I've found the code below and tweaked to suit my needs but having trouble. Had it working one time. The code below calls a userform when the user double clicks on a cell. The form pops up and is not active/enabled. I cannot select anything on the form until I select a cell on the sheet, then everything on form becomes active/enabled.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'check cells for desired format to trigger the frmSel_WBS.show routine
'otherwise exit the sub
Dim NumberFormat, DF
NumberFormat = Array("[Blue]General")
For Each DF In NumberFormat
If DF = Target.NumberFormat Then
frmSel_WBS.Show vbModeless
End If
Next
End Sub
following on from previous post (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...g-up-form.html) what if the selected cell is a merged cell (cell count is greateer than 1), what is the best solution to enable double click event on merged cell ?
I have spreadsheet with client names. I'd like to build logic that will open a form with client information when a user double-clicks on the client name. But I have a couple of problems.
- First, I'd like to protect the sheet and hide the formulas. But when I protect the sheet, I get the "the cell or chart you are trying to change is protected" error when I double click the protected cell.
- If I deselect the "Select Locked Cells" options when I protect the sheet, I no longer have the ability to double-click on the cell.
how I can double click on a cell yet not allow the user to edit the cell (or see the formula)?
I have a userform that has a listbox that contains data in 7 columns. I also have a command button that when clicked allows the user to edit the data in whatever row of the list box is highlighted. This works fine.
I decided to have a double click in the listbox on a row do the same thing. So I simply picked the double click event and called the command button sub. When I try this, it runs the command button sub, but then it runs the userform Activate sub. This is a problem as it does things that I do not want to occur again.
I then decided to put the command buttom code in a separate sub and then call that sub on the double click -- same result.
Then I just put the exact code that I have in the command button into the double click event -- still does it.
Anyone know why this happens, I see no reason for it. It works great in the command button, but with double-click it run the userform Activate sub when it is done.
Here is the code that runs (if called by a command button it works fine, if called by a double_click in the listbox, it runs the userform_activate sub):
i've got a form that shows employee data in labels, and i'd like the user to be able to double click a label to change it (using a pop-up form). is it possible to get the pop-up to show after a double click instead of a single click?
I have a worksheet in whichs Column A Cells , there is corresponding string content in Col. Z. Some cells of column Z contain of many lines (up to 100 line) which i want to reduce to one. I want to select one line through double clicking in the listbox of the userform and all other lines should be deleted and only the clicked one should remain. Code should then jump to the next non empty Z cell.
Columns B, C, D, E, F, G and H should also be shown in the userform and they should be live editable. I have attached and example file with userform and example data.
I am trying to create a data entry sheet to enter quotes on. When a quote is received, I click on my "Add quote" button and a userform appears. Data is entered into the userform (frmEntryForm) and returned back to the next available row.
I also need to be able to:
Edit a row by double-clicking it. When a row is double-clicked, data from that row is passed back to the userform, edited and returned back to the same row (to prevent duplicates).Validate that all fields are complete within the userform where relevant (i.e. if the work is not complete or in progress then the "Invoice Number" and "Actual Cost" fields are disabled and blanked to prevent entry (I think this is almost sorted judging by my tests)
I have attached my sheet : 2014 Gatwick Quote Log (Macro Enabled).xlsm
I am trying to run a macro when I double click on a certain cell (D34). The cell has data in it (Southeast NSC). What I am expecting to happen is once I double click on the cell the macro will run the retrieve and I will end up at expense chart page.
The macro I am trying to run is an Essbase retrieve.
I want to be able to double click on a cell in a column. If it has a certain word in it, it will take it to that worksheet. Auto filters are used so these cells can move in a column at any time. This is why I am looking for a code to validate the contents in the cell first.
ie. Cell has the word: BSALT, when double clicked it will take it to the BSALT worksheet.
Cell has the word MLW, when double clicked it will take it to the MLW worksheet.
And so on.
These values are in one column only. If they weren't able to be autofiltered i could do it, but the mere fact that they can move around is giving me trouble.
Normally when I double click on a cell with a formula linked to another spreadsheet, the double click takes you to the source. However, if the cell also has a comment, the double click takes you into the edit comment option and not to the source.
Is it possible to turn off the edit comment option from the double click?
