Locate A Shape Within A Shape
Jan 24, 2014
On the attached spreadsheet there is two irregular shapes. "Area1" & "Area2". I need to be able to determine which area the "ball" shape is located in. If the ball is in Area1 then "Multiply 8" gets the ball and "Multiply 9" moves to the blue cell "AH39". If the ball is in "AreaB" Multiply 9 gets the ball and "Multiply 8" runs to cell "S37"
I should be able to do the moving of the shapes using all the samples, its determining which area the ball is in is the problem.
In the real spreadsheet i will probably have around 10 different Areas.

I have D4=0.42. I thought this formula =IF(D4<0.38,"Thin",IF(0.38<D4<=0.48,"Good shape","Bad shape")) was supposed to give me "Thin" for D4<0.38, "Good shape" for 0.38<D4<=0.48 and "Bad shape" for the contrary, but it only gives me "Bad shape" when D4 is clearly between 0.38 and 0.48.

I have a shape in Excel called Canada. I grouped it with another shape and want this new grouping to be called Canada. But when I enter Canada in the shape name entry box, it doesn't actually change it (as it thinks I am referring to the existing Canada).
I need something like Names manager, but for shapes, not ranges.

Is there any way that I can get the name of the shape i just clicked to call a procedure?
I have 35 shapes in my Worksheet.
Each shape has a different name. Each shape has a macro procedure assigned, wich do almost the same procedure (with just small differences, depending on from wich shape the macro was called).
I want to make just one macro procedure and catch from wich shape the macro was called.

I want to create a shape connecting them and place that shape on a userform. I can create the area without any problems on a worksheet using ActiveSheet.Shapes.BuildFreeform but I don't know how to get it onto my userform.
I have looked through previous posts on similar topics and seen responses that it's as easy as copying the shape from the worksheet and pasting it into an image or frame on the userform. I can copy the shape to the clipboard without any problem. However, when I try to paste it onto an image or frame in a userform I get a message saying that the object doesn't support the use of paste. I've tried using both Selection.Copy and Selection.CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap thinking it might treat a bitmap differently. When I paste I'm trying both UserForm1.Frame1.Picture.Paste and UserForm1.Image1.Picture.Paste but neither work, even though I have blank images and frames with those names on my form.

I have put a rectangle shape in a cell in excel. The shape is within the border of a particular cell.
Is there a way to find the reference of the cell on which that particular shape resides.
For example, I have kept a rectangle shape in cell F5. I was looking for a macro which would return the cell reference "F5" in which the shape resides.

Have an .xls file with multiple sheets and many objects (Shapes) on of those sheets.
The objects are all rectangles, some of which contain text frames, where I had entered manually some text.
Also, each shape has a name.
Now, I want my VBA Macro to take a specific shape (using its name), and find out if it has text frame in it.

I have a macro which hides rows in excel. The lines that I am hiding have a "Rounded Rectangle" shape inserted with a hyperlink. I want the shapes to be hidden as well when I hide the rows. However, when hiding the rows, the shapes persist. Is there a way to hide the shapes as well?
I am hiding the rows via the following vba code...
If Range("CurrentVersion").Value = "1" Then
Rows("20:25").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
Rows("20:25").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If

I have many spreadsheets that use shapes such as arrows and other symbols. The process for these spreadsheets is to move the shape (arrow for Ex) to indicate a specific location of pain or something like that.
Once the arrow is in position, the spreadsheet is printed to PDF and and a snapshot (in adobe) is "taken" and the picture (with the arrow) is pasted into our application.
My questions is how can I move the shapes back into position when you want to do it all over again.
When I have a few shapes I use
PHP Code:
Set sShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Right Arrow 6") 2
With sShape
.Top = 220
.Left = 91
.Rotation = 20
End With
For each shape
But if I have lots of shapes, 50+, it's a bit more cumbersome.
Can I loop through the shapes when I enable the macros to pick up the current positions and use that information when I do a reset (loop back again to move any shape that were touched back to where it was when the spreadsheet was opened?
Currently I have them close the spreadsheet without saving and just reopen.

I Have several images on Sheet 1, I can copy the needed Images to sheet 2 as needed.
Once the image is pasted to sheet2 how do I assign it to a shape variable so that I can position it as desired.
I do not want to have to use Sheet2.(Range("B2").activate or similar
I'm looking to use
Shp.top = 25
Shp.left =15
Code:
Sub Macro1()
Dim Shp As Shape
Sheet1.Shapes("Picture 1").Copy
Sheet2.Paste
'To set the shape variable to the shape on sheet2
Set Shp = "WHAT GOES HERE"
Shp.Top = 25
Shp.Left = 15
End Sub

I have a series of shapes (circles) that I wish to use as a substitute to the radio buttons found in the form controls (too small).
I've drawn the shapes, but wish to manipulate their properties in VBA. For example, when the user clicks on the shape, the macro includes VBA which will change the properties to include colour and fill. Of course, clicking it again, will send it back to the default.
How can I get the VBA of the current shape's (default) properties? Where can I find a list of the VBA properties available to any particular shape so I know what fields are available to set attributes to?

I am trying to create a table of contents for a very long list of items on a sheet. I am using shapes on a seperate sheet to act as buttons, that go to the location on the correct sheet using a hyperlink. I found how to add a hyperlink using a macro, but I can't find how to create a hyperlink for the shape using a macro.
What is the code I would need to set a hyperlink to "Sheet1!A2:Sheet1!C2", with the a tooltip of "Some text"?
Here is how I create the shapes:
With myDocument.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRoundedRectangle, 10, IntVerticalOffset, 630, IntHeight)
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(204, 255, 204)
.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = StrRowName
.TextFrame.HorizontalAlignment = xlHAlignLeft
.TextFrame.Characters.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.TextFrame.Characters.Font.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Locked = True
End With

Is there any way that this bit of code can be combined to create a shape using dates that fall on weekends (that are listed in row2) and at the same time cover all rows up to the last Row used in a worksheet?
For instance, in the columns of Row2 we have many dates and we would have "16-Jan-10" in one column and "17-Jan-10" in another column (usually the next column) which are weekend dates. the shape should be created in the next row under the weekend date and cover the column all the way down to the last used Row (last Row contaning data).
With ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape( _
Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
Top:=.Top, Left:=.Left, _
Width:=.Width, _
Height:=.Height)
.Placement = xlFreeFloating '
.Fill.ForeColor _
.RGB = RGB(Red:=192, Green:=192, Blue:=192)
End With
