Looking For A Way To Hover Over Object And Have Image Appear
Jan 6, 2010
I don't know if this is possible or not but I am looking for a way to hover over a cell and have an image appear. If this is not possible is there a way to add something like a comment on the cell but have it be an image not text? Currently I have the cell hyper-linked to the image but it would be nice if I did not need a whole other window to pop up.
In excel 2007, I have an embedded image on a sheet which I want to make it hidden by default. When someone hovers over a particular cell say cell B3, then image should be displayed below this cell (sort of hyperlinking) and when the cursor or activell cell is not in B3 it should be hidden again. What steps/technique/VBA code will make it happen ?
I have a Listbox with multiple items (Multiselect property is on). However, due to the length of the items not all the parts of it is visible within the listbox.
Is there a way by which if a user hovers the mouse over an item in the ListBox (or selects an item), the whole item is visible (the way it is done in ControlTipText)
Is there any way I can activate a sub routine when the user passes the mouse cursor over an activeX object.
For example this activates code when the user interacts with an activeX scroll bar:
VB: Private Sub ScrollBar2_gotfocus() Dim A, B, C If OLEObjects("checkbox1").Object.Value = False Then B = Range("B4").Value A = (100 - B) / 2 C = (100 - B) / 2 End If
IS there a "gotfocus" equivalent such that code will run if the user simply passes their mouse cursor over the scroll bar EVEN IF they dont click it?
a button to run a macro but i don't like the standard plain grey buttons that excel offers. i saw a friend using one in his project but don't want to ask him how he did it as it would be considered copying. i will add an image to explain my specifications. there must be an easier way than having to design it and you vba to code the colour change.
I've created several buttons that link to macros that I have put in the first row of my sheet. I've freezed the panes so they won't move so you can see the buttons form wherever you are so you can use them. However, I'd like to describe what the buttons do somewhere so it's easy for users to use them...
I was thinking the easiest way to do this would be when you hover over the button it shows text in a a little pop up window...like if you hover over an image sometimes there is text that appears.
Is there VBA code that I can write to make that happen? How would I then tie it to a button? To create the buttons under developer I just did Insert, Form Control, Button...
I need to link an image to a cell value and display the selected image in a new sheet of the same excel. I am attaching samplefile for easy reference. The requirement is, from the workout sheet when I select from drop down list, then the corresponding cell value appears in Parameter sheet in C9 cell.
There are four images copied in Parameter excel. The given image has to be selected and linked to the C9 cell value. Based on the selection that particular image should be shown on Sample Picture sheet. Here based on the selection only the image should reflect here.
I need to find an easy way to locate an image on my server and upon selection rather than inserting the actual image I need to insert the image path. e.g. "s:imageshighresgreen1234.jpg"
I have a database that is growing and growing now obviously the more i put in it the bigger it gets
i have a cell that says something like "uk open welsh regional finals" now to cut this down i would like to just put "uowrf" and when i hover the cell or even click the cell it would tell me what them initials stood for
I created 5 charts and instead of having them spread everywhere in the worksheet, I would like them to be "reduced" to some kind of a link contained in a cell (at the botom of the data of each chart). Then, I would like the chart to appear only if I put the mouse on this cell.
When you hold your mouse over a bubble on a bubble chart, it typically displays the x value, y value and size value. Is there any way to add other captions to display? For example, if my chart is based on sales data and I'm plotting a point based on ease of probability (x axis) and dollar value (y value)....I'd also like to see the initials of the salesperson assigned to that prospect when I hover over the bubble?
My workbook simply has multiple columns of data which will be summarized visually in a tag cloud (I have the tag cloud part taken care of already creating either a jpg or png, I simply have to change the extension within a batch file to change between picture formats)
I need to have the tag cloud image display and update depending on which column the user would like to summarize (for now I have simplified the issue by only having one of the data columns in my workbook, and will worry about the user selection of the data column to be summarized later).
My Main Question:
Focusing on the image display and updating now, whether it be an ActiveX Image Control or any other way. I've been playing around manually before I try and code it and I can not get either a jpg or png file to attach to the ActiveX control (both of which cause an Invalid Picture Message).
The file name can stay the same if need be and for now I think/assume that'd be easiest (I have my Tag cloud generator just replacing the previously existing image file of the same name).
Would ActiveX control be the way to go for this dynamically changing image?
I am looking for a way to take the picture name associated with an image ie: (picture 571) and place that picture name in the cell next to the image.
I can see the picture name - it registers in the top left box that usually indicates the cell the cursor is on... and I could manually type that name next to each image.
However my spreadsheet has several thousand rows- each with several columns of information and an image..
I am looking for a way "formula?" to automatically read the image in cell J4 and populate cell K4 with the image name... and so on.
