Screen Flickers On Selection Change Event?

Mar 9, 2012

My screen flickers when I use the following code.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim WTH As Long
If Target.Row = 19 Then
WTH = 1
End If
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
If I comment out the code, my screen doesn't flicker.

In the "Tmp = 1" line I was using the special cells method to color constants red (without selecting anything). When I use that code instead of the "Tmp=1" line, it takes about a second to change cells, and I see the "4 Processors Calculating Message" in Excel when the code fires--even if it's not in row 19.

Query Tables And Screen Flickers

May 9, 2012

No, this is not about ScreenUpdating = True/False

Neither is it because you've turned SU off, and then used 'Select' or 'DoEvents' etc in your code.

When running an update for a QueryTable (once a second), 3 'buttons' (activeX image controls with code behind them) flicker - though I see no reference to selecting and/or screenupdating in my code

Is this purely something about refreshing a querytable that I can't fix?

Is there a subclass or API call I can intercept to stop drawing the images alone?

Code:

Public Sub ActivateConn()

Dim strFilespec As String
Dim strConn As String
Dim sqlStr As String

Set RecSet = New ADODB.Recordset

[Code] .....

In short, there's no REASON why I couldn't just use the selection_change event to fire the same macros as the buttons but... well... it doesn't look anywhere near as good (I have a thing about making VB apps look as good as the code behind them is smart)

Run Selection Change Event Only If The Row Selection Changes

Mar 26, 2007

I'm using the following code in a worksheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
col = ActiveCell.Column
Range("output") = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -(col - 4)).Value
End Sub

In case it's not obvious, the macro places the value in the active row and 4th column of the worksheet into the range "output".
The problem is, the worksheet is large and somewhat slow to recalculate. This macro forces a recalc on any selection change, but i only need it to run when the row selection changes, not the column.
I'm sure there's a straightforward way to reprogram this.

Worksheet Selection Change Event Not Triggered

Mar 5, 2009

I am using Excel 2007, and I have a macro (that is working) that I would like to run whenever there has been a new selection in a dropdown list on my worksheet. I have done this many times before in other workbooks, and I have always used:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

To my knowledge this should trigger the macro when the dropdown selection changes. However, this time it is not working. The macro runs fine manually, but it does not run when the dropdown selection changes.

Stop Selection Change Event Firing When More Than 1 Cell

Oct 12, 2007

I've set up code where when a cell within a specified range of cells is selected, a macro will run. This works all well and good except for when a whole row, column or range containing the defined cells is selected, there is a run time error. There is no situation where I want multiple cells selected to run the macro, so I only want to run the macro when only a single cell within that range is selected.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange")) Is Nothing Then
Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter"
End If

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange2")) Is Nothing Then
Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter"
End If
End Sub

The ranges defined are non-contigious ranges.

Excel 2010 :: Selection Change Event On Text Inside Textbox?

Jun 10, 2014

As part of a program I'm writing in VBA (for Excel 2010), I have a textbox in a user form used as an interface to write a formula in cells in Excel.The resulting value of a formula from a cell is loaded up into the textbox. It would be shown in the textbox like "See 1.2 and 1.3" where the formula in the cell is

[Code].....

This is just used as an example but the principle is there. It is worth noting that I’m writing this for very inexperienced Excel users but I need them to be able to edit the string part of the formula without breaking the formula.

However where I’m struggling is to pick up a selection change event inside a text box already selected. I need to be able to check if the textbox.SelStart is within an address value or within the string in the textbox.

The event Enter won’t work if the user is already editing the textbox (i.e. typing stuff) and then clicking or using the keyboard arrow to move the cursor somewhere else inside the textbox. I don’t think the event Change is the solution either as it would mean that the user would have already typed something and as a result the formula may already be broken.

I have had a good look around and I didn’t find an event for a selection change inside a textbox. Does it exists and/or is there a way that would have the same result?

Excel 2013 :: VBA - Trigger Event On Print Screen

Jun 27, 2014

I have a project report, which is user-configurable, allowing the user to customise the data that is displayed based on a number of parameters.

To ensure the report always prints neatly (the number of visible columns and rows varies, depending on the above parameters), so I have a macro that dynamically sets the print area of the worksheet.

