Is there a way to control the vertical size of a textbox, so that we could type in a List of Instructions to our operator, and the textbox would resize depending on the numbers of instructions in the box. Also the items in the cells beneath the textbox would need to move down, to allow for the resized textbox.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to Automatically fit the text to the size of the TextBox frame using:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame2
strTxt = .TextRange
.DeleteText
.WordWrap = msoTrue
.AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape
.TextRange = strTxt
End With
It appears ".AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape" only considers the width (I think) as the text is downsized but yet the text still extends beyond the the bottom of the frame. And never gets set to less than 11 point. Even when there's not enough text to reach the bottom of the frame the text is still set to 11pt leaving the frame half empty. Need to have text big as possible.
How to keep text in its entirety within the frame of the shape?
The quantity of text varies widely and the frame size cannot change. I've tried using Len() and dividing by a certain number and then based on that answer set the size with:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Normal"
.Size = NoteFontSize
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
But this technique doesn't seem reliable as the number to divide the Len() by seems to depend on how "wraps" have occured.
We can center horizontally with TextAlign (Left, right or center). Can we center text in a textbox on a userform vertically? I am working with multiple fonts, when a user selects a font I attempt to format a textbox as a display to show what is being created (Best WYSIWYG as I can). I have this particular font that is just ugly but is required. My textbox is set for a 12 point font but the displayed characters partially appear below the lower portion of the textbox. Think of cutting off about 1/3 of the bottom of all text in the textbox.
In my textbox it seems like the text could be moved up (some type of top margin?). All other fonts appear to display in the textbox vertically central, so I believe its the particular font selected causing the as displayed anomaly.
For what reason would a table not extend vertically on it's own when an entry is made in the next row directly beneath it? On all of my sheets I could swear the table will automatically extend vertically, but on one workbook that has 10 duplicated and then modified sheets with tables (I mention that for it might have been something from the original that was copied that is the problem), the table easily expands horizontally when a value is placed in a column next in line, but not the same for the next row!

I am wondering within the Excel interface, is it possible to auto-fit the size of a comment box to its content?
I have searched the internet and found that a macro as follows could do the job:
Sub FitComments()
Dim c As Comment
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Comments
c.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
Next c
End Sub
However, this Macro applies to and resize all of the the comment boxes in the active sheet.
I would like to just auto-fit the comment box only to the selected cell, or even better, to multiple selected cells.
I am trying to auto size cells depending on the lenght of the data in them. I have added some code in the work book on the attached file, this works on cell that i maunally add data to any where on the active page (template) but the cells that are auto updated with currencey data dont expand?
If you double click column H a list appears select a test and this auto populates the charges accociated with it
Is there a way to do this as it just fills with #### ???
The code in this workbook is below
[code]
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, _
ByVal Target As Range)
Dim actCol, curCol
[Code]....
When a number is entered in cell S3, it triggers formulas throughout the worksheet to populate the it with information from another sheet. If the length of the text in B6 is greater than 80, the font size for B6 only should be 8; if the length of the text in B6 is less than or equal to 80, the font size for B6 should be 10. Regardless of the length of the text in B6, the font size for the rest of the sheet should not be changed.
I tried the following
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address "$B$6" And Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim cnt As Long
cnt = Len(Cells(6, 2).Value)
If cnt > 80 Then Cells(6, 2).Font.Size = 8
ElseIf cnt < 80 Then
Cells(6, 2).Font.Size = 10
End If
End Sub
I have some workbooks that have some serials in A row and i need to seperate them depending on how many digits they have,
For example some have 13 digits,and some 8.I just want to seperate them into different rows.
Here is a sample

I have a set of data all in clumn A - I want to sort into into rows - "Name", "Manage" or "Send Message", "Job title/Company" and "Country", but some are missing "Country" (therefore, some entries have 3 rows and other have 4.
The differentiator is that every name is repeated within the cell, whereas no other row is repeated. Any macro to get all these into 4 columns?

