I have multiple dropdown lists (forms combobox, NOT activex) on a worksheet -- once the user selects them, a keypress on the downarrow will move to the next dropdown list.
is there a way of preventing this? instead, i would like to move focus to the next cell (same column, 1 row beneath the combobox)
I am trying to setup a shortcut key while in a userform so you can press the page down key and the focus will jump to an "Ok" or "Close" button.
I tried the following keypress procedure without any luck.
Private Sub UserForm_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
If KeyAscii = vbKeyPageDown Then
Me.btnClose.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I even tried a similar test on a textbox control wihtout luck.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
If KeyAscii = vbKeyPageDown Then
MsgBox "You Pressed PageDown Key"
End If
End Sub
I should say that this is a form that has a multi-page control on it and the showmodal property set to false.
It's almost like the event doesn't even fire. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
I am having this weird problem. The work laptop I received with excel 2010 does not allow me to use the vertical arrow keys when navigating through multiple lines when editing a cell. When editing the cell and I press the up or down arrow key, instead of moving to the next line within the cell, the cursor moves to the next cell. Is there a way / an option to have this fixed?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with a User From that transfers data from the user form to a sheet each time OK is pressed. On my workstation, the form stays in the middle of the screen. On the PC where it is in production, it moves to the left of screen a little each time OK is pressed until it is hard up against the edge. We recently moved to Excel 2003, and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Excel that contols this.

Anyway, here is my problem:
I've been making macros but I am worried about people moving the worksheets around or changing their names which will have the potential to mess up the macros. What preventive measures can be taken/ changes in the code? I feel like there is something very simple I am missing.
I am trying to design a spreadsheet for planning a project schedule. Down the left are the dates, across the top are the resource names and in the content are the activities being carried out.
Each activity I have is given a two letter prefix, e.g. TD = Training Delivery. I then have conditional formatting applied to each cell to change the cell colour based on the two letter prefix. In all there are six conditional formatting rules.
Now, my problem is that I need this sheet to be really fluid. I want to be able to drag and drop blocks of activities to a buffer area at the side and then drag them into another part of the schedule. However, when you drag and drop (effectively cut and paste) the activities around the conditional formatting moves with the cut content, whereas I want it to remain where it was. I guess what I'm after is a way of dragging and dropping values only.
The best I've come up with so far is an onChange macro that reapplies the conditional formatting to the relevant part of my spreadsheet, but I can't believe this is the most elegant solution. Is there perhaps a way of triggering a macro onPaste?
I have an IF formula on one worksheet that refers to another worksheet (ex: =IF(Page1!$A13="";"";Page1!$A13). The problem is when I move data from one cell to another the formula becomes #REF. (ex: =IF(Page1!#REF="";"";Page1!#REF)).

