RefEdit (ref)

Ref Edit - This control allows the user to select a range of cells in Excel.


Additional Control / Reference

Name - RefEdit.Ctrl


There are a few things to keep in mind when you are using this control


The RefEdit control returns a text string that represents a range address
You can convert this string to a range object using the following statement:

Set objRange = Range(RefEdit.Text) 

It is a good idea to initialise this control to display the current selection

RefEdit.Text = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address 

Do not always assume that it will always return a valid range address.
The user can also type directly into this control so you need to make sure the value entered is valid.
You cannot assume the selection made is on the same worksheet as the user may select worksheet tabs.
If a different sheet is selected the range is preceded by the name of the sheet


If you only need a single cell you can obtain the top left cell from the range

objCell = Range(RefEdit.Text).Range("A1") 

You should always put this control directly onto a userform, do not place it inside any other controls (for example frames)
Never make a userform modeless if it contains a RefEdit control.

Alternative

Use a regular textbox instead called "txtRefEdit".

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
    Me.txtRefEdit.DropButtonStyle = fmDropButtonStyleReduce
    Me.txtRefEdit.ShowDropButtonWhen = fmShowDropButtonWhenAlways
End Sub

Private Sub txtRefedit_DropButtonClick()
    Dim var As Variant
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim sFullAddress As String
    Dim sAddress As String
    Me.Hide
    On Error Resume Next
    var = Application.InputBox("Select the range containing your data", "Label Range", _
                               Me.txtRefEdit.Text, Me.Left + 2, Me.Top - 86, , , 0)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If TypeName(var) = "String" Then
        CheckAddress CStr(var)
    End If
    Me.Show
End Sub
