911! How do I get a reference to a radio button (Groupbox) object in excel spreadsheet macro?
Hi all,
OK I am desperate now! I am an OK Java and ASP developer, but in this project I am using JNI-COM bridge to MS Excel COM object excel9.olb I think. Anyway, our client wants to use thei exisisting desktop excel spreadsheet app w/ macros with our java web app. I have a GroupBox ("GroupBox14") on a Worksheet (Worksheet"AppData") which seems to be bound to the value of a range on another worksheet i.e Worksheet("Options").Range
Are you with me so far? OK, I am having a hard time setting the value of the radio buttons via setting the value in A1B1. I want to get a reference to the GroupBox14 object and do soemthing like:
Worksheet("AppData").Group
But I can't figure out the proper syntax within code editor or help menu. I only have VB5 IDE installed, maybe I need VB6? I searched MS site and Google but cant find syntax as Excel has some ambiguous stuff.
How the heck can I do this? I will give MAX points for any help! Thanks!

You might be better off testing the values of the radio buttons within the group themselves. Seems dumb, but I ran into the same problem that you did. There does not seem to be a property on the shape itself to determine what the value was.
If Worksheet("AppData").Optio
lcValue = "Small"
End If
If Worksheet("AppData").Optio
lcValue = "Medium"
End If
If Worksheet("AppData").Optio
lcValue = "Large"
End If
Leave this question open. Perhaps, someone else will have a better suggestion.
Bye. -e2
