.
2. Right-click the tab for the page.
3. Click Export Page on the shortcut menu.
4. In the Export Page dialog box, type a name for the file in the File name box. Then click Save.

These steps save a .pag file in the directory that you specify in Step 4.

Importing a Page from the Toolbox

To import a page into the Toolbox, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the tab for any page in the Toolbox.
2. Click Import Page on the shortcut menu.
3. In the Import Page dialog box, locate and select the .pag file you want to import.
4. Click Open.

These steps add a new page to the Toolbox. The tab of this page displays the caption New Page. The page has all the controls that were in the page when you exported it. However, the page does not have the same caption and does not have any tip text.