At present, I call the macro from the workbook.beforeprint event, which works fine in terms of printing. Ideally however, I would like the macro to be called when CTRL+P is first pressed - i.e. the resulting 'print screen', containing a preview of the print out should reflect what will subsequently be printed, when the 'Print' button is then pressed.

I am not sure if this makes sense (Excel 2010 and 2013 are different from previous versions).

Worksheet Change Event :: (ByVal Target As Range) Event In Module After Creating A Sheet

Mar 27, 2009

Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

Automatic Selection Of Choices On Screen?

Dec 12, 2013

I am writing a simple application that allows users to enter an item ID and execute a find. If the data is found, the UserForm populates with the pertinent data for the requested ID otherwise a message indicates Item not on file. The file being interrogated is an Excel workbook with multiple functions, unrelated to my task.

The problem: When my application opens the workbook to perform the Find, the screen displays a message generated by Excel, informing the user that the workbook contains links to other data sources and requesting to choose to either Update or Don't Update those links.

I used the Application.DisplayAlerts=False line but it has no effect on above. The choice I always make is Don't Update and the macro continues to the end without further ados.

Is there a way to either cancel such a screen request or automatically select a given option?

Change Event Causing Event To Fire Again

Aug 7, 2006

I have the following code, which works perfectly:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim TotalDays As Integer

TotalDays = Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1

The code points to the next blank cell so the user can input a value. Each time the user enters a value I want to re-run the code so that the colour of the cell changes.

However I also want to perform various calculations on the sheet. However this means the sheet is being changed and so continually repeats my code.

How do I add the following, to my previous code?

Range("E8").Value = Cells(7, 6) * 2.5

Worksheet Change Event Triggered By Formula Change?

Dec 6, 2011

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.

My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.

Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.

how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?

Worksheet_Change Event Wont Fire When Target Changed By ListBox Selection

Dec 5, 2008

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("R1C1")) Is Nothing Then
'do something
End If
End Sub

Now, that Private Sub works fine if you change the value of R1C1 manually or from another macro.

But if R1C1 is the cell linked to a list box, nothing will happen if you change its value by selecting different items in the list box.

Colors Doesn't Change Anymore After Screen Flicker Fix

Apr 17, 2009

I attached 2 examples. The first one is before the screen flickering fix I got from Andy Pope. The second is when I added the fix. When you open Example List 1 and you enter 0 at E180, the screen will flicker, but it will change (red) Watching to (green) Planning to Watch in G180.

When you open Example List 2 and you enter 0 at E180, the screen doesn't flicker anymore. The status Watching in G180 still changes to Planning to Watch, but it stays red while it has to become green. How can I have the color changes and no screen flickering? Marco:

Tab Key Change Event

Apr 19, 2009

I have a user input box (VBA) with two columns of data entry. The leftmost column has text boxes labeled color1, color2, color3, etc.. The rightmost column has text boxes labeled tag1, tag2, tag3, etc..

I have the TAB sequence set to go from color1 to tag1, color2 to tag2, color3to tag3, etc..

A user can inadvertently tab over the color1 (or color2, etc. columns) into the tag1 (or tag 2, etc. columns) column without entering data in the color column.

Is there coding to allow a TAB key entry to be a Change Event such that, if a user TABS out of color1 without entering data, a MsgBox could signal that they must enter data in the color1 field before they can continue?

Alternately, can you suggest a different approach? The goal is to require an entry in the leftmost column (color1) before they can proceed to the tag1 field. Of course, they are given a "Cancel" option.

Change Event And VLookup

Sep 29, 2009

I've been searching all over and can not figure this out as from my limited knowledge it should work. I have two sheets (A & B) and on Sheet A an employee inputs a job number into column B and what I then want to happen is have column D populate automatically with the clients address. This client address is located in Sheet B. I figured the best way to do this was to use a combination of the 'Change Event' method and VLookup utilising a bit of VBA, but I just cant get it to work - I keep getting a #Name? error.

Not Recognizing New Value On Change Event

Jun 7, 2007

In a Worksheet On Change event I am trying to obtain a new value that the user has placed into a particular cell.

However, when I get to the line of code that reads the value in that particular cell, it is pulling the value that was in the cell prior to the change. When I view the sheet I can see the new value. When I do a debug.print or ? in the Immediate Window it shows the prior value.
