Dynamically Create UserForm Controls
Nov 29, 2007
I am working on a dynamically produced userform but the dynamically created Cancel and OK buttons don't work. I have been able to get round it by adding the buttons to the top of the form (non- dynamic) but I'd really like to be able to create them dynamically based on variable for other parts of the project. How can I produce dynamic command buttons that actually work?
Here's my code but I'd be happy with generic code I could use.
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
' Define variables
Dim LabelV As MSForms.Label
Dim CheckboxV As MSForms.Checkbox
Dim rngFields As Excel.Range
Dim field As Excel.Range
Dim lngNextTop As Long
Dim lngTitleBarHeight As Long
Dim ColumnNum As Integer
' Set constants
' Choose height and width of Label box
Const cTextBoxHeight As Long = 12..............

Is it possible to dynamically add or remove controls on an Excel userform using VBA? Doing this before the userform is displayed would be great.

I have a problem with a dynamic userform that I need to create.
I need a userform in which the number of controls are determined by the some values in the worksheet. The users of the workbook must be able to add new controls to the form, so I do not know the number of controls in advance. I therefore can not create the userform through the design module but must create it through code instead.
I need a userform with a number of comboboxes and a commandbutton, which when clicked sends the content of the comboboxes to the first empty row in a worksheet.
My problem is that I can't assign any commands to the comboboxes (which are created at runtime), nor can I use the values of the comboboxes in any commands assigned to other controls in the userform (e.g. the commandbutton).
I have read as far that I probably need some form of class module to create the controls at runtime, but since I am relatively new at VBA, I'm having trouble getting the class module to work in connection with the userform.

I am trying to create some controls in a userform on the fly based on the data in a sheet. The part of my code is the following:
summaryForm.Controls.Add bstrProgID:="forms.label.1", Name:="LAWts", Visible:=True
With summaryForm.Controls("LAWts")
.Top = 120
.Left = 20
.Height = 18
.Width = 300
.Caption = "Weights: "
End With
Question I is that how can I connet this textbox to a click event or just to a procedure when it is clicked? I tried to use OnAction but it does not work for textbox in a userform. Question II is that how can I find the all properties of a textbox or any other controls? Is there a manuel or reference available on the internet?

I have a userform with a single blank multipage. At runtime additional pages are added, the number of pages depends on input from another userform. Six frames, containing labels, textboxes and comboboxes are then added to each page.
I need to be able to use the textbox and combobox change events of these dynamically created controls to perform lookups and calculations. Although I can name the controls at the time they are created, it is not feasible to write code specifically for each control (I can have over 1,600 text boxes distributed over 9 pages, for example).
Having searched for some time on how to achieve this I believe using a class module is the way to go. However, how to use a class module is just not sinking in I'm afraid.
HTML Private WithEvents mpTextBox As MSForms.TextBox
Private WithEvents mpComboBox As MSForms.ComboBox
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set mpTextBox = MSForms.TextBox
Set mpComboBox = MSForms.ComboBox
End Sub
Private Sub mpComboBox_Change()
MsgBox "ComboBox value has been changed."
End Sub...........................................

I'm looking for some VB code that will enable me to dynamically create Textboxes for every value that I have in a range.
Example date in range B2:B5:
apple
banana
orange
pear
I would want the macro to create 4 Textboxes on the active worksheet, each one with the text contained in the range.

Is there a way to create objects dynamically? for example, I know that I need to many create objects of a class, but I don't know how many objects I need before hand. Does VB allow you to create objects on the fly? If so, how can it be done?

or it's text box/ labels depending upon learning of how many records the application is working with?
I remember some body here has said that you could either
1 - create many labels and text box and then once run the application hides the number of the ones not use or
2 - you could once run the application have visual basic create label and text of the right number associate with the number of records working with.
I have looked at both these option and have found nothing. So is this possible and show some examples if you have them.

See the attached example. I have data listed as shown, but need the chart to automatically update whenever a new sales figure is added to the next month. I know you have to use the OFFSET to create dynamic ranges but I can't get it to work horizontally, only if my data is laid out vertically.

