Change Button Color Upon Click
Mar 30, 2009I was wondering if it is possible to change the color of a command button after it's been clicked?
This is to allow the user to identify which buttons have already been clicked.

i want the user to be able to change the cell color on the click of a command button. the worksheet is protected. when the user click the command button the active cell changes to red and offsets by 1. then the work sheet is locked again.
The two problems I am having is 1. I want the range to begin from row 10, column k to column FD. all cells down
the second problem is the current code allows me to edit locked cell columns A to J ...
what code I can put behind a button so that once I click on that button,
What ever cell i click on, the whole row of that cell will be colored a certain color.
Is this where i would used a target approach?
Need a method for launching the color palette from a Button Click event so that the palette opens, the palette may be used to set a color, then have the color palette return the Long INT color value to the calling click event routine?

For eg a clicked cell changes to green with a value of 1 point, click again it changes orange with a value of 2 points, click again it changes to red with value of 3 point, then finally click again goes back to no fill with nil value.
This would very very useful for marking my candidates results and categorising them by their level of understanding of a question.
I have this code that ideally should change font color in usedRange to red upon button click. The problem is it's not working and I've been pulling my hair out all day (not that there's much left of it)
HTML Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim UsedRange As Range
Dim cel As Range
[Code]....
and the related "End If" this works i.e. if I click on any cell within respective sheet font in used range all changes to Red but I only want this to change on CommandButton1 click which I have inserted in sheet.
How i can change the coulor of a cell when somebody clicks the cell using VBA? I need the cells to turn green.

The next part I cannot figure out -
after the cell have been highlighted once, and properly colored with an x, how can I get it to delete the fill and clear the x on the next click.
Dim x As Long
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
' Set the highlighted cell to a color.
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("d28:d34")) Is Nothing Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 ' green = true

I have several buttons which, when clicked, pull up a range of data from another tab. Each button repopulates the appropriate cells with its specific data. I need to have an identification of which data set I'm currently viewing so was considering having the button, when clicked, change color or background/lettering colors swap, etc, until another button is clicked, then it changes color and the original button returns to the standard format. Is this possible? What type of button do I need to use?

I have had a play around and I can only create a button that changes the color of one particular cell!
Can I edit the range code in VB in order to apply this to any particular cell?
I am trying to do is if a user hovers the mouse over a commandbutton, the button will change color and the label will tell the user what that button does. This works almost perfectly except that if the user goes directly from one commandbutton to the one directly next to it, they the previous commandbutton does not change back to it's original color. It will only work if the use first move away from the first commandbutton and then hovers over the second.

Me.CommandButton20.BackColor = RGB(149, 28, 2) 'orange

I have a series of 12 option buttons on my spreadsheet named Opt_1 thro' opt_12. Whenever one is pressed, I want to invoke code to action the following:
change forecolor of non-selected option buttons to yellow
change forecolor of the selected option button to red
Enter in Cell A1 the number of the option button slected
So, for example, if Opt_4 was pressed, then
Opt_1 - Opt_3 & Opt_5 - Opt_12 forecolor = yellow
Opt_4 forecolor = red
Cell A1 gets the value of 4 entered into it.
I know how to do this on a user form, by putting the option buttons in a frame and then picking up the array value of the option button, but I have these directly on my spreadsheet next to 12 cells as this is more relevant to my application.
I thought of a Select - Case statement, but this will be rather lengthy. Have you any suggestions on how to tighten this code down.

I have a master "update" commandbutton on sheet 1. I have two sub "update" buttons on sheet 2 and 3 respectively.
What I would like to do is have the user click the master button, that would "click" the two sub buttons so they run their respective macros on their respective worksheets (within the same worksheet.
I have tried pasting the macro code in the master button, telling it to select the sub worksheet and then run the macro, but the marco runs itself on the master worksheet instead.
My boss wants a spreadsheet that has multiple buttons on it that will change the background color of a specific cell to four different colors. Example:
Text written in Cell B3, Button in Cell A3 that will change the Background color of Cell B3 to either Green, Yellow, Red or Blue.
There will be a lot of buttons on this worksheet following the same format as above. I don't want to change the value of what is in the cell, just the background color.
I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range

However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.

I have many workbooks that I receive from clients I run various Excel VBA macros on depending on which workbook it is, and I need to automate all of this so that anyone can run an simple .exe user interface designed in VB 2005 Express Edition where when that interface is run, a window opens on the destop with a collection of buttons, when the user clicks one of the buttons, Excel launches, loads the appropriate file and runs an already-existing appropriate Excel macro, then some file maintenance is done, like moving a group of files from one subdirectory to another.

Unfortunately, the data it pulls is usually old. I've found the only solution is to open a browser manually and to click the Reload button on the web page then navigate back to my workbook and run it again. Then it will pull the most up to date info.
I've tried several ways of forcing a refresh of the data, but have not figured it out yet.
I have been trying the past couple of hours to use the send keys button to tab down to the button on the page I need and to hit enter, thus forcing a refresh, but I can't seem to get that to work either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.

I would like to be able to change the color of a cell in V4:AB31 and have the formula in AM10:AM13 automatically calculate the new result. As it is now the user has to press Ctrl ALT f9 for the formula to recalculate.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way, through VBA code, to click a button on a sheet in another workbook. This button has a macro assigned to it. What I need to be done is this :- the workbook which has the button is open. The code should click the button on a specific sheet. On this action, the macro assigned to the button should get called.
I could just call the macro which is assigned to the button in this code. But the requirement is that the button click operation should call the macro.
I have found that one can do quite a lot with the code, but this seems to be one a whole different level. I came across a possible solution in the below mentioned link but it doesnt seem to be working for me. [URL]
