Listbox Selected Item Not Getting Properly Highlighted
Mar 6, 2013
It seems that when reloading a listbox (in my case in ppt, but triggered from vba in excel) the ppt application (office 2010) was not highlighting the selected row in the listbox, and was infact also losing the selected row information when the item lost focus.
indication in excel that new data is to be displayed
triggers macro in ppt to fetch data and update:-
1. select the userform and listbox
2. fetch the data from excel worksheet range into a local array
3. save locally the current selected index in the listbox
4. reload the data into the listbox and adjust column widths
5. relocate the old selected item, and set the new selected index
Summary of key Code lines which did not work:

Code which worked fine:

So in summary, if you get problems with listbox selected items not being highlighted, double check you are not re-defining column widths after loading the data into the list.....
I have 1 macro that i would like to be activated as soon as i select any item from a form control listbox (doesn't matter which item). i am not using an active X control but rather a form control.
I have a userform that search for a value in column A, it displays the results in the listbox. Example: Search for value "111" and it brings me back the following results back in the listbox "111 David 35". So this means 3 columns matching data is returned.
I want the following to happen if I double click on the item in the listbox it needs to update the value selected in the worksheet eg. strikethrough the row on the sheet to show item has been selected/done.
How do I populate a new userform from an entry selected in the listbox. The listbox only lists one item from the original table but I'd like to populate the new userform with related information from the same row.
I'd then like to save this information to a new sheet and store the original information on another sheet leaving the first sheet a table of information yet to be updated.
The attached workbook should make things clearer. The update button is the one in question.
Hope this is fairly easy to solve. I have Screen #1 with a listbox with a CLICK event. The event populates a combobox below (with items based on listbox's selection). Listbox is NOT multi-select. Code runs fine manually, i.e., user opens screen selects from listbox, then can select from combobox.
I now what to open and make selections from another form/screen, Screen #2. I've written code to select the proper item from Screen #2's listbox but this does NOT trigger the listbox's CLICK event for me so the combobox isn't populated so I can then make that selection from Screen #1, also. I've tried setting focus to listbox first, then making selection, but that doesn't work.
QUESTION: Is there code that selects from a listbox in a way that mimics the user clicking the selected item in the listbox?
The alternatives I can think of are: 1) Change Screen #2's listbox code from CLICK to CHANGE event, but I'd rather not. 2) Move CLICK event code to sub-procedure and then call from both listbox CLICK and Screen #2 code 3) Some sendkey string like ENTER?
Would be easier to just mimic the user click, if possible.
With frm_Screen2 'Select item type from listbox With .LBox_Items
VB: 'enables user to click [U]highlight and select[/U] an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item (same row in index) is also [U]highlighted[/U] (highlighted only not selected) Private Sub ListBox1_Click() ListBox2.ListIndex = ListBox1.ListIndex End Sub
Question: Is it also possible to enable a user to click to select an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item is also selected simultaneously (same row in index). Is there excel vb code to do this?
I think the code may be along the lines of the ListBox SelectedIndex property. What would be the Excel VB code equivilant for the ListBox SelectedIndex property, if so?
I am getting close to finishing the drop down menu capability when filling in column L in tab Transactions. However, there is a snag. When I enter part of account say "fin" (the important part here is that the part of the word should not be the beginning of the account name) - then I select an account from the menu - but it does not stay in the cell if the part of the name is the beginning of the account name - all is fine.
I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB: Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB: If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
I'm trying to add an item to a list box in alphabetical order.
Adding them at the end is easy, but is there an easy way to add an item part-way through a list?
THis is what I have so far..
Code: 'goes somewhere else For Count = 0 To lstEmployees.ListCount - 1 If cmbAmendmentsEmployees.List(cmbAmendmentsEmployees.ListIndex, 0) < lstEmployees.List(Count) Then
within the userform contacts, when mouse-over the image two buttons are shown.
I want when one of these buttons are it displays the next image. the names of all images for the contact are loaded in userform1 listbox. also change the name of the label1.caption.
The part im having trouble with is knowing where the current picture name is loacated within the listbox.
on a side note, if insted of using a picture object i use a activex picture viewer thing. Can i play movies within the same object as being used for the pictures.
How do I select the first item in a listbox via code (userform).
Scenerio: A user starts with listbox3 and makes a selection for a font type. If the font selected doesnt exist on there system (code already taken care of, true or false) I want to automatically set the font to the first item in listbox3 as a default value transparently so the user can continue.
