Changing Default Text In Textbox

Apr 10, 2014

I am developing a form to get the user's name. I want to put some default text in the textbox where the user types their name. I want the form to delete the default text when the user clicks on the text box or after they start typing their name.

Attached is the form and code that runs the form : UserName.xlsm‎

Remove TextBox Default Text

Jan 29, 2008

Hopefully a really simple query:

I have a userform with numerous Textboxes and comboboxes for user input - however the end users aren't too PC savvy and I'm ending up capturing "Please Enter NameJohn Smith", "Please Enter Job TitleSales Manager" etc. My original Instructions told them to tab their way through the form, meaning each time they reached a TextBox their input would overwrite the ("Please Enter x") string prompting them for input.

Is there any way to replicate this "select all" on click (globally as there are potentially 50 to 100 textboxes and 12 varients of the form)?

Penfold Auto Merged Post;OK so I've made a little progress:

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
TextBox1.SelStart = 0
TextBox1.SelLength = Len(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub

The above selects all the text in a textbox - I think I need to apply this to the textbox "on click" - however that could be achieved? Then it needs to be generalised - ie:

UserForm1.Controls("Textbox" & variant)

Edit Textbox Value Even After Assigning Default Value?

Mar 17, 2012

i am trying to achieve this in the form that currently has Record navigation buttons...

I have Form with 3 TextBoxes. The first 2 textboxes are edited by the user, but the 3rd textbox depends (It can be edited or might not be)...

I have added the default value under change event of textbox3 as textbox3.value="Pipes"

Currently the user cannot overwrite this value (Pipes)... I need to somehow overwrite this value if required, else, the same value should be retained after clicking New button...

Userform - Default Textbox Values Based On Textbox1's Value

Mar 5, 2010

I have a userform with 10 textboxes which will all contain a time in HH:MM format. Could I have the userform to fill the textboxes with a default value once a time has been entered into textbox1. I would like the default value to be the time from the previous textbox plus 30 mins.

eg. So if I enter 14:00 into textbox1 I would like textbox2 to display 14:30, textbox3 to display 15:00.

If this is possible, could I add a Listbox with the options 1 to 10. Then would I be able to only uses the textboxes based on the number selected in the listbox. So if I selected 2 then just Textbox1 and Textbox2 would have values in them. For 8 being selected then Textboxes 1 through to 8 would be filled.

Adding Text From One Userform Textbox To Another Textbox

Oct 12, 2011

Code:
Private Sub cmdSearchButton_Click()
Dim txtbox As String 'stores lookup value
Dim x As Variant 'value for wwid txt box
Dim ForeName As String
Dim SurName As String
Dim wwid As Variant
Dim iPosition As Integer

[Code] .......

Here is my code, it does a vlookup and if the persons name is not found it will split the text entered into forename and surname but when i try and add

Code:
frmAdd.txtForename.Text = "&ForeName &"
frmAdd.txtSurname.Text = "&SureName &"

It actually displays &ForeName & in the text box of the next from rather than what ForeName is..

eg. John Smith -> search button -> user not found msg -> user wants to add user -> string is split into forename and surname -> forename = John , surname = Smith -> display this in the second form.

What code should i be using to do this, i thought that &ForeName & would work.

Filling Textbox With Values From Another Textboxes With Default Values

Nov 22, 2012

I have a userform containing 3 textboxes, to calculate derivatives.

User enters two integers in textbox1 and textbox2; and to textbox 3, I need to transfer these values but with a little issue.

For example, user entered 3 to textbox1 and 5 to textbox2. In textbox 3, it needs to show 3x^5.
For example, user entered 7 to textbox1 and 2 to textbox2. In textbox 3, it needs to show 7x^2.

So "x" and "^" are our defaults in textbox3.I tried to transfer the numbers that the user enters to cells A1 and A2, -I don't know if this works- but I don't know how to call them to change the text in the textbox.

Use Variable As Default Value For Text Box / Spin Button

Oct 3, 2007

to plug a variable (integer) into a text box / spin button as its default value.

I have a sheet set up for data entry where 1 row = 1 record = 1 page (of data arranged to print on a form supplied by an outside company). This data is then arranged on the second sheet (up to a maximum of 30).

If there are there are 15 records entered on the spreadsheet on a given day I am trying to use:
LastNum = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("G7:G37")) + 4
Where LastNum is the number of rows / entrys that have been typed into the first sheet and that will be printed by default.

how to get that variable into the text box / spin button control.

Excel 2010 :: Changing Default Text Box Settings?

Sep 5, 2012

When I place a text box in Excel 2010, the default is for everything to be locked (Box is locked AND text is locked). I want to change the default setting so that when I start Excel fresh, anytime I place a text box the "LOCK TEXT" box is UNCHECKED.

There's a place where you can select "Set as default text box") after you make the changes, but it's not sticking (even in the same document without closing. IE, I make the changes to a text box, then click the option that says "Set as default text box", place a NEW text box immediately in the same document but the text is still locked.

Formatting TextBox And Check Which TextBox Is The Active TextBox In The Loop

May 18, 2006

I am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")

If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!

Automatically Fit TextBox To Text

Jul 28, 2006

I have a textbox showing 7 lines of words.

When it is shown in my computer, everything looks fine.

When I use another computer, the lines in the textbox could be shown completely since the height of the textbox is not enough to show the whole text. I guess it is because the resolution of the screen is different.

How can I let the text be shown completely in a textbox even on different computers?

Number In TextBox Seen As Text

Oct 4, 2007

I am trying to manipulate a stock list using a Userform to simplify the UI.

Problem:

The idea is to allow the user to enter data via the Userform which works fine until we need to do calculations. The spreadsheet contains calculations which use the cost and margin data input via the Userform. The formula results are then supposed to display via the Userform. The problem is that the spreadsheet calculation is overwritten when the save/update button on the Userform is clicked. I understand why this is happening, but I am unable to fix it.
