Using Controls

Controls can be buttons, list boxes, check boxes, option buttons, and more. They are part of the integrated dialog boxes in Excel. If you use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), you can work with them in user-defined dialog boxes.

Excel uses controls in worksheets. For example, the AutoFilter uses list boxes for filter criteria.
