How To Display A Gif File In A Dialog Box Using An Image Control
Jan 11, 2010
my code brings up an empty dialog box.
The file I am trying to view is saved as follows: C: Test.gif
What I have done.Added a image control to a dialog box, called image1
Added the following event handler to image1:
x = c: test.gif
Image1.picture = loadpicture (X)Pressed F5 to test the code and brings up a dialog box with a blank image box.
Not called the userform in the main module (didn't seem much point considering the test failed)
My questions
where I am going wrong with this, the correct code?
Also in inputting the address of the file I could not use the C: format as this brought up an error. What is the correct format?
complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.
Public Sub Report_Test()
Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim strURL As String Dim varItem As Variant
' Establish connection to the Internet Explorer application. Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
' Set Internet Explorer visible. objIE.Visible = True
My workbook simply has multiple columns of data which will be summarized visually in a tag cloud (I have the tag cloud part taken care of already creating either a jpg or png, I simply have to change the extension within a batch file to change between picture formats)
I need to have the tag cloud image display and update depending on which column the user would like to summarize (for now I have simplified the issue by only having one of the data columns in my workbook, and will worry about the user selection of the data column to be summarized later).
My Main Question:
Focusing on the image display and updating now, whether it be an ActiveX Image Control or any other way. I've been playing around manually before I try and code it and I can not get either a jpg or png file to attach to the ActiveX control (both of which cause an Invalid Picture Message).
The file name can stay the same if need be and for now I think/assume that'd be easiest (I have my Tag cloud generator just replacing the previously existing image file of the same name).
Would ActiveX control be the way to go for this dynamically changing image?
I have a number of image controls on a user form, each being loaded with an image from file.
Image1 being loaded with a picture of a bus image2 being loaded with a picture of a school
And so on
Now what I am trying to do is when that image is clicked the name of that image is passed to a textbox
So the action would be
1 image of bus loaded into image control1 , the name of that image being bus.jpg 2 image is clicked 3 the name bus.jpg appears in a text box
Here is what I have so far
Code:
Private Sub Image1_Click() DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value = bus.jpg
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value= Image1.Name - this does not work
End Sub
Which works but as you can see this is static, as I have supplied the value , were as I would like the clicking action to pick up the name of the jpeg being displayed
So expanding upon this if say image1 is loaded with say a picture of a car instead of a bus
LValue4 = "E:Car.jpg"
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(LValue4)
Now when it is clicked the name of the image being displayed in image control1 would be Car.jpg
And it is this value I wish to transfer to a text box for now will do more with it later
In addition to this I am not sure if the best idea is to have a number of image controls and load each with an individual picture or have one image control and swap the picture by clicking a command button
I need to link an image to a cell value and display the selected image in a new sheet of the same excel. I am attaching samplefile for easy reference. The requirement is, from the workout sheet when I select from drop down list, then the corresponding cell value appears in Parameter sheet in C9 cell.
There are four images copied in Parameter excel. The given image has to be selected and linked to the C9 cell value. Based on the selection that particular image should be shown on Sample Picture sheet. Here based on the selection only the image should reflect here.
I am trying to display an image ("image") on an image control ("Image1") placed in a worksheet ("Sheet1"). The problem is that I want this action to take place when I press a button in a user form. I am trying to use the following code, but it seems that VBA does not recognize the image control ("Image1") in the worksheet.
Private Sub cmdDisplayImage_Click() Dim image As Variant image = ThisWorkbook.Path & "sun.jpg" Sheets("Sheet1").Activate Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(image) End Sub
Is there a way to have image box display an image with a name matching data from a cell? example: if I type "hello" in cell a1, Image box will load image named "hello". And display new images by changing the name in cell a1. Note: the images will be located in a permanent folder.
I have a spreadsheet that automatically opens a dialog box when the workbook is opened. This is a little disclaimer intended for other users of the spreadsheet, which if they click ok it simply closes the dialog sheet, but if they click cancel I want it to kick them out of the Workbook without asking them to save changes. I only want it to close that specific workbook incase they have others open that they haven't saved, etc.
The dialog box is opened as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() DialogSheets("Splash Screen").Show End Sub
The code I have tried for the closing of the workbook is done by assigning the following macro to the cancel button (note, all but one of the sheets in my workbook is hidden and protected, including the dialog sheet):
Sub Splash_Close() ' ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False ' 'Also tried ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False 'Application.Quit (This closes all excel documents) ' End Sub
I know there is something I am missing, keeping in mind I am quite experienced with excel, but relatively new to macros and VB programming.
Just a bit extra on this problem. I am creating the file as a template *.xlt, and the error I get when trying to run the example macro I gave at the start is a 1004 error Method close of object _workbook failed.
