I am working with a large legacy file/program which has a lot of issues. Foremost, and unfortunately this cannot be changed, is that all of the controls were placed directly on the worksheets instead of on Userforms. The actual code from the legacy file is excessively complicated, so I created this simple example. Sheet1 has one textbox and one command button. Sheet 2 is blank. I want to be able to click the command button or use the Enter key on the command button, to trigger the Click Event. Clicking works fine. When using Enter, if Sheet2.Activate is commented, everything works fine. If Sheet2.Activate is executed, then Excel crashes.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Dim bBackwards As Boolean
Select Case KeyCode
'Only look for tab, return, down arrow, up arrow
Case vbKeyTab, vbKeyReturn, vbKeyDown, vbKeyUp
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
'Do we need to go back to previous control
bBackwards = CBool(Shift And 1) Or (KeyCode = vbKeyUp)
If bBackwards Then TextBox1.Activate Else CommandButton1.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Dim bBackwards, bForwards As Boolean
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyTab, vbKeyReturn, vbKeyDown, vbKeyUp
Application.ScreenUpdating = False...................

I had previously posted code from the legacy file which may have been excessively complicated. So I edited my post to this simple example. Sheet1 has one textbox and one command button. Sheet 2 is blank.

I have a user entering text into a textbox on my userform. The textbox is linked to a textbox change event. Unfortunately, the event is triggered as soon as the user enters the first character of their entry. I'm thinking that the textbox change event isn't the most appropriate for this scenario. What would I need to do to trigger the code (of the change event) with hitting ENTER when finished?
Usually you press the enter key or any of the arrow key to enter cell information. Is is possible to press a commandbutton to enter the cell information and perform some operations without pressing the enterbutton first?
To refresh a UserForm ListBox when new items are added, I Unload and Show the Userform as part of the procedure.
Code: Private Sub CommandButton4_Click() 'do stuff 'do some more stuff 'do a few more things 'finish doing stuff Unload Me UserForm2.Show This returns the UserForm to its Initialized state and displays the refreshed list.
But, this requires the user to click CommandButton6 to continue adding additional items. If CommandButton4 code could click CommandButton6, the UserForm would Show in its "add item" state...I think. Is there a way to programmatically click a CommandButton?
I've already tried 8,321 ways without success...(OK, maybe only 4 ways)
In my userform, I have a textbox where I enter a number.
When I hit the return key in the textbox, I want the userform to act like I hit a commandbutton_Click. (The commandbutton_Click takes the contents of the textbox and locates a line with that number in it in a specific worksheet, and then displays the line of info in other textboxes in the userform).
I have a chart with 2 Y axis. I am attempting to write some code that will update both axis with the same max & min value that is triggered by the combobox selection. The code will update the axis but is not triggered by the combobox selection.
I have already use excel web query, and set every 5 minutes auto update web. And here is question , I want to use vba event to trigger when cell's value changed.
Unfortunately,
Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
This code didn't trigger successfully,I think that web query make cells value changed didn't trigger the event.
I am experiencing exactly the same problem as described in Textbox Text Increases In Size With Click here, so browse to the following location to view the sample file:
Is it possible, that while running code that the code can say initiate the click event on a command button on another sheet.
Say that I have a button on Sheet1 called "wkscmd_DisplayDEI"
Behind that button is obviously some code. I want to know is it possible that while some code is running ( code does not reside on the module page for Sheet1 that it can send a pseudo click to the button?
When I click on a commandbutton20 on sheet1 it moves the user from sheet1 to sheet2, hides some columns & formats the height of a row in a range of cells I will refer to as Area X. On sheet 2 I have a target condition that if the user clicks on any part of Area X it move the cursor to cell C8. What I want to accomplish is that if commandbutton20 in clicked, the target condition is suspended. otherwise the target condition works. The code I wrote is as follows. What happens when I press F5 to execute it... a macro window pops up.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("a1:x3,e4:x6")) Is Nothing Then If Worksheets(1).CommandButton20_Click() = True Then Exit Sub Else: Range("c8").Select End If End If End Sub
If no program (code) is running and Calculation is turned to ON, what expression could be placed into a cell that will change on its own that could necessarily and periodically trigger a change event subroutine. How can I trigger a change event when nothing is changing?
