XL: Can't Use BottomRightCell or TopLeftCell with Edit Box

 Last reviewed: December 1, 1997
Article ID: Q113794
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0c
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
  • Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.0a

SUMMARY

In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, both the Object Browser and Visual Basic Help indicate that you can apply the TopLeftCell or the BottomRightCell properties to an edit box. This information is incorrect: edit boxes can exist only on dialog sheets. Because an edit box cannot be drawn on a worksheet, the edit box cannot have either the BottomRightCell or TopLeftCell properties.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the TopLeftCell property for drawing objects on a worksheet to return the cell that lies under the top-left corner of the object. Similarly, you can use the BottomRightCell property to return the cell at the bottom-right corner of the object.
