When I place an ActiveX TabStrip or a MultiPage onto a spreadsheet, and then try to put a ComboBox onto the TabStrip, the ComboBox will fall behind the TabStrip when I run my pointer across the TabStrip. I used the Arange order from the Draw toolbar to place ComboBox on top and the TabStrip behind, but to no avail. (I would love to use a User Form but lack the VBA know how).
View 5 RepliesI have a VBA game/simulation which puts the user in the role of a manager trying to comply with regulations. The game looks and works great, but I'm struggling with my opening worksheet. I want to display information about the game, how to play, background about the regulations, etc... All this info, however, is too much to show on a single worksheet. I'd like to use a tab metaphor with one or more textboxes and graphics on each tab.
The only idea I have is to use commandbuttons with a single textbox and change the text on the button click. This will limit my ability to use graphics (screen grabs).
So my questions are:Is there anyway to use a tabstrip control on a worksheet?
Alternatively, is there an HTML browser control that I could add to the worksheet and change the HTML page whenever the user clicks one of the command buttons?
Within the ComboBox properties, is there anyway to control after "enter" his hit, you move to the right instead of down (similar to the edit under Tools/Options)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe tabstrip and multipage object curiously resemble one another, in that they both have tabs, and hence naturally arouses one's curiosity and raises this question.
I searched this forum, and found one thread, from several years ago, where some senior members shrugged and said they had never used it. I found little in google, after an hour of searching, except for a Microsoft example which I completed and attached here.
I still have questions in my mind about exactly when and how one might use a multistrip, but this example helps me a lot, so I felt it might help others as well.
I am anxious to hear your tips and caveats about multistrips.
A multistrip appears to be a handy way document related options for the programmatic alteration of the functionality of some aspect of an application, such as color, or font, or perhaps output device.
I have created an excel worksheet that will provide budgeting and estimating tools for my project managers. All data used to be manual entry and took a good while to complete. I am trying to automate the process with VBA.
I created a UserForm called InfoVerify1. On that form I have TextBox 1 - 10. When the UF opens, the boxes display project information from my worksheet called "Basis of Estimate", also known as Sheet26.
The TextBox1 ControlSource is set to "E4". When I run the macro with Sheet26 active, the proper information fills in. However, when I am on the Start page or any other worksheet and I run the macro, it tries to fill in the text boxes with E4, etc, from the active sheet. I tried changing the ControlSource to "Sheet26,E4" or any combo thereof with only error messages.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to know how to make a spreadsheet automatically control the zoom of a worksheet depending on the size of the screen it is opened on. For example, if it is opened on a screen of a certain size then it will set the zoom to 80% so the worksheet will show only a certain section. I want my worksheets to look the same on even the larger screens and not show the unused rows and columns around the section I am wanting to highlight.

I have a spreadsheet with many cells that require a date. I have added calendar control 11.0 and running it with the code below. The problem is, that everytime the sheet is opened, the calendar gradually gets smaller and smaller each time the workbook is opened. I have tried resizing through formatting the object, but after opening the workbook several times, it's has shrunk down to unusable again.
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
ActiveCell.Value = CDbl(Calendar1.Value)
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
ActiveCell.Select
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("B161:B184,I161:I184,P161: P184,"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Calendar1.Left = Target.Left
Calendar1.Top = Target.Top + Target.Height
Calendar1.Visible = True
' select Today's date in the Calendar
Calendar1.Value = Date
ElseIf Calendar1.Visible Then Calendar1.Visible = False

how to get a list of the properties for form control shapes (not control toolbox shapes) that are placed on a worksheet (not on a userform). Eg., a button, checkbox, combobox, etc.
If it's possible, I'm interested in working with properties like "enabled", "caption", etc. that aren't listed on the "Format Control Properties" dialog.
I understand you can edit properties of a form control shape via VBA code (See example below), however, I can't seem to find anything within the object browser about them.
EXAMPLE
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Scroll Bar 2").ControlFormat
.Min = 10
.Max = 150
End With
I would like to know if it's possibale to use VB, to auto manage these levels
IE, 1 box asks for the part number 2nd asks you how many 3rd/4th boxes are "+", "-"
When + or - is pressed the part number will automatically add's/subtracts that part level. I had 10x abcde's I enter 2 in "How Many", then press "-" it will then adjust the level from 10 to 8
I am creating a main worksheet (Legend) in which information will be entered and then populate to other areas (worksheets) within the workbook. I would like to create a print macro - that will run and print all the worksheets that we have selected on the "legend" page. These worksheets would have been selected by ticking a check box.
My question is how to associate a check box to a worksheet? For example - the second worksheet is named " Schedule A" 3rd "Schedule B" and so on.
- The check boxes will be name schedule A, Schedule B and so on.
- I would like to associate (link) the checkbox Schedule A with the Worksheet of the same name. Then when this checkbox is selected, and the print macro runs it will print the worksheets that are selected.
I have a database in Sheet1, and need to make a drop-down list for each column title, so that it would filter out the necessary letters or words. E.g. I type "au" and see the words starting "au" in one single list (like aura, aubergine, etc..)

I have set up a calendar control on a userform and got it to pop up when selecting one of 3 cells on a worksheet. The various bits of code making this work are below.
This code is attached to the Userform.
VB:
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
With ActiveCell
.Value = Calendar1.Value
[Code]....
What I am struggling with is that I'd like to have the calendar that pops up in cell C18 (which is Date of Birth) default to starting on 1st January 1987 not todays date. Also, if there is a value in either of the 3 cells that use the calendar, then I'd like the calendar to display that date. If the cell is empty then todays date is fine for cells G3 and G26.

I'm seeking what I would need to replace Line1 with.
I have created a userform within VBA which has a TreeView Control and a Spreadsheet control on it.
I have populated the TreeView control with data and what I want to be able to do is to drag the nodes off the TreeView control to the spreadsheet control.
I can drag onto a normal worksheet but not onto the spreadsheet control (the no drop mouse pointer keeps showing).
How do I determine which control the user is currently modifying on a multipage form (either changing, enterying or exiting the specific control). when I use "userform1.activecontrol" i get "multipage1" as the control name but I need the actual control on the specific active multipage. (also the .TABINDEX is for the multipage regardless of the on-page control) I use a generic data-field change SUBroutine so need the control name (and the TABINDEX) to provide my SELECT CASE. (so every fieldname_CHANGE calls the same SUB [with no parameters])

I have 2 macros: 1 controlled by a checkbox activex (PA_03) and the other a combobox (PA_03_rows) in a worksheet. I display the results from PA_03, and the user than then increase or decrease the number by using the combobox. But when I change the value (PA_03_rows.value = x) it causes the macro to jump to the macro.
I don't think it did initially, but it does now. According to another post, I saw it shouldn't do it! Is there something I'm just not seeing here?

I am wondering how to "add ranges to the multipage control in order to make it a "viewer". I have found tutorials on how to print, enter info into the form and save it to the sheets using a button, but I can't find a tutorial on how to implement the control on how to make tabs show the ranges. Can someone point me in the right direction on a tutorial, or maybe if willing a small spreadsheet with a mulitpage control on it, showing how to add the ranges from different worksheets?
