Insert Comment Into Userform Upon Entering A Textbox?
Jan 17, 2012
I have a user-form with around 10 text-boxes. Each one of them has labels.
I was wondering if there was any way to add a function similar to the "insert-> comment" available in excel? So that there would be a tiny marker and when the mouse hoovered over it, some text in a comment bubble would be revealed? Or even better that somehow using VBA that each time you enter a text-box a comment would temporarily appear?
For a variety of reasons I can't just add labels with this info. This info would be instructions on what sort of data you should add to the field, and the instructions in some cases will be quite long and the user-form is too big as it is.
I have 2 separate workbooks that are linked together and work in tandem. One is the Master Workbook "Master Business Plan Worksheet For Sale.xlsm" and the other is the one containing all the Menu Items for the business "Menu Items Workbook.xlsm"
I have a Master Recipe Sheet that I created in the Master Workbook and made sure it all works. Now I have copied it to the Menu Items workbook and copied all the Userforms and created Macros for it but I need setting up the references to the other sheet. I have included the code from the first sheet for you to look over. The textboxes all need to populate to the Master Workbook and all the info for the combo boxes are also in the Master Workbook.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 'Populate Measurement combo box. Dim rngMeasurement As Range Dim ws As Worksheet
I'm wondering if it's possible to use a lookup formula to populate cell comments? In other words, I'd like to put a lookup table into a cell, and if the value is not FALSE, have that Lookup table then pull in certain information into the cell's comments.
I have manually shown comments on 2 cells in sheet2 that shows detailed description on how was the total taken.
I need the comment on all the cells from D8 to G11 (not taking the total column) that shows on how was the total taken. When any entry in sheet1 is inserted or deleted the comment in sheet2 should change accordingly.
I also do not want to freeze the cells D8:G11 as when new entries are made or deleted the columns would increase or decrease.
I have data validation and conditional formatting set for my sheets. However, I cannot figure out something.
I want a "comment" box (just as if I would click on "add comment") to pop up automatically if the user enters a certain value in a cell.
For example, if cell C4="1" then no further action is required. If cell C4=anything other than "1", then the user would be required to enter a comment. I would also like the comment to autopopulate with the users login id.
I will attach the book I am working on for reference, but I do not have any code written for this as I could not figure out where to start.
scenario: sheet & work book are protected to users; however need them to sometimes insert a comment to this sheet.
all columns/rows are locked except columns K, R, Y and every 7th column thru CJ (rows are from 4 - 100).
how do I enable a user to insert a comment without unprotecting sheet / WB? note: there's no pattern, it could be any cell within aforementioned columns.
I wanted to make a simple macro forinserting a comment, given certain parameters: margins & alignment...but its not working...how would i get this to function properly
I am a beginner in VBA programming and I have to make a Userform for entering data in the specific places(in a table) in the worksheet. But when I enter a number, it changes all the cells to that number. I can't find my error.
If I have 3 text boxes textbox1, textbox2 and textbox3
I want ot be able to enter a time in textbox1 and then a time in textbox2 and textbox3 would give the difference. i.e. 09:00 17:00 then textbox 3 would calculate 08:00
Then all 3 times would automaically be entered in Sheet1 A1,B1 and C1
Is there a way to auto insert a cell Comment when a particular value is entered and then have the Comment copied to a cell in another worksheet in the same workbook?
The value entered into the cells i want this function to work with is from a Validation list. If the cell's value was to change, for instance the user going back to a cell to change the value for whatever reason, I would like the previous comments to remain and then give the user the choice to edit comment or not.
I've had a look in the Forums using search but nothing close seems to be forthcoming.
I need a nudge in the right direction with how to amend the below code so that it : 1: cycles though all cells in a workbook, and sees whether the text reference of the cell contains a picture filename (i.e. searches for .png or .jpg in the cell contents) 3: if (1) is correct, it retrieves the picture from "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" and pastes it as a cell comment background in the cell to the right (and overwrites any comment backgrounds that might already exist there)
The code below does something a bit different: it looks in a defined range, then adds a comment with a background picture retrieved based on the text in the cell to the left.
I'm sure this is a pretty basic change, but my VBA skills aren't up to it...I've only just started reading though Walkenbach's Power Programming! I'm using Excel 2007
Sub InsertComment() 'www.contextures.comxlcomments03.html Dim rngList As Range Dim c As Range Dim cmt As Comment Dim strPic As String
On Error Resume Next
Set rngList = Range("A1:A5") strPic = "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" On Error Resume Next For Each c In rngList With c.Offset(0, 1)...................