I have a list of numbers in column B of one sheet.
these numbers are unique and randomly allocated to other sheets in the workbook.
i would like a macro which when a user double clicks on a cell in the list of numbers .. the macro will jump to the sheet containing that number.. (i.e. do something like the find function)...
I have some code below which might be useful for you but I can't work out what I need to write.
I'm trying to do is create a link so that if you double click on a cell in a range (Sheet1!A3:A100) it will copy the value (ie Sheet1!A6) and paste it to the next sheet in a fixed cell (sheet2!B2).
The reason is I want to use the next sheet to do Vlookups (or may just do it in a macro) to fill in a template.
I am looking for assisitance in combining the functionality of two seperate combo box code sets. The first combo box code set allows the combo box to automaticially appear when a user Clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. The second set of code will have a combo box appear when a user Double-clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. And the code allows for Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet. I would like to have the functionality of having the combo box to appear when a user Clicks on a cell and not having to Double-click. Also, I would like to have the option to use Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet ("Validation Lists").
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim str As String Dim cboTemp As OLEObject Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = ActiveSheet On Error Goto errHandler If Target.Count > 1 Then Goto exitHandler Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("TempCombo") On Error Resume Next If cboTemp.Visible = True Then With cboTemp .Top = 10 .Left = 10 .ListFillRange = "" .LinkedCell = "" .Visible = False .Value = "" End With End If................
I am trying to make it so that when you double-click in a cell in column A, a message box opens populated with the text string in the corresponding cell (same row) in column Z. Seems to me like it should be easy enough, but despite spending the last hour searching for clues, I can't seem to figure it out.
I have made a toggle button to turn diagonal borders on and off in a single cell. Is there a way to make the button transparent, such that the button can be placed over the cell itself and the contents of the cell will be visible underneath, no matter the condition of the toggle?
I'm trying to double-click a cell to edit the contents, and I am off a few pixels, it treats the double-click as a double-click on the cell border, not the cell contents, and the focus jumps to another cell in the direction of the border instead of going into edit mode. The effect is as if I had pressed Ctrl and the arrow in the direction of the border I clicked on.
The only way I've found to disable this is to turn off the option "Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop", but unchecking that also disables actually useful things, like dragging the corner of a formula call to copy it down, etc.
Is there a good way to disable this cell jumping when I accidentally double-click a cell border?
if there is a workaround to this issue. I have this code that transfers data to a textbox but it stops after hitting the character limit. Does anyone know how to extend this limit ?
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True With Me.Shapes("textbox1").TextFrame.Characters .Text = .Text & Target.Value End With End Sub
I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.
How to run some VBA code only when double click any cell of three different columns (say A, G,H) and not run in any other cell. This is being run in Excel 2007.
I would like to be able to track progress of various tasks/occurences by allowing users of a spreadsheet to just click in the appropriate column and in doing so, it would fill in the current time and date. I.E. Column headings would read, "Item Sent to Review", "Item Received From Review", "Item Sent to Specialist", etc. and I want users to be able to double click in a given column to populate with current date/time information,
Upon clicking any cell in Sheet1, it will automatically filter based on cell A and B.
Sheet2
Automaticall display filtered criteria based on double click from Sheet1
For example: when I double click on C1, on Sheet2 will automatically diplay filtered data based on A1 and B1 and same thing goes to if I double clik on C2 on Sheet2 will automatically diplay filtered data based on A1 and B2.
I am trying to launch the userforms with the below codes during startup(that is when you click the excel file, the userform will automatically pop up). Please, Can somebody guide me through ? Compare_Map is a subroutine which is to be called when optionbutton3 is being selected.
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click() Call Compare_Map Exit Sub End Sub
Is there a way to minimize Excel when a userform is launched, so just the userform is showing? I've tried using "Application.WindowState = xlMinimized" in the UserForm initialization procedure, but it minimizes both the workbook/application and the UserForm. I can click on the Excel window on the taskbar and just the UserForm will display--which is the goal--but I'm hoping there's a way to do it automatically without needing to click the taskbar icon after it's minimized.
I want to launch userform A when the user hits the command button on userform B, I already have a macro set up to launch UserForm A and tried adding it to the code but it doesn't work.
I have created a userform, (my first one)-very simple form, i have created a massive textbox, so when i doubleclick a cell in Sheet 1, userform pops up and I can write comments.
I am not sure how to write a code for this? I know it will have Private Sub Doubleclick, not sure on the rest?
