ComboBox ProperTies

[Dan Gesshel]

Hello.

I'm asking this question here because I'm not sure if there's a VBA
property that would control this or not.

Here's what I'm trying to do, and unfortunately I'm not that familiar
with the ComboBox Properties in VBA.

Essentially, I am using some ActiveX Comboboxes on a worksheet to
emulate the AutoFilter commands on another sheet.

I have been able to write all the proper procedures to do the filtering
on all the pages. (Not a problem.)

Where I run into trouble is when the Combobox is linked to a data list
where multiple values are the same. For example, a list may contain
values:

23
23
24
24
25
26
27

I only want unique values to show up in the Combobox (the same as they
would in Excel's regualr AutoFilter function

23
24
25
26
27

I have gone through the Properties on the ComboBox itself, but there's
nothing that limits this that I can find. Is there something in VBA
itself that will force the ComboBox to display only unique numbers from
the data list?

I hope I'm making sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Dan

You might consider not linking it to a data list, but instead read the data
list into an array, then process the array to rid it of the unwanted
duplicates. Use the newly processed array as the combobox items.

Dan,

Take a look at John Walkenbach's web site. Tip 47 is called "Filling a
ListBox With Unique Items"
