Is there a way I can loop through all Checkboxes in a Frame on a Userform?

All of them are named individually, so not CheckBox1, 2 etc if that makes a difference.

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Code:
sub a
Dim ctrl As MSForms.Control

For Each ctrl In Me.[COLOR=#ff0000][B]Frame1[/B][/COLOR].Controls
    If TypeName(ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then
        MsgBox "This is checkbox: " & ctrl.Name
    End If
Next ctrl
end sub

VBA Geek,

Thanks - very helpful.....could you assist me in showing what I would add to check if any are selected?

Essentially what I now need to do is assess if there are non selected.

You can use the TypeOf method as well....

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim Ctrl As Control
    For Each Ctrl In Me.Frame1.Controls
        If TypeOf Ctrl Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
            MsgBox "Name=" & Ctrl.Name & vbCrLf & "Selected =" & Ctrl.Value
        End If
    Next
End Sub

And, this code will inform you the unselected CheckBoxes in Frame1 of the UserForm.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim Ctrl As Control
    For Each Ctrl In Me.Frame1.Controls
        If TypeOf Ctrl Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
            If Ctrl.Value = False Then
                MyMsg = MyMsg & vbCrLf & Ctrl.Name & " is not selected"
            End If
        End If
    Next
    If MyMsg = Empty Then
        MsgBox "All of them are selected"
    Else
        MsgBox MyMsg
    End If
End Sub

That might not work properly though. TypeOf would also include ToggleButtons and Optionbuttons since they also implement the Checkbox interface.

I didn't know that, thanks for this info.

So, using VBA Geek's TypeName method, my last post should be modified as;

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim Ctrl As Control
    For Each Ctrl In Me.Frame1.Controls
        If TypeName(Ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then
            If Ctrl.Value = False Then
                MyMsg = MyMsg & vbCrLf & Ctrl.Name & " is not selected"
            End If
        End If
    Next
    If MyMsg = Empty Then
        MsgBox "All of them are selected"
    Else
        MsgBox MyMsg
    End If
End Sub
