Each and Every VBA controls has their own by default properties. Like Name of the Control, height, width, Caption, color, background, font color etc. In Excel other than All these VBA controls like Command Button, Radio Button, Textbox etc. Worksheets also has its own properties.
 
So let’s see how we can see and change the properties of a control added in your excel Sheet.

Step 1. In below Excel Sheet we have 2 controls, 1 Command Button and One Combobox

Command Button and Combobox



Press Right Click on the Control for which you want see or change the Properties of that Control.

Step 3. Property Window is visible now. On top you can see all the Controls added to your Sheet along with the Sheet Name. By default that control will be selected on which you had right clicked and selected the “Properties”. From here you can select any of the Control for which you want to view the Property.

Step 4. For Example: In the above Picture you can see Property of the CommandButton1 is displayed.

On Top you can see there is a Property called “Name”. This is the Name of that Control. This should always be unique in the Excel Workbook as each and Every Control is uniquely identified by this name.
When you add a new Control is added to the Sheet, by default a unique name is given to that control like RadioButton1, RadioButton2 etc.

It is always a good habit to change the name of your Controls based on it’s functionality. So that when you have lot’s of controls then it’s easy to remember the control names while writing code.
