hello GURUs.

alternative will be awesome, I'm not expert but maybe it's compatibility issues, so I can't make it work, but what do you think ?

Hello netanel99,

When an ActiveX control is placed on a worksheet, Excel draws a shape similar to the ActiveX control as a place holder. When the shape is clicked it then links to the ActiveX control which then redraws itself in the same location as the shape. As you can see the rendering does not work 100%. I have added an ActiveX Frame to the worksheet which itself is window. This allows the ActiveX Text Box to be displayed off the worksheet and preventing the distortion.

Hi. Thanks for helping . I've asked a lot of people help with it, and found out it's a tough question. It still won't showed properly (win 7 64bit, office13 64bit). but thanks for trying creative solution here, eager to see if there's any new developments or attempts.
