Is there a simple way to trap mouse and keyboard events in Excel, only within a VB loop, and then return to normal behavior after exiting the loop? That is, I want to know if a key is pressed (and what key) or the mouse clicked and not have it affect the spreadsheet. I don't want the key pressed to type into the spreadsheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that serves as a navigation page for the workbook and use the following code to restrict from scrolling off the viewable content. The problem is that the code doesn't kick in until either a click if the mouse or keyboard input. This initially leaves the worksheet open for scrolling until input is received.
How do I make this code activate when the wb is loaded? Code in the Thisworkbook module already makes the menu the visible sheet, and code limiting the scroll area is in the sheet module.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:L11"
End With
Range("A1").Activate
End Sub
I've also tried using "Range("A1").Select", but it doesn't work either. How can I get this to work correctly?
I use Excel XP 2002. I now can't copy /paste by using the right mouse button. It works perfectly in other MS products, on the net and on the desktop. l have checked my Tools/Options with other users, I have uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled the complete Excel package but the problem persists, even from start with a blank worksheet. I have also checked and there are no add-on ticked.

I have a master "update" commandbutton on sheet 1. I have two sub "update" buttons on sheet 2 and 3 respectively.
What I would like to do is have the user click the master button, that would "click" the two sub buttons so they run their respective macros on their respective worksheets (within the same worksheet.
I have tried pasting the macro code in the master button, telling it to select the sub worksheet and then run the macro, but the marco runs itself on the master worksheet instead.
Below are the codes to hide the objects within Excel, Disable Keyboard shortcuts and disable right click, all are placed in the ThisWorkbook and i placed them in a 'Private Sub Workbook_Open()' function.
VB:
'Change 'False' to 'True' to unhide
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False

There maybe simpler ways to do the above i just don't know them, it's just these have worked for me and i have had zero bugs come back from them!
I have a large project that I've been able to move all code from the workbook to an Add-In (except code that's sheet related).
I have one module that refuses to run from the Add-In. In this code
I'm trying to design a form, for various staff members to populate.
I would like to ease their usage by putting a check mark in which ever cell they left click, also if they click a second time in the same cell it will undo the action.
I have not decided yet which which cells I am using, but is their some simple routine that could be used over & over again and all I would need to do would (hopefully) simply be to change the cell numbers in the routine to apply to that cell or range of cells.
I have a log that stores a list of different files in the first column. All of these files are worksheet hyperlinks (ie: =HYPERLINK("\USSS000010_PUBLIC5_COMMON15_PPA20066-032G6-032G.xls","06-032G")). If I click on any of these cells the file will open.
I am trying to open certain files from the list using VBA.
My question is Is there any way to simulate a mouse click, on the cell containing the hyperlink, using VBA?
If we mouse click any cell (right/left) it put √ symbol in that cell... How can I do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn excel when you have filters on for all columns there is a little bitty square box with a little down arrow (like an upside down triangle) in the lower right corner of every cell in the top row (the header row) and I can't find a way to select one of those little itty bitty down arrows without using a mouse - -
Is there any way to select one of those little down arrows in the little filter box icon thingy with the keyboard?? I can't figure it out.
I just want to select the little arrow so that the filter dialog box opens - I am trying to create a keyboard macro that will use the 'BEGINS WITH' macro but when i record the macro it uses the same word for the "BEGINS WITH" parameter every time and I want it to use the word in the current clipboard - can't seem to write that.
I ask because I would like to change the value of a cell within A:A to TODAY() if the user right clicks on it - or with some keyboard combination.
View 9 Replies View Relatedmy right mouse-clicker doesn't work in excel anymore. something with macros happened I guess.
has anybody an idea to activate it again?? it's just in the workfield, to change worksheets-colours and stuff at the worksheet-registry it works as usual.
it's very nasty to work in cells without mouse..
I want to select a function from a right mouse click that will place the current date in the selected cell.
Example:
1) Click on a cell
2) Perform a right mouse click
3) select the date function
4) the current date appears in selected cell
could this be set up so that the date function in the right mouse click only appears when specified cells are selected? Is this doable?
I have a list box with items. When I stay on item and press mouse right click, I want see pop up menu with "remove this item" and "add new item".

