Evaluate UserForm Control Where Name Is In 1 Cell & Property In Another
Jan 29, 2009
In A1, other code inserts the name of a Form control (textBox, comboBox etc), and in B1 it inserts the name of a Property that is always valid for the A1 control. I want to concatenate these two items to produce a formula in C1 that evaluates the current value of the Property on the running form and continues to update with each recalc. It's ok if I have to force a recalc to get the latest values.
The code feeding the items to A1 and B1 and which will be harvesting the Property values from C1 is running in the same Form that holds the controls being referenced.
So if A1= "Label1" and B1 = "BackColor", then in C1 I'd like the same result as if in VBA I said X = Label1.backcolor. I think that what I need is the Evaluate function, but I've read Arron's article on it I just can't seem to make it work here.
I am trying to set a controlsource property so that when a cell on a worksheeet is changed, the label will also change. However, when I try to set the controlsource I get an error that says :
Could not set the ControlSource property. Invalid property value.
and I've tried it in the properties window of a textbox, and I cannot get either to work. I've also unprotected the sheet first, thinking that might have something to do with it.
I have a userform which uses the tag property of the frame to determine whether a frame is visible (and hence the controls that reside within the frame). A frame contains three combo boxes, and six text boxes. The tag property of the frame matches the number of frames that are visible on the form, so that if the user selects five frames, frames 1 through five become visible and for all other frames visible = false. A frame contains all the data for a single entry. There can be up to fifty frames/ entries that are visible on the form depending on the user selection.
I want to use the visibility property to do two things: first the combo boxes are filled from an array after the user selects the number of frames (or entries). I only want to fill the comboboxes where the frame is visible. The second thing is that I have a function which uses the data from the text boxes and combo boxes as required arguments. Since these are required arguments, I will get a data mismatch error if I try to call it and the controls are empty. Therefore, I only want to call the function if the frame which houses the controls is visible.
Public Sub Visible1(Entry As String) Dim ctrl As Control For Each ctrl In UserForm2.Controls If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag <= Entry Then With ctrl .Visible = True End With Else If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag > Entry Then With ctrl .Visible = False.............
How do I reference a spin button from a variable that I set.
e.g
Dim objSpn As Object Dim y As Integer
Set objSpn = ActiveSheet.Shapes("spnWCDate")
y = objSpn.Value
This doesn't work, but hope it explains what I want. It's so I dont have to write the whole object name each time I reference it.
ADDED: I've just noticed that this doesn't work even i do reference the object with the full name. I copied this from a forms spin control that I was using, why can't i store the value of the spin button in a variable?
This is weird - if you delete a sheet that contained a control then
a. showing a modeless userform resluts in a userofrm that goes invisible at subroutine End b. public variables lose their value
These things do not happen if the sheet did not contain a control. Attached is an example file - put the inputfile.xls in your default file location (or add a path in the code) then open the ProblemDemo.xls and run the main macro to see it fal - isthis another Excelbug I've found?
I have several non-modal userforms in my App, some of them have date-fields that require manual entry typing of dd/mm/yy etc (No single userform has more than one date-box in it, this I think may be pivotally useful)
Now the Userform 'Calendar' that is built on the class of the same (cCalendar) name, has the write value line 'ActiveCell.value = theCal.value'
I'm looking to change this to refer to the correct userform.Textbox value, depending on which form is open.
I would imagine I could simply have a global string, whose value is set (or re-set) whenever a Userform is initialized (some sort of 'ActiveUF.value = Me.Name), where I get lost is referring to the components by name, so as to have a case statement by where I go:
Code:
Private Sub theCal_AfterUpdate() Select Case ActiveUF Case "AddForm" application.vbe.components("AddForm").controls("AddFormDatePicker").value = theCal.value Case "EditForm" '.... etc end select end sub
better way of doing this (instead of passing around the userform name as a variable) - or proper syntax for referring to controls outside of the 'active' userform (but an open userform nonetheless)?
Every time I have to do this particular thing with userforms, I completely forget how, and the object browser always leads me on an infinite loop of Application.vbe.activevbproject.vbcomponents.vbe.active....
PS - there may be one slight complication to the process - one of the forms, has a 2-tab page in it, each page having similar (but named differently) fields. So I may need to be able to throw in 'Activepage' or whatnot
I have a user form called frmAddRepresentative. Under the Initialize event I have the following code.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'This procedure runs when the frmAddRepresentative form 'is initialized. The procedure sets the repInformation 'sheet as the look sheet sends the focus to the combo box 'used to enter the name and updates the combo list
Set WS = calcRepInformation
UpdateComboLists Me.cboRepName.SetFocus
End Sub
I am getting the following error: Could not set the List property. Type mismatch. I have the exact same code on other sheets and it works fine.
I created a form that my employees could use to log their work. When I toggle between the combobox and the qtytextbox I get an "invalid property value" error that debugs to the line of code that opens the userform. I have no idea how to fix this. The spreadsheet has a button that shows the userform. This code is:
Private Sub rectangle1_click() If frmLCWork.Visible = False Then frmLCWork.Show Exit Sub End Sub
The userform has a combobox for employees to select the completed "task", a quantity textbox and then an "add to log" button. The form code is:
Option Explicit Private Sub cmdAdd_Click() Dim sStep As String Dim Row As Long 'check for a task If Trim(Me.cbxTask.Value) = "" Then Me.cbxTask.SetFocus MsgBox "Please specify which task you completed." Exit Sub End If....................
