I have frame on a userform with command buttons. Is it possible to loop thru and capture the command button captions in a textbox. I'm trying to put together keyboard on a userform, so the user can populate a textbox with letters or phrases.
View 6 RepliesI want to access the Properties of a number of controls in a running form, and these controls may or may not be contained in a Frame or a MultiPage.
In particular I want the Top and Left for these controls, which means I have to first find out if the control is contained in a Frame or MultiPage so I can get the reference for Top and Left. I'm ok with doing this for controls inside a Frame, but the MultiPage is eluding me. I get an error when I try to access these controls and it looks like they are actually owned by the individual Pages of the MultiPage.
how do I find out if a given control is contained in a given MultiPage?
Validate UserForm MultiPage and Frame Controls
I have a userform which has a number of multipage controls nested inside each. So, the parent is Multipage1 with 2 pages. Page 1 of Multipage1 has a second multipage control (Multipage2 which has 4 pages). In Multipage2, page1 there is a 3rd Multipage control (Multipage3 which has 2 pages). In Multipage2, page 2 there is another multipage control (Multipage4 which has 3 pages)...and so on! I know this sounds complicated, but I am trying to get the caption of the selected multipage.
There are commandbuttons in all of the pages, which when clicked need to return the caption name of the multipage where they sit.
I have started the following code, but suspect there must be a better solution:
VB:
With Sales
If .MultiPage1.Value = 0 Then
Hardware_Purchases_Input.TextBox6.Value = .MultiPage1.SelectedItem.Caption & " - " & .MultiPage2.SelectedItem.Caption & " - " & .MultiPage3.SelectedItem.Caption
End If
End With
For Each ctl in Frame1.Controls
'Do whatever
Next ctl
I also know you can limit the controls you diddle by doing:
For Each ctl in Frame1.Controls
If TypeName(ctl) = "TextBox" Then
'Do whatever
End If
Next ctl
But this gets absurd when it gets to the point I want it:
For Each ctl in Page1.Controls
If TypeName(ctl) = "Frame" Then
For Each ctl2 in ctl.Controls
If TypeName(ctl2) = "OptionButton" Then
' Do whatever
End If
Next ctl2
End If
Next ctl
Is there any way to simplify this? Can I define ctl as frame, for instance, and then it will only look for every frame object in Page1? Or is there some other trick I'm missing? Or am I just making userforms with too many wrappers?
In Excel 2000 there seems to be a problem with setting the focus in a UserForm TextBox if the SetFocus method is applied in the same submodule as the UserForm.Show method. Microsoft's circumvention for this is to put the SetFocus command in the form's Activate event submodule.
This seems to work OK except when the TextBox you are applying the SetFocus to is the first control inside a frame. It works if the TextBox is not the first control, and it can be circumvented by first setting the focus on a subsequent control then switching the focus to the intended control.
However, the circumvention is not that useful if there is only one TextBox control in a frame or, as in my current project, if you try to create a generic piece of code to validate controls from multiple forms and set the focus from within the generic code.
Does anyone know of a way over overcoming this problem and being able to directly set the focus to the first TextBox inside a frame?
I have a form that is dynamically created at runtime. I have assigned the controls to a frame in VBA and also attached a horizontal scrollbar manually to that frame.
How can I control the scrollbar in VBA to appear, when columns of controls added to the frame exceeds 10. If not I want the scrollbar to be invisible?

This is Ridicules. The find function in vba fail to find three or four letter words like "CEO", "EATS", "CFO" ect. It gives me an error "Method ' Range' of object '_Global' failed. Run-Time Error 1004". But it works fine on five letter words or more like "Buddy". As long the caption is 5 letter words and above it works.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to scroll down in a UserForm Frame with a VBA Code in excel. My frame in the userform has a scroll height of 600 and a lot of option buttons. Based on a selection in a ComboBox(using If statement), I'd like to scroll down to a certain amount in the Frame.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of creating a module to validate a MulitPage UserForm that is composed of, among other controls, multiple frames, each containing a TextBox and two OptionButtons. I need to identify those frames where the TextBox value is not null and neither of the OptionButtons have been selected. The module will pass as variables the TextBox value, OptionButton captions and Frame caption to another module that will create a UserForm with the invalid Frame/TextBox/OptionButtons sets for the user to correct.
The interim code listed below runs as a command button on a test UserForm. The MsgBox displays only the first of the OptionButton’s caption as Opt1 and Opt2. Can anyone tell me why and where I went awry?
Public WithEvents As MSforms.TextBox, Opt1 As String, Opt2 As String, vtxt As Long, vFrame As String, vTag As String
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim pPage As Page, cCont As Control, vCont As MSforms.Control
'Dim Opt1 As String, Opt2 As String, vtxt As Long, vFrame As String, vTag As String
Is there a more elegant way of accomplishing this? (Control Tags are already spoken for.)
I have a Userform which has a series of Frames that contain Option Buttons. What I would like to do is check that an option button in each of the frames has been selected. If there are any missing then I need to inform the user - I would like all frames to be checked at the same time on the click of a button.