I have a template I have been asked to amend and I know I need to use Conditional Formatting I just can't crack the formula I need to use. Cell A2 will have either "CD" or "CW" or "IN" input into it
When user inputs either "CD" or "CW" into cell A2, I want cell G2 to have "Margin Movement" automatically displayed. When user inputs "IN" into cell A2, I want cell F2 to have "MV" automatically displayed, and I want cell G2 to be coloured in bright red fill. Then user is to go to cell G2 and input some text as a description, and I want the red fill to disappear once they have input something in there.
I thought I had it licked using IF statements for the "Margin Movement" and the "MV" cells, but I can't get the conditional formatting to work - I assume this is because the cells aren't technically "blank", as they have IF statements in them.

I am using Excel 2003 on Windows XP, and I have created a form using several TextBox controls on Worksheets (not userforms). When I click on a textbox that has some text in it, the size of the text grows. Clicking away from it, and then clicking on it again causes the text to grow further. Repeating these actions ultimately causes the text to be so large that the contents are illegible. There is no VBA code manipulating the font in the controls, they are only set initially through the settings in their properties (all textboxes use the same font). The problem occurs on multi-line as well as single-line textboxes. In debug mode, I can see that the font.size has not changed from the initial setting of 9, so there is no manipulation of the settings. It looks like the control is being zoomed, as the size of the vertical scrollbar grows along with the text. Closing the file and reopening it doesn't resolve the problem. The textbox retains the size that it has grown to. This problem seems to happen on some environments and not others, and I have not been able to determine the cause or factors that contribute to this phenomenon.

example:
"textbox.setfocus" sets the focus onto the textbox without highlighting its content
what i need is:

I want to use a Login screen for a little "request-program" I made. Logging in works and when I log in as an administrator, an extra window pops up where I can add and remove new users (with pass). Users (column A) and passwords (column B) are located in a 'logins'-tab in my worksheet. Adding a new username works fine, but I don't seem to get the password next to the username. When adding a new name, the code searches for a blank cell in column A, adds the name and then sort the rows (so username and password still correspond). Usernames are filled out in a combobox (so you can select one to delete) and passwords in a textbox.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on a code which works, however, its is not working entirely as i intended. In this example, the body of the email should contain content from textbox.
I have 3 text boxes, not all are expected to be filled out. So if only textbox1 is filled out, the body should only include information derived from textbox1.
Whats happening now is that even if textboxes 2 and 3 arent filled out, the body of email produces blank formulas from textboxes 2 and 3. So how do i fix this code so that if I enter data into textbox1 only, the body of email will not include empty formulas? Ive also attached a copy of the Produced email file. Code in question is in red font

Attached is my sample data.
In sheet "support data" I have two columns.
One column is a client reference and the one next to it is a client name.
On my form the combo box is populated with the client references.
When i select a reference in the combo box I would like to populate textbox1 with the corresponding client name from "support data"
(as an advanced feature it would be good if the textbox1 kept changing as the mouse was hovering over the list of client references in the combobox)
We are using an excel file, which doesn't contain more then 1MB of data and have few "count and sum" formulae. but size of file keeps fluctuating from 1MB to 500MB. some time the size of file would be 1MB and once you will refresh the window file size will go to 480MB or some random number.
because of this excel file is quite slow and very difficult to work.
I use this ok code to increase the font in the selected cell:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim TargetRange As Range
Dim isect
Set TargetRange = Range("C:D")
Set isect = Intersect(Target, TargetRange)
If Not isect Is Nothing Then
Columns("C:D").Font.Size = 11
Target.Font.Size = 15
Exit Sub
End If
Columns("C:D").Font.Size = 11
End Sub
The problem is when i press ctrl+c to copy a cell content, so once i move the curser to the distenation cell then the copying mode in selected cell disappeared.
It is because when the event is trigered then the copying mode stops. The question is : how to let the copying mode works even when the event is trigered ?
