Preventing Users Viewing Toolbars And Exiting Full Screen Mode?
Jul 12, 2014
I have created a spreadsheet and wanted to originally see if I could save as a separate format (that makes it more like an application than an Excel spreadsheet). Having investigated, I found that full screen mode pretty much does what I want, however you can restore the menus by pressing ESC or selecting restore down. Is there a way of preventing users from exiting full screen mode, I could add a close application button for them to use instead.
I have large workbook with various sheets. In my first worksheet I have some command buttons that call each sheet as needed. However, I would like each sheet to be displayed either as a web page or in a way that the user does not see all of the menus, bars and so on.
a) appear more app-like, and b) show more data in the available space.
I do not want to go too elaborate by hiding (remembering and restoring) control bars and I reckon the View Full Screen is pretty much okay for my purposes.
I am currently invoking View Full Screen on Workbook_Activate but hitting the ESC key returns to normal view. I can already see my users hitting the ESC key for various reasons and ruining my master plan.
Is there are any way to prevent unintended ESC from Full-Screen or otherwise lock in the full-screen mode until revoked intentionally by macro (shortcut)?

I seem to be stuck in "Full Screen" mode. When I go to the View menu, both "Full Screen" and "Normal" are highlighted. I can't seem to get out of Full Screen. I am using Excel 2003, XP SP3 installed. This just started this am. I did download and install Microsoft patches this am. ??? I am able to save and use Excel but without normal view my formating buttons etc. are not available.
how do i achieve maximum full-screen mode in excel 2007.... i would like if only main menu tabs are visible (File|Insert|Page Layout...etc)... Also is it possible to hide the numerics and alphabets numbers of Rows and Columns??
I'm just looking to prevent users from using the print screen or the alt print screen buttons on the keyboard. I have this script that works if I use "39" (Right Arrow)but wont work if I use "42" (Print Screen Button).
I am creating a userform and would like to be able to automatically enter the name of the person using it. The way our network is set up is Username = 1st 5 letters of surname + 1st 2 letters of forename. Due to this i cannot use
Function UserNameWindows() As String UserName = Environ("USERNAME") End Function
as this returns the login name as opposed to the full name. I also cannot use
Function UserNameOffice() As String UserNameOffice = Application.UserName End Function
due to the fact that the office settings are defaulted to "Any Authorised User" unless manually updated by the user.
The users full name is displayed at the top of the start menu, but I have so far not been able to find a way to pull that into my form.
This is a simple fine line crosshair which ALWAYS extends the full screen width and height. Excel users seem to be stuck with the little box cross. A full screen crosshair for Excel would allow one to instantly and easily see which row and column the cursor is on without clicking a cell or following from the cursor to the row/column with your finger on the screen. It may seem trivial, but once you have used a full screen crosshair, you just don't know what you've been missing.
I have 2 forms. Form1 and Form2. I load Form1 to display. A button on Form1 calls Form2 to display. After I hit Cancel-Unload on Form2 it doesn't dissapear. How do I get rid of the residual image of pesky Form2 after I unload it and only display Form1 WITHOUT having to reload Form1 after Form1 calls Form2
In English Form1 Displays Form1 call Form2 to display Form2 is unloaded by hitting a button on Form2 Form2 is unloaded, however, it's image still displays!!!
Need some way to force screen to refresh without having to unload Form1!
I'm using Excel 2010. I have a workbook with only 1 worksheet in it and it will be sent to several people. I want that excel file to open in Full View when the end user opens it. Is this possible without any VBA codes?
i have an excel workbook containing approx 20 worksheets. What I would like to do is make the workbook go full screen when the user opens the file and allow the user to save as into the same file path the workbook is stored when closed
This might be extremely easy, but why my Excel (nor Word for that matter) doesn't go to full screen anymore? I'm pretty sure that I haven't used any options, I do have a new graphics card, but all the other applications goes to full screen. I have restarted my computer. Basically I think that it's either some option, or then reinstalling Office.
is there a way i can make my user form in full screen? i already drag it to it's full screen but i still can see the blue tool bar with X (close) button i also want to run the macro when i open the file i want it to run automatically with full screen....
How can I make excel go to full screen (Alt-W-E) as soon as a workbook is opened and then revert back to normal view when it is closed? I already have this code in my workbook_open event just in case that will affect the answer:
HTML Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() If Not LockSheet(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet) Then Exit Sub
My workbook operates in full screen mode simly to make it looks a bit nicer. I have some + - buttons that call a macro to change the scale of the axes of a chart (sort of a zoom effect). For some reason, whenever I run these macros my workbook exits out of full screen mode.
I had a spreadsheet with 17 photos on, one in each cell. I had to resize so you can see them all on the screen. If you have some pictures that are resized to fit in cells, is there any way to double click (or hover?) them and make them actual size or full screen when you want to view them in detail?
I am trying to write a macro with a loop that counts the number of occurences of a specific piece of text within a range. I have tried both Do loops and ForEach loops. How do I end the loop? It just keeps wrapping back to the beginning. Excel does not seem to recognize EOF in the way Access or SQL does.
I need something that will exit all macros currently in place. The reason i am asking for this is because i have code that uses Application.Run to run another macro within the current code. If the other macro called on in Application.Run has a msgbox which has an OK/Cancel option, i want the Cancel button to exit all macros, not just the one that is used to access the message box via the Application.Run.
this is the portion fo the code that shows the cancel button and my attempt to use Exit Sub; however, this only exits the current sub, not all subs.
Code: If TnC4 = vbCancel Then msgbox "This application has been cancelled.", vbInformation, "CANCELLED APPLICATION" Application.Run "CLEAR" Exit Sub End If
I need to be able to have users complete a range of mandatory cells before they are able to close a workbook.
Foe example cells c5,c10,i11, i18,i22 i24,i26 etc etc need to have data in them before uses is allowed to save or close the workbook. I would like to have a message box prompt to alert them to the issue.
I seem to be spending an increasing amount of time on here these days! I hope this one is quite simple - I want to add a time stamp of when a cell is updated, but I dont know how to do this. I presume that an adjacent cell can have =now(), but need to know how it to run this when a particular cell has been changed.
I am trying to make a "master" sheet where employees total calls for the day are recorded.
Each employee will be marking their calls each day which will be on an excel spreadsheet. i would like to then create a MASTER sheet that links to all the employees specific sheets so when they exit the sheet it updates the master, or it can be a live update if that is possible...
I've set a range as DD14 to G014, then using a For Next Loop asked the program to cycle through each cell in the range. Upon findng a populated cell, it stores several bits of data from that cell (already done) and then move up one cell to record the cell value (time) and again move one cell up to record the date.
Now I did get this to work using a clunky bit of code that used activecell.offset to move the focus up the two columns and a While .... Wend loop - but using a set range and cycling through each cell it does not appear to be possible - or am I wrong?
Set MyRange(1) = Range("D14:ER14") Set MyRange(2) = Range("D23:GN23") For MyCounter = 1 To 2 For Each Cell In MyRange(MyCounter) If Cell.Value = "" Then Goto Skip_Cell MyCell = Cell.Address MyPosition = InStr(1, Cell.Value, ",") If MyPosition = 0 And Len(Cell.Value) >= 3 Then Tool_Number = Left(Cell.Value, 3).....................
