    You can also specify the control properties. Right click on the Control and then click Format control. If you want to specify the control properties, do the following :
    1. In the Input range box, enter a cell reference having a range that contains the values that you want to display in the drop-down list of the combo box.
    2. And in the Cell link box, enter the cell reference containing the selection in the drop-down list of the combo box.

    You can enter the number of lines to display in the drop-down list of the combo box in the In the Drop-down lines box. The following are the values associated with the drop-down list of the combo box :
    • 0, it is ignored totally and treated as 1.
    • If the number is less than the number of items in the range specified in the Input range box, then a scroll bar is displayed.
    • If the number is equal to or greater than the number of items in the range specified in the Input range box, then no scroll bar is displayed.

    You can use the property AutoLoad (Excel) whenever you want to check whether the control is loaded when the workbook is opened. This property will be ignored for ActiveX controls. The property Locked (Form) is used to check whether the control can be edited. The property Bold, Italic, Size, StrikeThrough, Underline, Weight (Form) is used for checking the Font attributes. And the property AutoSize (Form) will help you to check the size of the control automatically adjusts to display all the contents.