The reason for my request... is I am importing products into a web based shopping cart... to do so I have to export the products to a csv and import that csv into the shopping cart. The process of exporting to a csv- strips away all the images and leaves just data.
I found that I can save the document as an html and that process creates a folder with all the images- saved as (picture 571.jpg) if the resulting csv had the image name... the shopping cart would then look for that image name in my image file and it would populate into the shopping cart appropriately.
This seemed on it's face like a really simple thing to do, I have plenty experience with excel & I thought I'd be able to make cell k4= j4 and tada it would glean the image name & I could simply copy that formula all the way down the sheet & it would be done... but I just cant find the magic button that freely gives up the image name...
I have a number of image controls on a user form, each being loaded with an image from file.
Image1 being loaded with a picture of a bus image2 being loaded with a picture of a school
And so on
Now what I am trying to do is when that image is clicked the name of that image is passed to a textbox
So the action would be
1 image of bus loaded into image control1 , the name of that image being bus.jpg 2 image is clicked 3 the name bus.jpg appears in a text box
Here is what I have so far
Code:
Private Sub Image1_Click() DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value = bus.jpg
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value= Image1.Name - this does not work
End Sub
Which works but as you can see this is static, as I have supplied the value , were as I would like the clicking action to pick up the name of the jpeg being displayed
So expanding upon this if say image1 is loaded with say a picture of a car instead of a bus
LValue4 = "E:Car.jpg"
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(LValue4)
Now when it is clicked the name of the image being displayed in image control1 would be Car.jpg
And it is this value I wish to transfer to a text box for now will do more with it later
In addition to this I am not sure if the best idea is to have a number of image controls and load each with an individual picture or have one image control and swap the picture by clicking a command button
Is there a way to have image box display an image with a name matching data from a cell? example: if I type "hello" in cell a1, Image box will load image named "hello". And display new images by changing the name in cell a1. Note: the images will be located in a permanent folder.
I am trying to display an image ("image") on an image control ("Image1") placed in a worksheet ("Sheet1"). The problem is that I want this action to take place when I press a button in a user form. I am trying to use the following code, but it seems that VBA does not recognize the image control ("Image1") in the worksheet.
Private Sub cmdDisplayImage_Click() Dim image As Variant image = ThisWorkbook.Path & "sun.jpg" Sheets("Sheet1").Activate Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(image) End Sub
With this msg i am attaching one excel. I have the data on the basis of "image wise files data", but where how to get "record wise image numbers", i am unknown on this.
1) i have office 2003 on a laptop. within powerpoint, i can create a 'microsoft excel chart 11' object. to create a link to the excel data source, do i have to go through the odbc sql setup? it works, but i don't want my powerpoint to be dependent on some excel file somewhere. what are the other options to insert/make a functional pivot chart in powerpoint with the data also within powerpoint? the data as sheet option does not result in the chart being a pivot, it's just a plain chart. it has to be a proper object, not an image paste or a chart that updates links with the excel file open.
2) i have office 2007 on my other laptop. i can not find any suitable object to choose from to make a pivot chart in powerpoint. what's the best way to go about in 2007 version?
3) am i going about this the wrong way with the objects? should i be after vba code?
I have three worksheets A, B, and C. I'm using the worksheets as a pseudo-database. Worksheet A contains raw data. Worksheet B contains a look-up table. Woksheet merges the information together. Currently I do have the VBA code working to compare the value in WS A to WS B and if they match then it inserts the data into WS C. What I am wanting is a pop-up window that when the value is WS A isn't contained in WS B. This pop up window would contain both an image (to be dynamically pulled from the hard drive) and a text input field. My next step would then take the input field and inset that into WS B.
I have a document I want to be able to choose to insert a logo in the header across an whole document if it is not going to be printed on letterhead. I want the document to be transportable to different users so I don't want to insert an image with a file address but rather copy it from a hidden sheet. Is it possible to do this? If not, is there a way to hide or unhide images in a header?
I'm trying to writ a small user form with a text box, buttom and image container. The idea is when I type a sign number and click the button the form add the sign number to the address path of the folder containing the images and set the image containers picture to the corisponding file .. this is what I've done so far but I cant get it to work -
I have a multi-row ,multi-column spreadsheet which lists furniture items, and with some plain Excel formulas allows me to create a proper list.
I'm using Excel as a database, in Sheet1 I have all the data, and Sheet2 is actually where I select the data and set the list of the chosen items.
Now, I have the images for all the items listed in Sheet1 in the same folder of the xlsm file, and I want to insert the proper image in a given cell in the given row.
Looking for something which may do the trick I did find this code in your site and it actually works for me!
Now, what I need is to provide the PictureFileName and TargetCell via parameters already present in the spreadsheet.
Say I want to retrieve the image shelves.jpg which is in the folder DATABASEimgs in your code mentioned above I manually set the string for PictureFileName like this
