"Control Toolbar" and "Forms" in Excel

Brian

In MS Excel , Under "View" ====> "Toolbars", what's the difference
between "Control Toolbar" and "Forms" ?
It seems they are very similar .

Thanks.

The forms toolbar is simplest, and is probably best integrated into Excel.

The control toolbox is harder to work with, but offers more flexibility
(such as background colour of controls).

Another disadvantage of the Forms controls, no textbox. Either use a drawing
bar textbox, or a controls toolbox.

Use the one you are comfortable with. Personally, I don't like controls on a
worksheet, I prefer trapping events, or adding toolbar buttons.