View 1 Replies View Related"how do you move control/focus between Userforms and a worksheet that has Control objects on it?"
Here's what I am trying to do... I have created a Workbook that is basically a database and uses several Userforms to allow users to enter data into the database. I then have various CommandButtons in the Userforms that are intended to extract information from the database (which is stored in a worksheet) and display that information on a newly created worksheet. What I want to do is have a CommandButton on the new worksheet (the new worksheet is called "Results") that when pressed will delete the Results worksheet and return control to the Userform that created it.
So, the basic steps are:
* Display the Userform with the show method
* On the _click event of a particular Command button, Add a new worksheet
* Fill the worksheet with the pertinent data
* Place a Command button on the new worksheet and call it "Close"
* Somehow transfer "focus" or control to the new worksheet so the user can move around, print, do whatever on the new worksheet and then when done press "Close"
* When "Close" is pressed, delete the newly created worksheet and then return control to the original Userform.
I have CheckBox1 (.Value = FALSE) on the UserForm and when I run my sript ... this change Value to TRUE and run the subrutine Private Sub CheckBox1_Click. I need block this step with using VBA code.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have built a quoting tool and Userforms to act as a user interface to this tool. The userforms basically just feed user input back to relevant sheets. I have a number of textboxes, listboxes and radio buttons on multipages. Now the issue is that each control has an Afterupdate or Change event associated with it. Consider this scenario:
I have 4 product categories (represented by radio buttons) : Cat A, Cat B, Cat C, Cat D
Each category can have up to 10 line items which are represented by combo boxes.
Now lets say the user has selected Cat A radio button, he selects a product from the combo box (the cursor or focus is still on the combo box) and clicks on Cat B radio button. Here is the issue: on the first click, Afterupdate or Change event of Combo box fires but radio button is still unselected. The user has to click Cat B radio button AGAIN to select Cat B radio button. So essentially it takes two clicks with a slight pause between them to change categories.
One way to avoid this is to press Enter or 'tab through' each field. But this is not very intuitive. I have tried using Exit, Afterupdate, Exit, Change events without success. I can't use ControlSource option because the cell to input info to is dynamically selected. I have used xlCalculationManual for some text boxes but can't use this since some inputs on the userforms depend on the right value being calculated on the sheet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a userform with a combobox in it that's rowsource is a column of company names in a worksheet. When a company name is chosen, a combobox change private sub runs and many userform textboxes are populated with information about the company that was chosen from the combobox dropdown. This information is stored on a worksheet. I then want to edit any of the information in these textboxes. Once my edits are made I have a CommandButton that is pressed to save the edit changes. This CommandButton runs a private sub that disables the combobox (thinking this would prevent the combobox private sub from running), deletes the row that the information originated from, and then SHOULD make a new row of values based on the contents of the textboxes following the edits. The problem is that the CommandButton coding that deletes the row causes the combobox change private sub to run because the company that had been selected is now the missing from the rowsource; this causes an error.

This code works perfect when you manualy type true or false on row 3 but not if the check box makes the change.

Now I'm interested in some refinements to make this little toy I'm building work faster. I want the user to be able to enter data without having to click the text box in order to proceed. My code
Userform1. show
just brings up the form with a text box in it, and the user has to click in the box to get started. Is there code I can add that will put the cursor in the text box so it's ready to go?
I suppose this seems trivial, but it will speed the data entry part of this little project up and every little bit counts.

I am looking to connect 2 form control boxes and have the second box run 2 different types of macros. The first box will have only 2 options - select by week and select by month.
The second box should show the list of weeks or months based on the selection in the first box. Then for the second box, if weeks is shown, a week macro should be run whenever a week date is selected. Similarly for the list of months, a month macro should be run whenever a month is selected.
I have been trying to do this for more than a week (after posting on this board) without success. I apologize if this seems like a duplicate post.
how to get a list of the properties for form control shapes (not control toolbox shapes) that are placed on a worksheet (not on a userform). Eg., a button, checkbox, combobox, etc.

I understand you can edit properties of a form control shape via VBA code (See example below), however, I can't seem to find anything within the object browser about them.
EXAMPLE
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Scroll Bar 2").ControlFormat
.Min = 10
.Max = 150

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on an Inventory control worksheet where i have all parts used in a certain assembly on the left (A) followed by Qty per assembly (B) and then current baseline Inventory (C). In columns D-max i will have at the top a pull down menu to let the user decide if they are subtracting from inventory (Purchase Order) or adding to inventory (Fulfillment). Under both circumstances, depending on which is selected I would like a different form to pop up which allows the user to enter values to control the chart.
If Purchase order is selected then a pop up will ask the order number, date, and quantity. This will then fill in three specific cells in the chart which control an equation to subtract the number of parts based on the order quantity.
If Fulfillment is selected I would like a pop up or the entire parts list to appear with a field to enter the number of parts being stocked. The program will then add these parts to the previous inventory entry.
In the example attached you can see that right now you have to manually enter the number of units ordered, then an If statement takes over to calculate the new inventory level (If statement used to keep things neat and possibly to incorporate fulfillment at a later time). At this time there is no way for me to enter stocking transactions.
