How To Find Current Cursor Mouse Pointer On Worksheet Or Screen
Nov 22, 2012
I know you can see it but If set to default when the mouse moves over an object it changes to that object's cursor. Access had a screen property that may have detected this change. Excel Examples On the worksheet the cursor is a cross If on a worksheet you have a shape with a macro the pointer changes to a hand On a shape without a macro the pointer is 6
HOW do you use vba excel to find its current number or send a message when it changes or peek message to notify when it changes
Can I use a custom curosr instead of the default cursor/pointer in excel? I want to use a small dot... my cells are pretty small, and when I put the cursor on top of the cell, I can't see the contents of the cell.
trying to find the value of column A (date field) if it exists on the row that the cursor is presently on. I'm trying to check for the value before performing the next function to make sure the user is on a valid row. Cursor could be on any column A to F. Columns are always 6 but the rows can vary.
I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly.
The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer.
My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.
I would like to change the mouse cursor when the pointer passes over (without clicking) some cells which have double-click-event script attached.
I know how to change the cursor with a custom one. The pb is for me to identifie that the pointer is over the cell so as to launch the cursor change macro (and reverse when going over another cell). Excel does that, for ex, with commented cells but can VBA do it also?
how to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?
it would be possible to have text disappear after being displayed in Excel for a while.
My son and I played around with games (helping create a photographic memory, I told the youngster!) on the thing and until yesterday neither of us noticed that clicking the mouse anywhere (actually just clicking it) causes the screen to "freeze" while the code still happily erases the text in the background.
Hitting ESC allows the screen to cath up to the actual code EVEN THOUGH the ESC key is actually disabled from breaking the code.
The user has multiple Excel documents available [which all contain this macro, as they were generated from the same template by a third-party software (LabView)].
The user is already working on a Word document, typing text until he decides that he wants to add some information from one of the Excel sheets. To do this, he changes to Excel, clicks on the button running the script, and the required information is pasted into the Word document at the present cursor position.
I am working with a VBA userform and several textbox's, setting SetFocus and or TabIndex doesn't leave the box ready to accept input and there is no cursor shown to indicate it is ready to accept input.
I am having problems with an Excel workbook I am working on. I have a sheet that has a number of controls added to the top of it. Two of these controls are listboxes. My problem is, if I am in the listbox navigating through it, and I accidently move the Mouse Wheel, Excel crashes and I get the usual, "Send Error Report" form.
I have seen that there are other people having this problem and that there are a number of solutions out there but my problem is a bit different. I have a few forms with listboxes on them, and while mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work, it certainly doesn't crash Excel. It only seems to happen when I have a control permanently added to the sheet. Is there any event handler for mouse wheel scrolls or anyway to disable them through VB?
I am trying to do is create a button that when pressed, will bring up the Find screen (which can be brought up by pushing ctrl + f)...I tried to record it as a macro but nothing came up.
Private Sub Zero() If Range("G8").Value = "" Then Range("G8").Value = "0" End If End Sub
I have this listed in as code for VBA. If I hit the "Run Sub/User Form" button on that screen, with the field G8 having nothing in it (having hit "Delete" just prior), it resets the field to "0".
But when I hit delete on the worksheet, the field just sits there......no zero, no nothing.
I have a worksheet with 30,000 rows. But sometimes even if I have fewer records in this worksheet(lets say 1000) worksheet shows the same 30,000 rows.And its annoying when you try to navigate using vertical scroll bar. Is there any option to re-adjust the worksheet to make it more user friendly based on number of rows in current sheet.
In cell A1, I have the month number (eg, 1, 2, 3,). The month number reflects current month and will automatically change with every month. For example, right now it’s 6, next month it will automatically change to 7. Each two columns in Range A10:X20 represents the data from January to December. I want to use a worksheet event to change the background of the current month two columns in the range to yellow color and the two columns in the range will be visible when I activate this sheet.
However, that the underlying code is probably the most direct route to getting at the issue. So i am asking the question "how can I identify the vba pointer position when the program stalls"? It would seem that this process would determine the offending code or the need for better code.
See attached sample sheet for more detail. I used code for show date and user id in cell “H” and “I”, but my problem is when ever I write some thing between cells “A” to “G” and enter the pointer automatically jumped to cell “H”, I want when I enter the pointer should be stay next cell.
I want to be able to use this for others in the organisation and make it a simple as possible
Is there a way to use the cell contents in the path name (without opening the sheet first)
I know I can point to each cell in the other file and excel will use it but there must be a way of making this happen more automated by using the cell contents
i have a table with a row of dates along the top. beneath each date is a value. the dates and values in these cells changes based on info in other sheets.
i need a way of finding the first date in the current month and returning the corresponding value.
Is there a formula to get the Name of the current Worksheet and place it in a Cell? I have a Macro that will create a list of all of the worsheets within a workbook, but it requires indexing through all worksheets. I have not found the command that returns the name of the active worksheet.
I have a spreadsheet of our Customers rankings with a column with the date that they sent their Report Cards in. I need to pull by Cust# the most current date. I tried using DMAX but I can not get the formula to work. The sheet is not sorted and can not be sorted by Cust#.
=DMAX(A$6:D$886,"Report dated",G$6:G7)

I have created a simple command button for tallying that will increase the count in the output cell by one every time it is clicked. It has basic code like this:
Private Sub ProductRegistration_Click() [D4] = [D4] + 1 End Sub
On top of that, I want the output cell of this command button to switch every day. In this case, it would move to E4 tomorrow. The columns are dated but I can't figure out how to get the output cell to automatically change with the system date so I don't have to manually change it every day.
