How do I disable a custom menu item when a user is entering data in a cell?
For example... when the formula bar in Excel has focus, and a user tries to select Data > Sort, the Sort item is disabled. But when the focus is back to the worksheet, Data > Sort is enabled.
I need to do the same thing for my custom menu items.
I'm using excel 2003 and received a file that has the properties (file/Properties) menu option grayed out. I need to access the properties menu to identify file information.
Suppose I delete a (unknown) number of items from the Worksheet Menu Bar. This can vary because of the fact that my excel sheet is being used by a different number of people, all with a different Worksheet Menu Bar configuration. Is there a way of counting how many Menu items are still left in the Worksheet Menu Bar?
So, suppose all that is left (after using the program) in the Worksheet Menu Bar are Excel, File, Tools, Help. How can the porgram find out that there are only 4 items in the menu?
i'm trying to build a GUI-only application using Excel Userforms, with File and Help menus on the form. i'm coming from Java where i know getting a menu on a GUI is possible, but i haven't seen any resources for it in VBA Excel Userforms. is it possible to place menu items in a userform?
Came across an example in a VBA book, wrt adding custom menu items. This example included code for deleting the menu item before closing the workbook.
Is there a reason you'd want to do this? The example already had provisions to delete the menu item if it already existed before the code ran, so you wouldn;t end up with multiple items...
One can create additional menu items for the right click, and these will show up always at the bottom. Is it possible to force them to appear at the top of the menu list above cut? This is specific to Macro created items.
I have created a menu called "Temp" and a sub menu called "Temp1". When the user click on Temp1, I need to dynamically add some menu items under Temp1. Is this possible in Excel?
I need to do this on the right click menu. for example, along with "Cut", paste" etc menu's I need to add a Menu Item, Temp and under this menu, I need to add a SubMenu, Temp1. When the user click on the Temp1, I need to populate the child items.
I have created an Addin from one I found on this site which creates a menu on the CommandBar. On this menu I can add my Macros. The Menu is initially supposed to perform a delete function then an add, just in case the menu already exists on the CommandBar. It is also supposed to Uninstall the menu when you de-select the Addin. At the moment it doesn't seem to be doing either, as I have now got 5 CommandBar menu's all the same and I can't delete them?
This also creates a problem of when I add another macro, the menu on the CommandBar doesn't update with the addition?
I have attached the .xla file for you to look at and see where I'm going wrong.
How can I disable the SAVE and PRINT options under Office Button, in excel 2007??? I've tried a macro that I used in 2003 version, but it not works (problem: "File" menu)!!!
I've got several add-ins that I'd like the end user to install and have accessible under one menu item ("Assessments") in Excel 2003. So far, the code below successfully adds the item, but it only shows the item of one add-in. How can I get it to show all the items under the "Assessments" category?
Private Sub Workbook_Activate() Run "AddMenus" End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate() Run "DeleteMenu" End Sub
Sub AddMenus() Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar Dim iHelpMenu As Integer Dim cbcCutomMenu As CommandBarControl
Is there a code or a way to make it impossible to make permanent changes to a file without first saving it as something else? I have a master report that is done monthly.
I do not want anyone to be able to save any changes on the master report. How do I go about disabling save and the save as funtions in excel? I have a save as command button that I only want people to use.
Also is there a way to set up a print command button to print to any computers default printer? I have set up a print command button on my computer and it works fine on mine, but I have sent the file to another person and the button is not doing anything on their computer. I assume because we don't have the same computers.
I cannot figure out why this setting has changed. When I right click my tab worksheet in Excel to copy or rename, it does not allow me. I will need your advice to re-activate that options so it is visible and not gray. I tried in the VBA workbook properties settings with no luck and also Tools, Options.
Option Explicit Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar Dim iHelpMenu As Integer Dim cbcCustomMenu As CommandBarControl
'(2)
Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
'(4)
Set cbcCustomMenu = cbMainMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
'(5) Give the control a caption................
I have created several spreadsheet with customized menus. In step 5 when I type a period the options for selecting Caption does not appear. In step 6 the 'Control' word didn't appear in list. Sometimes the options in step 6 do appear BUT not the option for Controls. I have created spreadsheets with menus that work but the only way I could do it was to cut and paste from the website and then modify it.
I am using the following code to add an item to the right click " cell" shortcut menu.