I am looking for a solution to dynamically create named ranges according to the contents of cells in a particular column. The following code works for 1 word names, but in many cases the title cell contains numerous words separated by spaces. Is there a way I can adapt this code so that it will name the ranges with the spaces removed? For example, where cell C2 contains the narrative 'Sales Ledger Control', I would want the range name 'SalesLedgerControl'.
Range("R2:Z2").Name = Range("C2")
The named ranges are referred to in numerous other worksheets, where selecting a particular narrative from a listbox creates a dependant drop-down in the adjacent cell (eg if Sales Ledger Control is selected, the dependant list contains names of customers). FYI, the data validation in the other worksheets ignores the spaces in the range names, ie: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(G2," ",""))
It would not take me long to name the ranges manually, but a macro is preferable because the narratives in the title cells will often change and the range names will obvioulsy also therefore change.

I have a userform that has nested multipages (5 in the outer page, 4 in the inner page).
On each of these multipages, I want to have the same controls (sliders) laid out in the same order - but with unique names, named after their tab location, for each control so I can use their value property later in the code.
I've designed the layout and named all the controls on my first sheet (e.g. Slider1Outer1Inner1). I now need a way of automating the replication of these across the other 19 sheets (including the nested inner multipage!); so that equivalent slider for example would be called Slider1Outer1Inner2, Slider1Outer1Inner3 etc.
I'm not sure about coding VBA to act on items within VBA...
VB:
" For each multipage in outer
For Each multipage In inner
For Each Object In current multipage
Copy inner.object -> Next multipage
Inner.object.name = CurrentOuter & CurrentInner & CurrentSlider "

I have a number of TextBoxes across the page, all set to Visible=False.
If these get filled with data then I need to set Visible=True.
Rather than hard code this individually for each one (which is not a problem, it just looks untidy), can I select each row as a Group (whilst designing the form, not in the code) and then set that Group to Visible=True ?

I have a userform that contains several textboxes, checkboxes, and comboboxes. There are also some command buttons, one of which says clear all. What I want to do is loop through the controls and clear the contents or change the value to false, depending on the type. I can do this by type the name.value = "", but there are alot of controls. If possible, a loop would be much more effecient.

What are the pros/cons of using Userforms with the various objects (comboboxes, textboxes,etc) compared to putting the controls at the worksheet level? Are there things you can do in one and not the other?

I am trying to transfer data from a worksheet to a user form, so that the end users can edit the data on the user form, save it, and the revised data is sent back to the worksheet. since the worksheet data is dynamic, i am trying to dynamically add controls in the user form. but the form displays only one data.
Set sdel = Sheets("Deliverables")
Set rStartCell = sdel.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 0)
counter = Mid(rStartCell.Address, 4)
dummy = 0
cnt = 1
'copy data from sheet to the user form
With sdel
'checking if deliverables sheet has any data
' If .Range("A3") <> " " Then Exit Sub
' MyTextBox.Caption = .Range("A3").Value
For r = 3 To counter
If .Cells(r, 1) <> "" Then
Set MyTextBox = Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", "lbl" & cnt, Visible)
MyTextBox.Top = topadd + 30
MyTextBox.Left = 20
MyTextBox.Width = 150
MyTextBox = .Range("A" & r).Value
cnt = cnt + 1
Else
dummy = dummy + 1
End If
Next r

I have a userform with a series of textboxes used for data entry (numeric values) specifically, 3 groups with 5 text boxes per group. If the value of any text box within a group is either >= the value of a cell in a worksheet range (Benchmark, i.e. BM), then the BackColor of that particular text box changes to green.
The challenge I have is trying to loop through each set of five controls to determine if the control's value is >= to the cell's value in the worksheet range, and if that condition is met, than changing the BackColor to green.
I know there must be a more efficient way to make this happen than to write an 'If - Then' for each text box (see code below)
Private Sub Benchmarks()
BM1 = Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("A1").Value
BM2 = Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("A2").Value
If txtGroup1Box1.Value <> "X" And txtGroup1Box1.Value <> "" And txtGroup1Box1.Value <= BM1 Then
txtGroup1Box1.BackColor = &HFF00&
Else
txtGroup1Box1.BackColor = &H80000005 ............................

way to allow a user to add a control to a userform without going into the VBE. Here is the situation, I am developing a userform to calculate a projected budget. I want the user to be able to select the number of controls to add, and click a command button to add them. Based on other selections that the user makes, different controls would automatically be added. Is this possible? As a follow up, will I be able to atttach code to these new controls?

