Highlight Portion Of Text Of TextBox

Mar 27, 2008

The following code highlights part of the time (hours or minutes) that will be modified by a spin button. The code works fine (although maybe a more efficient way). Each time you click in the time it will highlight the hours or the minutes, depending on where you click. When you click on the spin button the control loses the focus so becomes un-highlighted. I thought that just setting the focus back to the text box would work but what I am getting now is it highlights on every other click of the spin button.

Private Sub spnTime_Change()
Dim dtTime As Date
Dim y As Integer
If strTimeChange = "" Then
MsgBox "Please click on a time to modify it"
Exit Sub
End If
dtTime = Format(ctlText, "hh:mm")
y = Me.spnTime.Value...............

Highlight Mandatory Empty TextBox Controls

Jun 6, 2008

I have the below code that I am using to find an empty textbox with the name FirstName. All it does is place the cursor in the FirstName text box if the textbox is empty, but doesn't really make it stand out. I was hoping to find a way to color the background of the textbox pink, or have it set up so it would stand out somehow.

Highlight Matching String In Listbox Based On Textbox Value

Jun 26, 2014

I thought I would get this on my own, but I digress.

I received sample code to populate a listbox from tab names of a workbook, yay!

What I have attempted is to use a user form, enter a string in a textbox and if it match's any string in the list box, then highlight.

Basically, its a simple search engine.

Adding Text From One Userform Textbox To Another Textbox

Oct 12, 2011

Code:
Private Sub cmdSearchButton_Click()
Dim txtbox As String 'stores lookup value
Dim x As Variant 'value for wwid txt box
Dim ForeName As String
Dim SurName As String
Dim wwid As Variant
Dim iPosition As Integer

[Code] .......

Here is my code, it does a vlookup and if the persons name is not found it will split the text entered into forename and surname but when i try and add

Code:
frmAdd.txtForename.Text = "&ForeName &"
frmAdd.txtSurname.Text = "&SureName &"

It actually displays &ForeName & in the text box of the next from rather than what ForeName is..

eg. John Smith -> search button -> user not found msg -> user wants to add user -> string is split into forename and surname -> forename = John , surname = Smith -> display this in the second form.

What code should i be using to do this, i thought that &ForeName & would work.

Highlight Specific Text Within A Cell Of Other Text

Jun 19, 2009

This is the text:

Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts. Test various equipment - hands, aprons, sleeves, hats, etc.

What I need is for "Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts." to be bold and highlighted in gray, but none of the other text. Conditional formatting highlights the entire cell, which won't work.

Find And Highlight Text ...

Oct 10, 2007

Each cell in Range AL3..AL50000 have text (sentence - description of problem).

Cell AL1 has my search word (i.e. loose)

I would like to search range AL3..AL5000 for word "Loose" - if found highlight every cell where was found - Yellow.

If AL1 is empty - remove all highlights.

Here is what I have so far (patches of codes found in this forum)

Sub FindTextInCell()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim myText As String

myText = Sheets("detail_report").Range("AL1").Value

If myText = "" Then Exit Sub

Set Found = Range("AK2..AK56000").Find(What:=myText, LookIn:=xlValues, lookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False)

If Not Found Is Nothing Then

Found.Interior.ColorIndex = 36

End If
End Sub

My code highlights only first found cell and if I type any other search word - highlight from the 1st search does not get removed.

Formatting TextBox And Check Which TextBox Is The Active TextBox In The Loop

May 18, 2006

I am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")

If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!

Search Row By Column Value And Highlight Text - For Each Row

Jul 8, 2014

I've got a large Excel table that's full of names and e-mail addresses - it's a report of e-mails that merges some data from two systems we use; a registration form and a database. We want to clean up the data so it only lists folks who 'registered' (it's not always BOTH people listed - sometimes it's only one!) - and the best way to do that is to take the information from a specific column in each row, see if it exists elsewhere in the row and clear the information that doesn't match.

For example:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com -------- Jane -------- Smith --------- js@email.com ------ John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------Jim----------Samename ----jsn@email.com-------Rich
Mary-----------Ladyface ------ms@email.com--------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve

Ideally, for each row I'd like to search A and D for the string from column G. If it finds it, the cell and the two cells to the right are fine - but everything else is 'cleared' (not deleted).

So the above table would look like:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com --------------------------------------------------------------- John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------------------------------------------------------------Rich
-------------------------- -------------------------------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve

Highlight Rows That Share Text Across Columns

Feb 15, 2013

I am wondering how I can highlight rows that contain the same text across selected columns (not all). For example, consider the following table:

ID#6527
Jay
yellow
dog

[Code]...

I want to focus on Columns B, C, and D. I would like rows 3 and 5 to be highlighted, since they share the same text across the target columns. I assume this can be done via a formula in Conditional Formatting, but I'm not sure.

Formula To Highlight Text Within A Cell Which Also Has Numbers

Jun 28, 2006

I have attached a file which shows some cells which start with "p" and then a number and some have the same but with the word " total" in them.

I would like to run a formula in the column next to it which will highlight which cells have that word in order that I can data sort a large file and delete the totals.

Highlight Matching Cells Based On Manual Text?

Mar 9, 2013

I have a list of names in Column B (Starting at B5) with assignments to them in Column A. I want the people who receive the file, to enter their name in B1 exactly as it appears multiple times in sheet. And hope to use conditional formatting to highlight (change the back ground color) of each cell their name appears in.

I've used a number of formulas in the Conditional formatting including "=(ISNUMBER(MATCH($B5:$B100,$B$1,0)))", Countif's and "Not(isnumber)..." but can't find a formula that picks up the whole text.