I want to display a string to users. Normally I would do that using message boxes. But that would not give me enough control over the font size, and I want to display using font size 48.
I could have used global variables, but that is not a good coding way. The other way of doing that is using property procedures. I could pass a string variable to a Label control on the form and then could format it.
Within the ComboBox properties, is there anyway to control after "enter" his hit, you move to the right instead of down (similar to the edit under Tools/Options)?
I want to do it evaluate each row and if the last value for that row is X, then highlight that cell and the Server name for that row.
I have used conditional formatting but it seems that I cannot specify an option to look at the last cell in a row, evaluate that cell's value and then apply the formatting. I can only have conditional formatting highlight every cell in that row that matches the condition.
I only want the last cell, which represents the most current data, to be highlighted, as well as the category name, if the condition is met.
I have two sets of information, on one hand I have telephone numbers and in the other set I have prefixes and countries. My goal is to tell to which country each number belongs:
i.e.
Numbers Prefix Country 4476324125 44 UK 3354326544 33 France 9713425432 971 UAE 9143253245 91 India 1343543253 1 USA 4432412412 4924241214 7431242424
So I would need to add a column next to "Numbers" saying to which country each number belongs.
My list has a few thousand numbers and a couple of hundred prefixes. I tried with some array formula, but cannot make it work.
I've a worksheet, which has formulas, links, combo list box and format control.
I've made a user form to enter the data, so that the particular cells in the worksheet is filled and the remaining cells are calculated as per the formula.The format control (combo box) has list of range.
Is it possible to bring this format control (combo box) on the user form, so that without going to the sheet, I Can control the sheet by selecting the combo box values.
I have created a simpel userform that shows sales total and it is activated [.show function] whenever an entry is made in the order column. All of this works fine.
The only problem I have is that the curser jumps in to the text box and doesn't return to the order column where next entry needs to be made.
How do you move the curser out of the userform, back to the activesheet? Ideally it should move to the next cell for the user to make entry.
I am attaching my sample file here. It has some odd things that I was just playing around with as learning experience. But the main question is how to control the curser.
I've got the bare bones of a toolbox control on my userform but I can seem to find anyway to refer to the buttons and control them (I’ve tried using the properties page but it doesn't seem to give me the options I need). I want to be able to add a macro and a picture to the buttons, is this possible?
Eg.
With Userform1.Toolbar1.button("x")
.image/picture/faceid = “x” .action = "macro1"
end with
I've looked for ages on the board but can only find threads on creating toolbars in the application, not on userforms.
Split off from Loop Through ActiveX TextBox Controls On Worksheet. Here is a zip file with the files in it. The main one that I am working on now is PO Form.xls. I want to start with the Qty column and copy any values that are entered into the form to the file called PO.xls in the Qty column of this file.
This code works fine on a normal userform But I declared the userform with "New" in my calling procedure
myForm As New form
How can I get it to work?? Or more interesting, why is it not working Also what exactly is the advantage of using the keyword New I have propertys set in the userform, but other than that.. Can someone tell me if the load function in this case is better or not
Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Sub cmd_click Call blink End Sub
Public Sub Blink() Dim i As Long For i = 1 To 20
' set color Form.cmd.BackColor = &HFFFFFF DoEvents Call Sleep(60)
I have a column in excel and I want to evaluate each cell in that column and if the cell.value = a specified value I would like for it to copy and paste it in the cell to the left. Below is the code I am using but it isn't working.
I want to be able to use a macro to read cells from a certain column so that it will evaluate a text string untill it hits a blank space, then copy the text that it found. I'd like it to work on Excel 2003 or later
I am working an a userform. I want people to add records to the spreadsheet thru the UserForm ONLY, meaning that if they go straight to the spreadsheet they wont be able to edit anything.
I have a project with many textboxes on different forms. On some of the textbox_exits on some of the forms, I call a standard module that checks what the user has input. If the user needs to change the input, a msgbox appears to inform the user the info needs to be changed.
I have tried to use ControlSource, Name etc., But I cannot seem to setfocus back onto which ever textbox the input needs to be changed. I think it has something to do wih the _exit event, but not sure.
I have a user form where two command buttons are set with the following code:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Frame1.Visible = True Frame2.Visible = False
[Code]....
Now, when cmdbtn1 is clicked, frame1 is visible and vice-versa.
However, the position of both the frames on the user form are not on the same position on the user form. Indeed, it takes the position of the design view.
I want a code which will place the frame1 and frame2 at the same place and position on user form, irrespective of its position in the design view.
What I missed. I already added the MS VBA Extensibility 5.3 on a VBA Reference. but still got an error.
Line1: Dim objForm as object Line2: Set objForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1").Designer Line3: Set Butn = objForm.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
The error is on Line3, "Runtime Error '91': Object Variable or With block variable not set".
