UserControl Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

UserControl Property

       

True if the application is visible or if it was created or started by the user. False if you created or started the application programmatically by using the CreateObject or GetObject functions, and the application is hidden. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks

When the UserControl property is False for an object, that object is released when the last programmatic reference to the object is released. If this property is False, Microsoft Excel quits when the last object in the session is released.

Example

This example displays the status of the UserControl property.

If Application.UserControl Then
    MsgBox "This workbook was created by the user"
Else
    MsgBox "This workbook was created programmatically"
End If
