Creating Buttons Using VBA
Dec 16, 2008I'm trying to make a macro that creates a button (to run another macro). I'm also trying to make sure this has a specific name, instead of just "Button#". The code I get from recording this is:

View 5 RepliesI want to have 2 groups of option buttons, and create them similar to the way I've created textboxes (as shown here):
With Sheets("sheet1").TextBoxes.Add(10, 5, 100, 100)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.Caption = "Check Selection"
.Border.Weight = xlThick
End With
When I try:
With Sheets("sheet1").OptionButton.Add(20 , 5, 100, 100)
I receive a runtime error 438
Also, how can I set up the grouping options, and have a default selection already picked?
Is it possible to create a number of command buttons, depending on the number of lines on a worksheet, and then have the code attached to the command buttons execute based on the position of the buttons on the sheet. For example, if I have a button positioned over, say A3, can the code execute based on the content of another cell in the same row. I imagine that the button would have to be linked to the cell, but I cannot see how that is achieved.

I would like to create a list of projects in column A.
Then the user would select one of the projects. This can be done by clicking on the corresponding cell in column B. So I would lkie to see buttons in column B for this. OR if someone can suggest another way, e.g. highlighting the project name in column A or putting an x in corresponding cell in column B.
I can make this last scenerio work, but I don't know how to assure that only one project can be selected at a time.
In other words if I have selected project in ROW 12 and then I want to see project in ROW 17, I should be able to select 17. And 12 should be deselected automatically.

Is it at all possible to create a User Form where the number of CheckBoxes will be linked to the number of entries in a cell range?
For example I have a 3 records in the range A:A called "Blue", "Green", "Yellow". I want to have a user form with 3 CheckBoxes with the same caption names.
I am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
Is there a quicker way?
Is it possible to change the color of buttons or command buttons? There does not seem to be any place that allows this under properties for buttons, although there does for command bars. However, I've tried recording a macro as I change the color, but nothing get's recorded so I'm not sure what the syntax would be.
I have a spreadsheet with several buttons and I'd like them to change colors as they are pressed so it's possible to see what you've already done. And then, as soon as any other cell on the sheet is changed, the buttons reset color.
I am trying to build a selection for a procedure to use.

I've been asked to add a few to a sheet we use at work, problem I'm having is when I add these new buttons from the forms toolbar and then assign the cell link for them some of the other radio buttons on the sheet asume the cell link of the new buttons and when I change them back the cell link for the new buttons change ? i could understand this problem if I had maybe copied them and modified the copies perhaps but that isn't the case.

If possible I would like to create using vba a button at the end of my rows of data allowing a user to copy and insert the row next to the button, i.e. duplicate.
I am using the following code to create the button but am not clear how to link a button to a row or cell. The button would be within a cell in a row at the end of the data.
Range("a2").Offset(rowoffset, 10).Select
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add ActiveCell.Left, ActiveCell.Top, ActiveCell.Width, ActiveCell.Height
rowoffset increments within a loop and a button is placed at the end of each row of data.
I would also like to know how to name the button.
I created a frame in a spreadsheet I put in 2 options buttons that I called Left the first one and Right the second one. I got 2 cells lets say C10 and G10 in these 2 cells I write the cell number values. When I click on button one or Left, I need the cell C10 be set focussed and write a number e.j 5. However, when click on the second butt to write a number e.j 7, the number in the cell C10 still there, so, what I need is a cero or an empty cell C10, and viceversa. Could you help to write a code for this problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells (A1:D5) identified within a worksheet (worksheetA) as part of a user input form.
When a certain condition exists, a routine is executed that copies a range of cells (C1:F5) from another worksheet (worksheetB) to this defined range. The copied area consists of two command buttons. They get copied and pasted no problem.
When I want to reset (blank it out of its contents) my range in worksheetA from I copy another range over of just a range of blank shaded cells. However, doing this does not eliminate the command buttons left in the range on previous pasting.
How do I delete these command buttons left from previous pasting activities when I wish to reset my range?
I currently have a sheet (SHEET-A) which pulls in a figure from a cell (CELL-G) in another workbook sheet (SHEET-B), and displays the value in CELL-X.
CELL-X then is used for a series of calculations on SHEET-A.
CELL-Y is adjacent to CELL-X and can have a number entered into it which is then used instead of CELL-X for the calculations on SHEET-A. (It is also incidently displayed over CELL-Gs value in CELL-X)
I would like to have a button next to CELL-Y which upon click alters the value of CELL-G in SHEET-B to that of CELL-Y in SHEETA.
I am trying to do a small survey within my company by email.
It is very short, 5 questions, I was hoping to add in yes/no buttons and have a code that will sum up the individual responses.

I have created a great little macro to handle a large amount of data on my spreadsheet that I've been using for several months. It's a shared sheet that is used by many people, but the macro is protected...That being said, something strange has happened that none of my buttons for activating the macro are no longer visible. I can't even create new ones. I get a box outline with a little red X in the upper LH corner. I've verified that the button is in fact set to be visible and set up properly for colors, etc.
I'm not sure what's happened since it happened in a matter of hours...did something get "deactivated" that I need to re-instate?
Is there a way to put round, or any other shape, buttons in vba forms?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIMAGE1.jpg ... This list uses rows up to 1040. What I am needing to do is create a master button similar to the "Show All" Button at the top that hides any sub group automatically based on the values in the yellow box. The hide button to the right of the hardware assembly will hide the rows when pressed but that requires me to go down the list and press each button that the yellow box has a zero in. I would like to create a button that has a macro that will automatically "click" or run the hide button when its corresponding yellow box has a zero in it. If the value is greater than zero it does not need to hide that hardware group.
Example from attached image. If I were to run the new macro it would run the hide button for rows 5-8, not run the macro for rows 10-13, then again run the macro for rows 15-18, and so on until it reaches the last yellow box which is row 1036 (hide rows 1035-1039).
I'm interested if it is at all possible to configure say, one sheet that is a rough visual layout of an inventory shelf, and if an object on said shelf was clicked, then relevant text would be displayed in the respective fields.
So if I had a picture of a shelf full of groceries on sheet1, and say clicked on a can of beans, then beside my picture of the shelf full of groceries, it will copy over the information I keep relevant to my beans.
What can I do to prevent a button to shrink to a fraction of its size when it's clicked?
It used to work alright, but when I got the file back from a collegue it started to show this weird behaviour?
I'm trying to delete the buttons on the top of this worksheet, and for some reason am not able to do so.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having an internal debate of how my worksheets shoud be configured.
My workbook could potentially contain 300+ worksheets, 10 control buttons and around 20 macros.
Each worksheet contains data in a range ~ A1:AC40 with many blank cells.
Do you think a workbook with this many worksheets would be unmanageable given the Comp Spec of the user PC below?
Most of the cells are simply short text data.

Attached I have kind of a score card, when you open the tab named TEAM1 a userform pops up and I pick the partners that played together, then I can pick an option button labeled 0,1,2 or 3, when it unloads, is it possible to make it put the corresponding number by their names in the empty row (W) of the week they are playing?, and not just the 1st open row available?
For example, if I pick the names Ryan and Stu the number will go under week 10 (X3) and not find the empty cell in (J3)?, I have no clue how to make this happen, but I made a userform to use, to try and make it work.

I am looking for a way to use 2 optionbuttons in vba. The option buttons are in different groups, and are independent.
I cannot get this to work. Is this even possible? In sheet1, the vba would read something like this.