I have a situation where my code simply stops running so i need a change event to assess whether code is running (or not) and to issue a warning to the programmer that the code is, in fact, stalled. The change event subroutine has not only a warning system but a "timetorun" feature that will come back and warn again until the programmer can address the issue.
Unfortunately, I have to deal with this issue in a check and balance fashion because my many attempts to seek solutions to a stalled program (root cause) have failed.
On my userform I have a frame. Within the frame, there are 6 option buttons. Can I trigger an event when when the user selects a different option button? I was expecting to see a Frame.Change method. But I don't. One solution is to insert code on each of the Option Buttons Change methods.
I have a combobox which is manually scrolled through using the down arrow key. As the different combobox items are viewed, I would like to be able to delete the currently viewed item from the list if desired by clicking on a commandbutton.
The list items are contained in the range of B2:B500. Also, since this places a gap in the list, I would like to shift the remaining cells values in column B up to close the gap.
Is it possible to write an event trigger macro to format cells? Let's say I want to add a new information to the row which is after FinalRow. Can I force excel to detect the input and then format that new row as previous rows or something custom?
I am trying to write a worksheet_selectionchange macro in which the change is initiated only when certain cells are changed (B6:B9 and X9). I do not want the change to be initiated when any other cells on the worksheet change. B6:B9 and X9 are drop down boxes and the values within the drop-down boxes is variable.
I am trying to create a trigger event that opens an email when a particular row is altered. This all worked fine, until I tried to take it a step further and insert information from the spreadhseet into the email aswell.
I receive Argument not optional.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 10 Then Call GenerateEmail(Target.Address) End If End Sub
I have a project report, which is user-configurable, allowing the user to customise the data that is displayed based on a number of parameters.
To ensure the report always prints neatly (the number of visible columns and rows varies, depending on the above parameters), so I have a macro that dynamically sets the print area of the worksheet.
At present, I call the macro from the workbook.beforeprint event, which works fine in terms of printing. Ideally however, I would like the macro to be called when CTRL+P is first pressed - i.e. the resulting 'print screen', containing a preview of the print out should reflect what will subsequently be printed, when the 'Print' button is then pressed.
I am not sure if this makes sense (Excel 2010 and 2013 are different from previous versions).
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?
What is the method to trigger an event on a command button (placed on a worksheet - not in a form) when the return key is pressed? I.e. instead of moving to the next cell clicks the button?
The code handles keydown, keypress events with no problem. Also similar change events, and probably more.
This code is at UF initialize event:
Option Explicit Dim TextBoxes() As New Class1 Dim ComboBoxes() As New Class1
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim TCount As Long, CCount As Long, c As Control TCount = 0 CCount = 0 'Set TabIndexCollection = New Collection For Each c In Me.Controls ' TabIndexCollection.Add c, CStr(c.TabIndex) If TypeOf c Is MSForms.TextBox Then................
I am trying to write some questions on cells of Sheet1 of a workbook. Then I want to write the answers on cells of Sheet2 of the same workbook. I want the user to be able to double click the question-cell on Sheet1 and be taken to the respective answer on Sheet2.
I am creating a spreadsheet that has various form controls, etc... in it and I wanted to create a "help" macro. I have a small Question Mark icon and I want the user to be able to click the icon and have little text boxes appear on the excel sheet with instructions.
I was wondering instead of making a toggle event where the user clicks once to turn on and again to turn off, if there was a way that the user could click and hold on the icon to make my text boxes visible....and when the user releases they disappear.
I have some rows in my sheet locked and some unlocked rows. When user clicks on a unlocked row I should be able to enter some information. I am suppose to populate some dropdowns in that row for him to choose. How can this be done??
I know when a user clicks a row worksheet change event is call. I can write a function in the worksheet change event to populate values in the dropdown. I went through some articles, and they say it can be done by hiding and unhiding rows.
I have a form that allows users to browse for a file so the location can be stored in a cell. When they select a file the form then creates another area so people can browse for another file. (Similar to an attach a file on an email)
The problem I have is that when I create the next button I don't know how to add a _click event to it.
I currently have a set of ListBox controls on a worksheet tab. They are all configured as multi-select and i have the values populated via the ListFillRange properties. Each listbox has an '{All}' option; when the user clicks on this value I want to de-select all other previously selected values. The code for this is straightforward enough, but I cannot get it to fire using the _Click event. Why this is not working?
Additionally, I attempted to use the _Change event but quickly got caught in recursive loops which obviously is not going to cut it.