I placed it in a Worksheet_Activate module in ThisWorkbook. I'm pretty sure the code is correct but it seems something is preventing the code from executing properly because no item is added to the menu. Is there some setting in a workbook that might prevent changes to the right click menu from being made? How can I get this code to execute properly?
I have a workbook with multiple sheets. Is there a tool that creates a menu bar or code that I can add that would support navigation?
My goal is to have something with approximately 4 options (buttons?). They would link to 4 different sheets that serve as indexes within the workbook.
I know I can add a control like a button to a given sheet that would take the user to given sheet when clicked, but can I make the button 'float' above all the sheets, or add to a menu bar, or something? I just don't want to have to add the button to every sheet in the workbook.
I am looking for something simple/easy, and am not looking for anybody to do the work. I just have no idea on how to approach the problem.
At the moment if a pupil has done foundation listening then I write their numerical result in, for example C3 or if they have done higher listening I write it in F3 (and it works out the UMS and then the grade), but I wondered if there would be any way to just put a dropdown menu in a column for each name, or change it so that I can type in H or F that will change which data is used? Because the UMS and grades are different depending on whether the pupil has done higher or foundation I am unsure how to format it
Sheet 1 has a table of prices. There are 7 columns labelled 2 thru 8 and two rows, labelled 1 and 2. Each combo has a separate price.
Sheet 2 has a weight specification (1 or 2 referring to the rows in sheet 1) and a drop down menu with options 2 thru 8.
When I choose a number from the drop down menu, let's say 5, I want to populate another cell with the value from sheet 1 of column 5 on row "whatever the weight spec is", let's say 2.
I have a column with various drop down menu boxes and I need to add another selection to the menu list. My problem is, it's been so long since I did the drop downs, I have forgotten how to do it..
I'm adding a menu selection to the right-click menu that you get for cells. I can add and remove the menu option but, when I try to execute the macro tied to the menu, I get "the macro...cannot be found". I can't figure out what appears to be a "pathing problem". I'm sure it's simple but...
Now this is something which I dont even know if it can be done, but its something which I would use, a lot. When clicking on a button, like a normal button from the control toolbox, is it possible to open a menu from this? So I click on the button i made called "accounts" and this opens a menu next to it with different options.
my worksheet menu bar is displaying the ' Chart' menu no matter what I do. Not only do I have no charts in the workbook, (verified this by: )
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Select MsgBox ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
Next ws
but adding worksheets, selecting various parts of a worksheet, creating a chart and deleting it, and everything else I've tried has no effect.
One interesting thing - the first chart I added (to test if it would 'unstick' itself upon deletion of the new chart) was named 'Chart 2', implying there was a chart1 that existed previously.... although I am fairly certain I never added a chart to this workbook at any point.
Also, the menu bar is working fine in other workbooks, and changes to chart and back to data like normal.
I have created a drop-down menu combobox of districts and depending on your choice of districts the list of Health Centers in each district changes. What I want to do is to protect the contents of the cells that contain the health centers. The problem is that when I lock the cells and I choose a district, the Health Center cells cannot change because the cells are locked. Is there anyway around it?
I have attached the sample (Please look at sheet 2. The column that I want to block is the column FOSA)
I am creating a excel calculator to quick and easy calculate CBM (cubic metres) for a total number of cartons and pallets loaded into a container. The value of 1 carton or 1 pallet will be different depending on which type of packaging/pallet it is.
I have created drop down menues in order to choose the correct packaging / pallet. But I am stuck on on to create the formula.
If I for example choose "LANDFROZEN 7KG CARTONS" from the drop down menu, I need the formula to collect the value in cell E18 If I for exampel choose "LANDFROZEN 10 KG CARTONS" from the drop dwon menu, I need the formula to collect the value in cell E25 .... and so on.
I have tried to use several functions, but none is working the way I want them to :-)
Just discovered the drawing tools on my quick access tool bar are disabled. All were enabled and working fine just yesterday. I'm running 07 on xp. I've shut down and rebooted, no change. Need to know how this could have happened but mostly, how to enable.
I am taking an EXCEL(online) class and in my current assignment i am to create a 'list' for sorting and querying. However i cannot find the 'list' option, under my DATA option on the toolbar. I have tried all my toolbars and shortcuts but I am unable to find it anywhere.