I need a userform textbox event that fires after I tab or click out of the textbox. Going by the list of options:Beforedragover, BeforeDroporPaste, Change, DblClick, DropButtonClick, Error, Keydown, Keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseup.
I can't figure out which one will do what I want. The change event happens instantaneously which doesn't work. I need to fire off the event when my focus leaves the textbox.
I have a table refreshed from a MySQL database that I use to create a report. I can use this data quite well using formulas in the cells.But in order for me to add more information to the report I use without making it cluttered I need to add some data as comments.
I have created a loop that picks up some cell values that I want to use as criteria but I cant work out how to use these variables to search through the table and get the info I require to put in the comment. In a cell I would use offset/match or index/match to get the required cell value but how do I do this in VBA?
I've found many resources that tell me how to allow for the insertion/editing of comments within a protected worksheet. When I protect the worksheet, I can select "Edit objects" to allow anyone to insert comments.
However, my issue is that I'd like the Insert/Edit comment functionality to require a password, and this happens to be the opposite of what those resources instruct. I also want the content in those same cells to be editable by anyone.
I would like to Insert the contents of a Range of Cells into a single Comment. ie: The contents of Range A1:A50 into a Comment placed at F1. Is there a Macro that will do this?
Is it possible to insert text as a comment on another sheet based on a date?
I have Sheet 1, that has 3 columns, Name, Date, Reason
Sheet 2 is a monthly calendar with the dates in E5:AH5 and the names from D6:D10.
What I am trying to do, is when they enter their name, date and reason on sheet 1, I want the reason to to be inserted on sheet 2 as a comment in the cell that matches the date and the name.
I have created an attendance tracker for a team of people at work. It simply involves a grid of the days of the month and on each 'day' (or cell) I have set up the Validation command to prompt the the user to select whether they were at work, on holiday, off sick etc. etc from a drop down box. If they do not change the cell, its defaulted value is that they are in work.
When a user selects the days that they are planning a holiday in the future, they are meant to write a comment on the cells they have changed, to advise when they had 'requested' the holiday.
What I would like is (a macro?) which makes the comment box automatically 'pop up' when they change a cell from its default value prompting them to fill in the details rather than relying on them to 'add comments' manually.
In addition, what would be the best way to 'restrict' them from booking holiday within the next 7 days - we have a problem with people booking holiday on 'lastminute.com' for 2 days time, booking off the holiday on the spreadsheet and saying that they had it planned for weeks!
I'm putting together a userform and all the values and ending up in the correct place except for the two hyperlink cells.
I think it is because I've got the anchor wrong but Im not sure how to correct. I'll put the whole form in so if there is something fundametal going wrong in the early stages I can be put right, but the hyperlink issues are down the bottom at the Offset 16 and 17.
VB: ' Write data to worksheet RowCount = Worksheets("Resources").Range("A2").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count With Worksheets("Resources").Range("A2")
I have a spread sheet that is populated via a Userform. I have arrived at a problem where I don't know how to write the Code so as to Skip Column B i.e.
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F Serial ID List of Activities Owner Environment Planned Start Planned End
1 HQ DLC0001 Campaign Plan HQ DLC 28-Feb-14 18-Jul-14
From the text Box I fill Serial, List of Activity, Owner Environment, Planned Start, Planned End.
Column B - ID - Is a unique ID that is created via a formula.
How can I add a line to the code below so that the User form skips Column B and only places the in putted data into Columns A, C, D, E and F.
VB: Option Explicit Dim id As Integer, i As Integer, j As Integer, flag As Boolean
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
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.
I tried looking for everywhere, but i still cant seem to find the solution.. I have an Active X textbox on a worksheet, and I need it's value to show up on a textbox on my userform, that shows up through a command button on that worksheet. I'm fairly new to vba.
I have a combobox that is referenced to a named list 'ListReels'. There are only 8 choices (Reels 1 -8), and each has an accompanying worksheet in the workbook. The user selects a reel, then inputs other information. When an 'Enter' command button is clicked, I had like the data to be entered onto the next available row of the worksheet with the same reel name (eg, if reel 2 is selected from the combobox, then the data should be added to the Reel 2 worksheet on the next blank row.
I am trying to copy data from a Textbox in a Userform to a Textbox in another Userform. Is it possible?
In Userform1 I have a button from which I can open Userform2 keeping the Userform1 opened. When closing Userform2 I want to copy the data from TextBox2 in Userform2 to TextBox1 in Userform1.
I was trying to guess the code... but it is not working...:
