Is there an Event Handler that runs a macro whenever any control object in a worksheet has its state changed or whenever any checkbox is checked/unchecked. I want to have a method handle this outside of the checkbox since the number of checkboxes are dynamic and should not have to be individually coded by the user.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to attach Worksheet_Change to a worksheet created at runtime. Usually you put it in the code window of the Sheet object but what do you do when you create the worksheet at runtime?
I wonder if there is a way to clear event handler code in a userform programmatically?
Haven't quite managed it yet.
Something like:
dim x as integer
With ThisForm.CodeModule
x = .CountOfLines
For 1 to x
.line = ""
Next x
End With

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook, that when opened the first time needs to prompt the user to save it. I got that working with no issues by using
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SaveOnOpen
End Sub
where SaveOnOpen is a procedure in another module. What I would like to do now is re-assign the Workbook_Open sub to be set to null, so that it doesn't run any more. Is it possible to somehow assign Workbook_Open to call a null procedure, as opposed to setting up an onTime call to delete the code itself?
I have a standard module in which I gather information from a workbook, create an XML document, Post it, and collect the value I need from the response XML. Thing is I have to run through it maybe hundreds or thousands of times depending on the number of records I have. It takes ten years to finish the loop. I have read that it might be possible to post them concurrently using a class module and an event handler, but I have not worked with Class modules before. Compiling all the XML documents into memory is easy, posting them and getting my return values in a timely manner is the problem at hand.
View 2 Replies View Relatedto save typing the same things over and over I have created a dialog box with checkboxes, named with several common terms we use when writing an invoice. i.e. dig a hole, paint a fence etc. I have assigned the dialog box to a button on the worksheet.
When I check the checkboxes, I want the text to go to a blank section of the invoice one underneath the other. The reading I have done suggests this is an event-handler subroutine, I just don't know enough about VBA yet to be able to write the code.
Is there any way in VBA to refer to a control in its own event procedure without referring to it by name/hard-coding?
It might be clearer to explain by a dummy code example:

I realise that there's no set order for different types of event, because, as you say, it basically depends on what the user does. But what I'd like to control is what order like events fire in.
So let's say that object_1 handles the aplApp_WorkbookNewSheet event (an application-wide event).
Let's say that object_2 is an object of the same type as object_1, and therefore also handles the aplApp_WorkbookNewSheet event.
The objects are entirely independent; they know nothing about each other. However, I would like to be able to control whether the aplApp_WorkbookNewSheet event is fired first in object_1 or first in object_2 when the user triggers this event by adding a new worksheet somewhere.
I have a spreadsheet control inside of a userform. I can generally access this spreadsheet and do what I need to do with it. My problem is that I need to monitor it for the cell change event. I normally accomplish this with:

So, I have a worksheet with a bunch of combo boxes. The code for the worksheet is below. The issue I'm having is that anytime I drag and drop a cell anywhere on the page, every single control on the worksheet triggers. VB runs through all the code on the sheet, TWICE(I used the debugger extensively trying to find a solution), and causes dozens of successive re-calculations of the entire workbook, which has a couple of tables. This happens on any cell drag-drop on the worksheet, or when I click the command button on the screen.
I have no clue what is causing this. Even more bizarre, it seems to trigger a custom function which is located in a separate module, and isn't even utilized on the worksheet in question. I guess this is because it makes the whole workbook re-calculate?
I have a macro that checks if a username is in a particular list, and if it is, it unhides certain sheets in the workbook.
The code runs fine if I just run it as a macro or off a command button, but I am trying to execute it when the workbook opens and I keep getting a 57121, Application defined or object defined error.
The code is below;
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim Res1 As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim GovRng As Range
For Each GovRng In Sheets("Map").Range("GovernanceMembers")
If GovRng.Value = Application.UserName Then Goto 111

I have an excel application which works extremely well in one single instancec. It has a bunch of ActiveX control objects on the worksheet. Generally I call them by convention Sheet1.Cmd.show.
I have since experimented with having multiple instances of excel running on the machine. I start to notice something very strange. The first instance I open and run all the activeX buttons are all clickable. As soon as I open a second instance of an excel program all the activeX buttons on the worksheet are not even clickable. They are enabled by my program, but not clickable as if they were not there at all.
I also try open a normal excel workbook then followed by my excel program in a second instance. Even though the first excel file does not utilize any activeX objects all my buttons on the subsequent instance are not clickable.
The weird thing is all my activeX control objects on a userforms are still clickable and call to all my planned events in my program. It is just all the activeX controls on my worksheet that do not have any reaction at all.
I always think when one opens a new instance it will be totally indpendent and would even occupy another CPU if my machine has more in it. If they are truly independent then I am at a loss to understand why my activeX controls would fail to work at all.
I'm creating a custom function to cut down on redundant code. However, in converting the code to a function so that it may be used in different instances, I'm getting an unexpected error when the code executes.
The error is:
Code:
Object doesn't support this property or method.
Here is my function:
Code:
Public Function chkClick(checkboxName As String, tabName As String, chartName As String, seriesNumber As Long)
Sheets(tabName).ChartObjects(chartName).Activate
If Sheets(tabName).checkboxName.Value = True Then
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(seriesNumber).Select
[code]....
The function checks the status of the checkbox name passed to it. If it's checked, it will show a chart series. If it's not checked, it will hide the chart series. The error comes in referencing the "checkboxName".
How might I need to alter the code so that I can use the form control name as a variable? This is ultimately one of the key components of the function as each control has it's own name.
I have a userform with a combobox in it that's rowsource is a column of company names in a worksheet. When a company name is chosen, a combobox change private sub runs and many userform textboxes are populated with information about the company that was chosen from the combobox dropdown. This information is stored on a worksheet. I then want to edit any of the information in these textboxes. Once my edits are made I have a CommandButton that is pressed to save the edit changes. This CommandButton runs a private sub that disables the combobox (thinking this would prevent the combobox private sub from running), deletes the row that the information originated from, and then SHOULD make a new row of values based on the contents of the textboxes following the edits. The problem is that the CommandButton coding that deletes the row causes the combobox change private sub to run because the company that had been selected is now the missing from the rowsource; this causes an error.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble getting control ENTER & EXIT events to fire properly when having controls embedded on frames within a userform. I'm using Excel 2003, 2007, & 2010. Here's the userforms I'm working with:
With FRAME:
Without FRAME:
In both cases, the DESCRIPTION field is disabled. The selectable controls on both are a combo-box, textbox, listbox, & 2 buttons. On the FRAMED version, the combo-box & textbox are contained on a FRAME.
Here's the code, same on both userforms:
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmbRecipes_Enter()
ListBox1.AddItem "ENTER - " & cmbRecipes.Value
End Sub
Private Sub cmbRecipes_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
ListBox1.AddItem "EXIT - " & cmbRecipes.Value
End Sub
All this is doing is posting a message to the listbox when the combo-box ENTER & EXIT events fire. This works as expected without the FRAME, ENTER is shown when the combo-box is entered and EXIT is shown as focus is moved to another control. But when running it on the FRAMED version all I get is a single ENTER event recorded regardless of how I move the focus through the control set.
Another oddity is that if I have more than 1 control that can receive focus on the FRAMED version, it appears to work correctly.
I have a userform that reads data from a sheet with thousands of records (lines) each record with some 30 cells (columns). I wanted the user to scroll up & down in the sheet, using the keyboard arrows and I wanted the userform to show the relevant record, where the cursor stands. For this purpose I created an event handler (Worksheet_SelectionChange) that identifies the scrolling, populates the form with the relevant record data and then returns the focus back to the sheet. The command I have used to send focus back to the sheet (so the user can keep scrolling) is:
VB:
AppActivate "Microsoft Excel" & " - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
Now comes the bizarre part... This macro can work perfectly for hours and then decide to "die", or can work on one computer but not the other (all with Excel 2007, BTW). When the macro dies (or if it does not work, to begin with), the debugger points to the command I mentioned, with an error message "Run-time error '5' , Invalid procedure all or argument."
how to make my macro "stable" (make it work always and on every computer)?
Unfortunately, I cannot upload the file, because it contains confidential data (and it is not in English...).
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Column < 2 And Target.Row > 1 And Target.Row <= lr Then