I have an excel column that includes many numbers. I want to add them to the listbox. But there are same numbers in the list. What I want to do is to add each number to the listbox only once. Example:
This is what I have__________________This is what I want 622768____________________________622768 622768____________________________631215 622768____________________________635054 631215____________________________647461 631215____________________________681216 635054
I have created a form, with a textbox and a listbox, that loads when the workbook opens.
As the listbox is the 2nd field on the form, I'd like for the 1st item in the listbox to be highlighted once the user tabs to this field from the textbox field, in the event that the 1st item is actually the item the user wants to select. Currently, once you tab to the listbox field, the listbox item has a dotted line around it (forgive my not knowing the correct term to use for this; I would guess the item has focus at this point, it's just not selected), but the item is not actually highlighted. If I use the arrow keys to scroll up or down, then the first item can ultimately actually be highlighted.
I've search this message board, but was unable to come up with a solution. I assume I must not have been using the best search terms.
Currently (a part of) the form's code is:
Dim txtbox_EmplName As String Dim lbox_Div As String form_TERdata.txtbox_EmplName.SetFocus
I'm certain this must be simple, but I haven't been able to find a solution. What code would I need to add or change, and where?
I have a worksheet and for data validation, i do have a dropdown. This is working fine.
I am now trying to create a userform. And I feel for data integrity, I should be using a listbox on the form as well.
I have found examples of different ways to load the list, so I don't think this part will be an issue. But what I cannot find, is if the worksheet row currently has a value (say it is the third item on the list), how do I show THAT on my form?
Example, say we have a list of 10 cities. Orlando Tampa San Francisco London Athens Paris Chicago Cairo Seattle Atlanta
My wordsheet has the rows populated with the cutomers favorite city to visit. For John Doe (row3) in column 5 is the city "San Francisco"
When I use my nav keys, how would I "stuff" San Francicso in to the display and still have it able to select a different city?
I think this should be simple to answer. I have a userform that has multiple listboxes on it. When the user makes a selection in Listbox1 it highlights the item selected then when the user makes a selection in Listbox2 it highlights that next item and the selection in listbox1 remains highlighted. What I want is to deselect the selection in Listbox1 when Listbox2 is selected. I have tried things like below:
Sub Listbox2_Click () Me.Listbox1.Deselect End Sub
I'm using list boxes in an excel sheet. What I want to do, if at all possible, is to be able to TAB to the list box and then hit the first letter of the City I'm trying to go to. The list is in alphabetical order, but if I tab to it and want Philly, I want to just be able to hit the P button and get to the Ps.
Some time I want to remove some items before print is there possible to remove such item from listbox as well as corresponding cell without deleting row
I have a 2 column listbox storing Policy Number and Number of pages. Suppose it has 10 records. Now I want the code so that when I double click on a particular policy number of the listbox then I should be able to make the changes in that. (it might be changing the ppolicy number or number of pages if the user types something wrong by mistake)
I am trying to get this code working. at the moment it allowed me to make multiple selection in a listbox. now i want each of the selected item to different cell.
I have a list of country names in a listbox that are populated using another worksheet that has these country names. When I make a selection in the listbox, I want the same country names to be highlighted in the worksheet. I will then be able to run a macro that takes those selected cells as input.
I am attempting to use an if statement to stop a user from trying to input a listbox as a null value. The if then statement is not working. The listbox value is null but the if statement doesn't react.
If listbox1.Value = Null Then MsgBox "you must select a serial number"
I have managed to set up a dynamic range called "Managers" which is held in a worksheet named "Lists" to validate entries in Col D of a worksheet named "PartTimeStaff" -
I also have 2 userforms which either add or delete managers names from the dynamic range, this all works well.
What I need to do when using the Delete form is to check that the managers name is not selected in any cell of Col D in the "PartTimeStaff" worksheet - this is to ensure the user has reassigned the records to another manager before deleting selected manager on ListBox1within this form.
The code which runs from a command button is below
Private Sub cmbDelete_Click()
Dim i As Integer Dim SelectionsIndex() As String Dim ArraySize As Integer Dim RowToDelete As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet2 .Visible = True .Activate End With
Set ManagerStartRng = Range("A3")
Application.EnableEvents = False
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete this manager?" & vbCr & vbCr & _ "This action cannot be undone!", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel, "Confirm Delete") = vbYes Then