On the event that a combobox is changed the objects on my userform that relate to the same information as the combobox need to be disabled (and made invisible)... however if another choice is made then they need to be enabled again and then the objects relating to the new selection need to be disabled.
Private Sub cbo1_Change()
Dim DisableIndex As Integer
Dim CellAddress As String
Worksheets("Matrix").activate
ActiveSheet. Range("B1").Select
Do
If ActiveCell.Value <> cboVarNamEn.Value Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
End If
Loop While ActiveCell.Value <> cboVarNamEn.Value
CellAddress = ActiveCell.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1)
ActiveSheet.Range("B1:" & CellAddress).Select
DisableIndex = Selection.Cells.Count
Me.FrameAddEn.Controls("label" & DisableIndex).Enabled = False
Me.FrameAddEn.Controls("label" & DisableIndex).Visible = False
'there a few other objects here that will also be disabled... text boxes, check boxes etc.
Putting an unload/load command in won't work for obvious reasons and I can't use a command button because that would require my clients to actually think of pressing it.

I have a userform that has one combobox at the top created manually. When the userform is opened, the user select an option in the combobox (these options are taken from a range on 1 worksheet). From the selection of the combobox, I use the comboxbox's change event to create and display 5 columns of textboxes and 2 columns of command buttons on the userform.
The number of rows of textboxes created depend on the option selected from the combobox since each option links to a different range of cells. Each of the 5 textboxes in each are set to be ".enabled = False" and display text as per the cell values within a range on another worksheet. 2 Columns of command buttons are created at the end of each row of textboxes - 1 is enabled and the other is not.
The creation of the textboxes and command buttons works as required. However, I am having problems with setting click events for each command buttons. When the 1st column of Command buttons are created, I need the click events to be created and filled out with 2 actions:
1. Enable all textboxes in the same row as the command button
2. Enable the other command button in the same row.
Here is the code I have so far that creates the textboxes and command buttons.
Each of the 5 textboxes and 2 command buttons have a unique name so the 1st row will have textbox and command button names of cTxtA1, cTxtB1, cTxtC1, cTxtD1, cTxtE1, CmdAmend1 and CmdConfirm1. The 2nd row will have the same names but with 2 on the end and so on. The bold sections is the code for the creation of the command buttons that I want click events for.
Code:
Private Sub CboTeamSelect_Change()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If CboGroupSelect.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
Dim cTxtA As Control, cTxtB As Control, cTxtC As Control, cTxtD As Control, cTxtE As Control
Dim CmdAmend As Control, CmdConfirm As Control
Dim iNum As Integer
Dim TxtTop As Long
[code]....

I have a MultiPage userform and I'm adding (4) control buttons - CancelButton, BackButton, ForwardButton and FinishButton. On the first page, those names are fine but when I get to subsequent pages, I get an ambiguous error if I try to name the controls the same. But the code will all be the same. What am I missing? In an example that I have, the user was able to name all the controls with the same name. What setting would control that?

My userform has a group of controls, four navigation buttons and a textbox. The nav. buttons have accelerator keys, Alt+N for next record and so on. I was moving the group about on a userform, when hey presto! it suddenly disappeared. When I run the form, the navigation buttons do not appear, but I can still navigate using Alt+N, Alt+P. Here's what I've done so far, trying to find out what's going on.
* I selected all controls with Ctrl+A, but there was no sign of any object in the place where the missing group should have been.
* I looked on the Object Browser (which is something I don't understand too well yet) and the navigation buttons are there.
* I hid all the controls, and showed them again, didn't help.
* The group I was moving was near the bottom of the form. I set the zoom property of the form to 50, so all controls in design view were bunched up near the top left corner; the missing group didn't appear

Is there a loop that can delete all of the newly created controls? I have 9 controls on the form that need to stay put but everything after those 9 controls I want to delete. Is there something like:
