ActiveX Control labels and text

[bscdave]

Hi All,

I am doing a big project that uses loads of ActiveX controls - text boxes, check boxes, buttons, labels etc. In all of these, the captions or text values as displayed in Excel appear poor. The letters have jagged edges, unlike the cleartype characters found elsewhere in Windows. I did notice that if, for example, a textbox is resized so it is not high enough for a given font size, the text becomes really ugly, but even when sized properly, it just looks a bit pixellated. Is there any way I can improve this?

Thanks
Dave

If you are using many ActiveX controls laid out on a worksheet, you may want to reconsider using a Userform instead. Userforms always look better.