The code to disable is below and to re-enable I just change False to True.

I have a worksheet that I use to monitor the progress of student interns. They are assigned 20 different tasks and recieve 5 points for each task they complete, for a possible total of 100. In my worksheet, I record their progress and maintain a running total. I do this by simply inserting the number "5" by each cell containing each task. Instead of inserting the value, what I'd prefer to do is simply place my cursor, click the mouse button, and have a formattable check mark appear with a hidden value of "5". I'm simply trying to create a snazzy interface. Do I want too much? Or is it actually possible to do this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file with a column (I) which lists the total number of businesses in a different tab (DATA) that meet certain restrictions (these restrictions being listed in the same row in different cells). When the cell under coluimn "I" is double-clicked, it pulls the businesses from tab DATA that meet the restrictions for that row and shows them all in another tab.
I don't know the person that created this and was wondering if there is a way to figure out what is being done to make this happen? I looked in macros, but didn't see anything relating to this. Anyone know how this is done?
So you know, I have tried double-clicking other cells, but nothing happens - not even editing into the cell (altho this can be done from the toolbar up top).
I have a menu structure in place so when a user clicks a button, it opens a Userform as a menu. The only problem i have is that if the user doesnt want to use that menu, and clicks on the spreadsheet, it doesnt dissapear.
Is there any VBA code that anyone knows that when a user clicks on the spreadsheet, or even just clicks their mouse anywhere (ie other menus at the top, spreadsheet, desktop) like a mouseout code on HTML so the menu will dissapear?
A list box selection works fine on my computer but on a friends Windows Vista PC the following happens:
Selecting items near the top of the list works fine. 1/4 of way down a mouse click on an item selects the Next item.
1/2 of the way down in the list, the mouse click on an item selects the one 2 or 3 further down, etc., etc.
it would be possible to have text disappear after being displayed in Excel for a while.
My son and I played around with games (helping create a photographic memory, I told the youngster!) on the thing and until yesterday neither of us noticed that clicking the mouse anywhere (actually just clicking it) causes the screen to "freeze" while the code still happily erases the text in the background.
Hitting ESC allows the screen to cath up to the actual code EVEN THOUGH the ESC key is actually disabled from breaking the code.
I'm using code based on the following post: Add Borders To Cells Of Spreadsheet From Access. That code was developed for a relatively small recordest. I am using the same coding style to transfer a recordset that has roughly 2000 records in it. Since this is all taking place over a network there is a period of time (about 15-20 seconds) where Excel is open and the user is watching the cells get populated from Access. If, during that period of time when Excel is open, the user clicks in a cell during the population of data, it stops the process and causes an error on the Access end (Error 50290: Application-defined or object-defined error). Is there a way I can prevent user input (perhaps prevent signals from the keyboard and mouse) until after the data has been transferred? I know this is a long way to do a TransferSpreadsheet command but I like the way the column headers get formatted as well as the column sizes. I also think it's pretty cool to watch the data populate as it goes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two sheets that contain data and I have to switch between them all the time, and I thought I could make it easy by assigning the "switch" to a macro. I am now looking to assign that macro so a single button, like the "`" key. I have tried various pieces of code but none of them worked.I think something like the below may work but I don't know how to start.

If Sheets("Sheet2") is active, then call switch 1, to switch back.
I've just inherited a load of Excel files I need to continue using, but my predecessor has done something that disables the middle-click scroll ability.
I can still scroll up and down by turning the wheel, but I want to be able to click it and scroll in all directions at speed - I didn't realise how much I used this until I couldn't. Can't see anything in the VBA sheet properties, and they are all .xlsx files. Nothing leaps out of the settings either. If I create a new file or a file of mine within the same session, they work fine.
what code I can put behind a button so that once I click on that button,
What ever cell i click on, the whole row of that cell will be colored a certain color.
Is this where i would used a target approach?
I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range
[Code]....
However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.
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 have a Macro Button which overlaps the cell G2 (a merged cell)...
is it possible that "when Press Enter Key on cell G2 then Launh a Macro.
or
when press space bar on cell G2 then Launch macro"... Macro is same as the Macro Button that overlaps G2...
this would prove to be a faster way than using a mouse to click on a macro button.