Background: I currently have an some VBA code that will kick off a series of calculations on a remote server (7 calcs). I am showing a modeless form, to allow the user to continue to work in Excel while the external calculation is taking place. The code checks every few seconds (using .OnTime) to check the status of the calcs, and as one finishes, it starts the next calc, and updates the form (ie - "Running Calc #3 of 7", etc).
'Do calc
'Finish calc
frmProgress.labMessage.Caption = "Running Calculation: 'Revenue'"
'Do another calc
'Finish another calc
frmProgress.labMessage.Caption = "Running Calculation: 'Labor'"
'etc...
Problem: when I change the label on the form, it gives the form focus. So, if the user is in the middle of doing something, they are suddenly stopped, and have to click back on the spreadsheet to continue.
Questions: Is there a way to update content (label) on a form, without that form getting focus? If not, is there another way to provide updated feedback without disrupting what the user is doing? My fallback is to simply not update the form with progress reports, but since the calcs can take 5min or so, it would be good if they knew things were progressing.
I present a form (a calendar) twice in my routine to the user but I want to change the Caption of the Label on each pass?
e.g.
The first time it's displayed: 'Please select a start date' (calendar closes & goes off and does stuff)
... and on the 2nd display: 'Please select an end date'.
Is it possible to load an image into a label and have the caption for the label be visible too? I've only been successful having one or the other display but not both.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is weird - if you delete a sheet that contained a control then
a. showing a modeless userform resluts in a userofrm that goes invisible at subroutine End
b. public variables lose their value
These things do not happen if the sheet did not contain a control. Attached is an example file - put the inputfile.xls in your default file location (or add a path in the code) then open the ProblemDemo.xls and run the main macro to see it fal - isthis another Excelbug I've found?
I have several non-modal userforms in my App, some of them have date-fields that require manual entry typing of dd/mm/yy etc (No single userform has more than one date-box in it, this I think may be pivotally useful)
Now the Userform 'Calendar' that is built on the class of the same (cCalendar) name, has the write value line 'ActiveCell.value = theCal.value'
I'm looking to change this to refer to the correct userform.Textbox value, depending on which form is open.
I would imagine I could simply have a global string, whose value is set (or re-set) whenever a Userform is initialized (some sort of 'ActiveUF.value = Me.Name), where I get lost is referring to the components by name, so as to have a case statement by where I go:
Code:
Private Sub theCal_AfterUpdate()
Select Case ActiveUF
Case "AddForm"
application.vbe.components("AddForm").controls("AddFormDatePicker").value = theCal.value
Case "EditForm"
'.... etc
end select
end sub
better way of doing this (instead of passing around the userform name as a variable) - or proper syntax for referring to controls outside of the 'active' userform (but an open userform nonetheless)?
Every time I have to do this particular thing with userforms, I completely forget how, and the object browser always leads me on an infinite loop of Application.vbe.activevbproject.vbcomponents.vbe.active....
PS - there may be one slight complication to the process - one of the forms, has a 2-tab page in it, each page having similar (but named differently) fields. So I may need to be able to throw in 'Activepage' or whatnot

I have a file which contains many worksheets with many buttons on them for doing administrative work when updating data. I want to be able to click on a button on my "admin" worksheet to hide all the other buttons on the other worksheets. This is hide the buttons from the view of 'readers' so that they will not be tempted to click on a button to see what it might do. I have tried several different variation of coding, but can not seem to get the "right" object to work with so as to set the code to be xxxx.visible=false. I seen references to Shapes, Shape, Control Toolbox buttons objects, CommandButton, etc.
I would really appreciate if someone could give some pointers on how to designate in VB code, which will lend itself of future updates, the following:
in a toogle button, loop through the series of worksheets making each command button on that sheet set visible = false. Then for the other portion of the toogle repeat the process, but set visible = true.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am making an extended spreadsheet schedule for a friend, almost done except how to do this easy: There are 135 (!) cells that will represent day and time in a workweek if someone is available or not. Easiest procedures we could think of is make the cells some how change color, all red by default (unavailable), change them to green if someone is available. We were making a button change its color, but it will require a lot of programming (index numbers to remember) is there an easy way to program 135 buttons or cells to change its color on a mouse click?

I have created a simpel userform that shows sales total and it is activated [.show function] whenever an entry is made in the order column. All of this works fine.
The only problem I have is that the curser jumps in to the text box and doesn't return to the order column where next entry needs to be made.
How do you move the curser out of the userform, back to the activesheet?
Ideally it should move to the next cell for the user to make entry.
I am attaching my sample file here. It has some odd things that I was just playing around with as learning experience. But the main question is how to control the curser.
I have a userform with multiple images
I would like to set all images to visible = false when images are dynamically named.