Also, in an ineresting (baffling for me at the moment) twist is that once you hit end on the error and it just goes to the first page of your spreadsheet, you can then go to ToolsMacros and run the macro from there, and it closes the workbook exactly the way I want it to!
I'm so close. I'm trying to use Excel VBA to control a dialog box spawned from another application (in this case MS Word). The code below will obtain the window handle of the "Save As" dialog, and the SendMessage command will return the text length of the window name. This proves I can identify and communicate with the window, but I don't know how to provide a filename and click the save button. I can't find the SendMessage parameters needed to perform these actions.
VB:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _ (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, _ ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

I know how to load a picture onto an image control using VBA code, but how do I clear the picture? (NOTE: I am not talking about using the properties window in the VBE, I am talking about coding in VB)
When a user tries to save a workbook I want the workbook to display the Save As dialog box. This will ensure that the template is not accidentally tempered with.
I am able to work out a code to upload pictures from my files using this:
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdfind_Click() Application. ScreenUpdating = False Dim strfind As String Dim rsearch As Range Dim strfolder As String Dim strname As String Dim strpic As String Dim b As Range Set rsearch = Worksheets("m").Range("ap3", Range("ap65536").End(xlUp)) 'define path to images strfolder = "F:SEC FILESMAC2PIC" 'get data from userform strname = frmsearch.txt201.Value 'check if pic exists strpic = strfolder & strname & ".jpg".......................
How do i avoid the 'File Not Found' error if the picture is not available in my file folder?
i have a textbox on top of a picture box but i cannot replicate it with a new textbox or combobox. when i place the control on the picture box it disapears?
I want to delete a picture from an image control in a worksheet when pressing a button. So my code is:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Sheets("Sheet1").Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("") End Sub
Well, the problem is that this code only works when I create it. If I save and close the excel file when I open it again and I press the CommandButton1 I get the following error: Run-time error '-2147417848(80010108)' Method "Picture of object "IImage" failed.
I would like to have a dialog box "popup" if the value of two cells do NOT equal.
cell C11 has net sales values for the day, including cash, checks, and credit cards. After sub total of these values, I subtract any charges(voids) and get a total(c11). I enter a sales(c12), tax(c13), no tax(C14), misc. amounts(C15 & C16) ,reductions(c21) and put the total in Cell C22 with the formula =Sum(c12:c16)-c21). Because I do not want the formula overwritten, I protect the sheet including the amounts in cell c11 and c22. If they do "Not" match I would like a dialog box to appear so the error can be corrected.
How can i paste a picture from a workbook to my userform image control? Without having to create loads of code for this to be done? Ive tried something like this
[Code] .....
And cant get anywhere near doing what i want it to do.
I have a worksheet that contains a number of ActiveX image controls, which have been scaled to a uniform height to serve as thumbnails.
I have also created a class, where each instance is initialized with one of these image controls, and events (specifically the on click event) are captured. When the user clicks the picture, it opens a userform containg the same picture. However, I'd like that picture to be at its original size, not the scaled-down size.
how can I determine the original dimensions of a picture used in an image control? I can tell that the original resolution is there (by changing the PictureSizeMode to clip), but I can't find any properties that show me how big that image actually is, only ones that return or set the size of the object itself.
I have an image box on a userform in Excel VB. Is there ANY WAY to load an image into this image box from an object that I have loaded into an excel worksheet something like
If userform1.checkbox1=True Then userform1.image.picture = loadpicture (Worksheets("Sheet1").shapes("Object 1")) ElseIf userform1.checkbox2=True Then userform1.image.picture = loadpicture (Worksheets("Sheet1").shapes("Object 2")) Else msgbox "No image" Endif
I'm trying to writ a small user form with a text box, buttom and image container. The idea is when I type a sign number and click the button the form add the sign number to the address path of the folder containing the images and set the image containers picture to the corisponding file .. this is what I've done so far but I cant get it to work -
I have a code that generates a URL for an image (on the internet, not on the local machine) and I would like that picture to be displayed within a userform (preferably at it's original resolution).
I am trying to add a feature to an excel spreadsheet that will display image files (map files, .emf if possible), whenever its respective cell is clicked. I have a reasonable amount of experience with macros, although it was purely in excel which completely limits my vba skills. I could probably figure something out if I spent a few weeks on it and then it would probably be like 90 mb and slow.
Is there a way to insert a reference image thumbnail into my worksheet? I've tried inserting images/pictures directly, however these are duplicate copies of the originals from my system folder. C:/my documents/my pictures. I have about a hundred small images in this folder which are continually updated. (ie: the image changes) I would need this update to be reflected in excel as well.
I have two bitmap images, and I would like to show only one image at a time, based on the content of another cell's pull-down list. If the user selects "AIR", then display the AIR image. If the user selects "SERVO", then display the SERVO image.
