im using combobox from the forms toolbar. and i have tryed and searched lots of forms and sites but no results, so what im trying to do is change the font size to 12 in my combobox using VBA.
-im using xl2000
-i dont wanto switch to the combox in the active x becouse i have more than 70 comboboxs in this spread sheet. and it will also be very complicated to change the comboboxes due to all the link cell's and there values.
I am trying to change the font size on my combo box using VBA.
I create the combobox dynamically, so need to be able to change the font too.
This is how I create the combobox, however the .Font.Size = 10 does not work and the default font size is 11.
Code:
With ActiveSheet .OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=159.75, Top:=80.25, Width:=75.75, Height:=19.5) _
.Font.Size = 10
.Name = "cmbBaseD"
.OLEObjects("cmbBaseD").ListFillRange = "DynRng"
End With
I have a created a filter in my workbook. Text for the entire spreadsheet is set to Arial | 12 pt. Font. However, when I select any one drop down list the text therein is shown in a font size that is too small. How can I change the font size to make it more readable?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a combo Box (Form Control) in my spreadsheet which is basically used as a drop down menu.
How do I change the font size of the text that appears in the box?
I've been successful at changing the font size for the Main title and legend using these commands:
Code:
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Font.Size = 8
ActiveChart.Legend.Font.Size = 8
But the horizontal axis has me stumped. I recorded part of this but can't get it to work:
Code:
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).AxisTitle.Font.Size = 8
How can I change the typeface to Times New Roman for all three and change the font size for the Axis titles? hundreds of charts to change and not enough patience to to it manually.
Is there any way to change font style, size and colour of text in a combobox?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to set up a spreadsheet whereby individuals answer questions and have to format their answer using a particular font, colour, font size and so on. The idea is that I can then compare their answer sheet to a pre completed one using an =IF function and get a total score. The only problem is =if and =exact only lookup cell text/numbers and don't look at how the text is formatted within them.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a form which is called up via a macro and then shows a combobox which contains the names of the worksheets in the workbook.
I am trying to enable the user to select one of the worksheet names from the combobox and then store that name (the book does not have fixed sheet names) and continue with the original macro using the stored name.
I just can't figure out how to use the selected name in the original macro.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have my Excel set up for a default font size of 12 point.
I often download CSV data to insert into spreadsheets. It opens in a new spreadsheet, and it's properly displayed in 12 point size. When i copy and paste it into the ultimate target spreadsheet (which is also set to 12 point size) the pasted data shows up as 10-point and I have to change the font size back to 12-point every time.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid that re-sizing that occurs?
This probably sounds really weird, but does anyone know whether the size of the text in Cell A1 on Sheet 1 can be linked to the size of the text in Cell B2 on Sheet 2? Like, when I change the size of Cell A1's text, is there a way to have the size of Cell B2's text change as well?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI currently have an Excel spreadsheet already created. I have added drop down lists using the Validation>Data feature and can get this to create the drop-down box, but the font is unreadable. If I create a new sheet and create the drop-down list it becomes readable. I can't figure out why the first is unreadable due to its small size. I eventually plan to add formulas to calculate how many yes's or no's in a column, but will address that later. I use Excel 2003.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox from the Forms Toolbox inserted in a worksheet and have a macro assigned to run when the user selects a value. After the value is selected in the combobox I'd like the combobox to clear itself (show a blank). Currently the selected value stays highlighted in the combobox after the selection is made. I know how to do this with a Controls combobox, but cannot figure out how to use it with a Forms combobox. (The reason I am not using the controls cb is because there seems to be an Excel2007 bug that causes the properties of the displayed text to randomly change when the control is activated. When a selection is made in the controls cb, the text displayed in the cb turns bold, and either grows or shrinks in size to the point that it is unreadable. Same thing seems to happen with all other ActiveX controls...)

How do you increase the font size of a drop down list in excel apart from zooming in. I have 10 dropdwnbxs each with about 16 items.
Everything works fine but users can not see the contents of each drop down box(fonts are too small). Is there a solution to this? (or just keep zooming in/out). Example i have a drop down box in A2 with source from F2:F17.....etc

I have a drop-down list that displays at about a size 6 (or smaller) font when the worksheet is displayed at 75-100%. I can make it readable by changing the magnification of the sheet to 150-200%, but that takes the rest of the sheet out of view, interferes with functionality, and is just an all-around pain in the butt. How do I format the list to make it display at a readable size?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created a combo box in excel with the macro recorder. This is the code that came back:
Sub test1()
ActiveSheet.DropDowns.Add(1305, 52.5, 242.25, 39).Select
With Selection
.ListFillRange = "$AW$4:$AW$18"
.LinkedCell = "$AX$5"
.DropDownLines = 5
.Display3DShading = False
End With
End Sub
This always results in a default font size of 8 for my list. Can anyone tell me how to modify the code above to change the font size to 14? And how to modify the color of the list.
Since Form Controls comboboxes don't allow font editing, I need to switch to ActiveX...
The combo box values come from the following cell range:
tbl_arrays!$I$3:$I$6
Those values are, from top to bottom: "select distance", "50 Miles", "100 Miles", "150 Miles".
The following macro is also assigned to the combobox:
[Code].....
I have two issues. The first is that the macro doesn't seem to be working. It is supposed to filter a list of cities within 50, 100 and 150 miles of a user input zip or city. The original Forms Control combo works but not ActiveX after I put the code in the change event:
[Code] .........
The second issue is that the last clicked value in the ActiveX comboBox replaces the top one.
Ex: from top to bottom, the combobox should display:
[Code] ........
but if the user clicks "100 Miles", the combobox is then going to display
[Code] ......
If the user then select "50 Miles", the box displays:
[Code] ........
I am trying to work out how i can run a macro on an 'initializing event'...which is caused by when I click on a certain Forms ComboBox.
This drop down box is a shape and it is called "Drop Down Box 11"
so was hoping to write something like
The box is linked in with Cell E56
so have put in my code as
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_selectionChange(ByVal Target As Object)
If Target.address = "$E$56" Then range("f56").value = "Yes" etc...
but it still allows me to click on the combo box and change my pick but it still doesn't initialize the event.
I have executed this macro from this spreadsheet many times but today, after I execute the macro, the box increased in size. I repositioned it on the page, resized it and re-executed. Now it is decreasing the font size within the button each time I execute. It executed just fine yesterday. I assume it's some setting in excel because I've tried another spreadsheet and am seeing the same result.
