    excel 2010 activex controls disappear in hidden rows

    The matter is not new, was searching on Internet but still cannot find the answer
    In Excel 2010 when you create an activex controls, place them in cells, hide rows, save the workbook, close it, open again then unhide the rows which contained controls, controls disappear.
    it seems to be a bug. Does anybody know if Microsoft is intending to fix it ?


    regards

    I can't replicate this happening, but ActiveX controls are known to be unreliable so try using Forms Controls

    try to create some combo boxes in rows, properties move and size with cells, hide the rows containing those boxes, save, close, re-open the file then unhide the rows.
    Activex controls worked without problem with Excel 2003, but not with 2010

    Re: excel 2010 activex controls disappear in hidden rows

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
    To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
    Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

    You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
    Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
    Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    Sorry for late reply, attached please find .xlsm file, just hide rows, save, close and re-open the file. After re-opening unhide rows. Comboboxes will disapper. In fact they exist on the sheet, but with height = 0
    The problem exists only in Excel 2010, not in 2003 nor 2007

    There is a hotfox available but you have to contact Microsoft for it. See this MSKB article.
