Add controls to option group

[Georges Heinesch]

Hi.

I created an option group using the wizard. I included 3 option buttons.
An option group (in general) can be enabled or disabled completely
(includung option buttons and their respective labels) when enabling or
disabling the frame around the option group. This is quite handy, since
not every individual control inside the otion group has to be enabled or
disabled.

Now, I need to add 3 text boxes to the 3 option buttons. I would like to
be able to enable or disable those at the same time I enable or disable
the frame around the option group.

Is that possible?

TIA

Cut every textbox and Paste when you have selected the option group (the
outline). This will set their Parent property to the option group (that
is what you need).

Are you sure this works with textboxes and comboboxesß

I tested it the way you described, and indeed, it works for labels, but
not for textboxes and/or comboboxes.

Can you confirm that?

I am afraid you are right and I am wrong. Now there is nothing wrong
with being wrong, of course, but I thought I helped, and I didn't.

You have to use code to enable/disable those controls. Bummer.

Personally, what I've done in this case is to export the form using
Application.SaveAsText and then used NotePad to add in the controls I
needed. It's kind of a bizarre work around, but it works every time!

(While in there, I've almost always noticed a few other things that
needed fixing as well!)

Can you explain how "... using Application.SaveAsText ..." is done?

Thanks!
