ActiveObjects Turn back to me!

#excelvba #vba #excel

I was in the huge misunderstanding that ActiveSheet, ActiveCell objects are created normally by the recorded Marcos and so, in the dynamic programming/automation we should avoid using that because of its ACTIVE properties. I followed that for a long but today when I was working on creating a simple customized TreeView Tool for worksheet creating out of checkboxes, I came into the situation where I have to use Application. Caller property so I can determine dynamically what object has called the central module to apply further changes. We know that CheckBoxes are the Worksheet objects or we can say that the parent object of Checkbox control is the worksheet. I further noticed that, if I have to use the same TreeView tool across multiple sheets then my code should be worksheet independent. So to achieve that dynamically, I fall back to my own discarded thoughts which are to avoid ActiveObjects.

I have to use the ActiveSheet property to determine which object has called the module! Such uncertainty. But I learned a lot today.

Share your thoughts on using ActiveObjects as well.