I have a piece of code with some error handlers in it but for some reason the error handler can't deal with a second error. The example code below suffers from the same problem in that it falls over when it tries to process the i = "w" line for the second time. If you F8 through the code the error handler works the first time but not the second. Why is this and what can I do to get it to keep going to erH when it hits the i = "w" line?
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
testing:
On Error GoTo erH
i = "w"
erH:
i = 1
GoTo testing
End Sub
how to improve the following error handling strategy and code samples so as to maximise its usefulness for the purposes described.
During function calculations in VBA, such as is done by numerical integrators, numerical run-time errors may occur, such as:
Err.Number = 5 Invalid procedure call eg. LOG(-5)
Err.Number = 6 Overflow
Err.Number = 11 Division by zero
My present strategy to address these errors:
Say the variable x is used in the function calculations, and some particular value of x causes one of the above errors to occur. After the above errors are trapped, the x value is increased slightly from its initial value, and the failed calculation line is retried (Resume). On the next error trap, the x value is decreased slightly from its initial value, and the calculation tried again. This way, the initial x value is cyclically changed by adding increasing magnitude increments of alternating signs, searching for the nearest x value which will allow the function calculation to be done without error. Thus it causes the x value to swing around the initial x value in a pendulum-like manner, but with a widening swing per pass.
So far, I have the following code:
Code:
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 5 Or Err.Number = 6 Or Err.Number = 11 Then
If Initial = True Then

From my userform I use a calendar to input in two text boxes the "from" and the "to" dates and get a "custom" statement of activity by company.
If I input two dates that do not exist within my summary of sales how can I code in order to get an error message AND clear the text boxes. (textbox1&2)
Example: jan 07 to Dec07 do not exist/ Oct 09 does
"from" and the "to" dates = 01/01/2007 to 12/10/2010 would work (and it does)
01/07/2007 to 12/06/2007 does not exist anywhere then I want to see a message box to that effect AND the textboxes cleared for input of the new "from" date in textbox1
If Impossible at least can you help on an error handler? (on error resume does not work or at least I think it does not)
Before doing some modifications in a data sheet, I first check with the below code whether a certain list is complete or not using the VLOOKUP function. If I encounter a missing value in the list, a userform appears asking to fill out 3 data fields, which are then added to the original list to complete it. All of this works fine if only one line is missing; if there are two (or more) lines missing, all goes well untill the VLOOKUP function errors out on the second line missing.
I can't find out why everythign goes welll with the first missing line, but not with the second missing line.

Is it possible to create an Error Handler for the entire workbook, or do you have to put one on every sub routine?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing a macro to track stats in a workbook. The workbook has the check every tab in the given workbook, hidden and unhidden. In order to track the stats I find a column labeled "Read Dates" on each worksheet. The "Read Dates" column is not always in the same location so I have the macro Find the words "Read Dates". To make sure the cell the macro finds is the column label and not just another cell where someone may have used the words "Read Dates", I have an 'If/Then' statement checking the column to the left to ensure "Rev Mo" is there. If the state is true, the macro begins tracking stats. If the statement is false it attempts to find the next cell containing "Read Dates".
My problem occurs when the macro selects a sheet that contains no data or does not have the words "Read Dates". To help remedy this, I have an Errhandler that simply tells the macro to move onto the next worksheet. My problem is that there are several worksheets that do not have a cell with the value of "Read Date" so the second time the ErrHandler errors. Below is the section of the code I currently have an issue with.
Sub Begin_tracking()
'Error Handler
On Error Goto ErrHandler
WCount = Worksheets.Count
For i = 1 To WCount
If Worksheets(WCount - i + 1).Visible Then
Worksheets(WCount - i + 1).Select
Can anyone think of a better way of doing this so the entire workbook is worked or tell me how I can reset the Error Handler is it will move onto the next worksheet? I've looked into help on this forum to rest the ErrHandler but what I've found and tried has not worked. The ErrHandler may be invoked 2 times or it may be invoked 20 times depending on the workbook.
