Set Focus Not Working On TextBox After After Update
Mar 30, 2014
I am creating an Add Contact form. There is a checkbox for Individual (if left unticked then contact is a business entity - not an individual).
If Individual = True and If the txtNameFirst control has no value in it Then after the end user tabs away from the txtNameLastRegistered, the form should SetFocus on the txtNameFirst textbox (entry for this field is mandatory only if the contact is an individual - otherwise this field is made invisible)
But it is not working. I tick chkIndividual, I enter a name in txtNameLastRegistered, I tab away, code is called from txtNameLastRegistered_AfterUpdate (which includes the SetFocus code) but the form appears without focus in any of the controls!
I am using the following code to validate text entry in Textbox1 of a userform. I want that if the user enters a numeric value than a msgbox should popup and then cursor should get focus on Textbox1. But with this code, it is setting focus on textbox2 and not on textbox1.
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) If IsNumeric(TextBox1.Text) Then MsgBox "Please enter TEXT value only.", vbInformation + vbOKOnly TextBox1.SetFocus End Sub
I'm trying to set the focus back to the field that triggers an AfterUpdate event.
Private Sub myField_AfterUpdate() myfield.SetFocus End Sub
Code above sets the focus to the next field in the taborder instead of keeping the focus on the field (that didn't pass the validation) that triggered the AfterUpdate event.
On the summary page click on 'Enter Sale' and notice that Customer Advisor' text box gets the focus and the cursor is flashing. (Which is what I want). Enter any name and a sale value (say 'A' and '1') and click the 'OK' button But when I tried to enter another sale the OK button still had the focus. So in the VBA Project / Forms / frm_sale / OK Click event - near the bottom I added a set focus before the 'frm_sale.hide' - This removed the focus from the 'OK' box - but the cursor is still not in the text box, and it needs to be clicked in order to enter text. This is clearly something trivial I am missing - but the blinkers are on and I cant spot it
I have SS that I have 3 levels of users using/viewing data and at the moment it does not allow for errors when inputing password & sheet number to access. What I need is that if there is an error in password or sheetnumber ths user gets the choice to re-enter correct data with vbYesNo or similar. The problem I have is with these lines of code not getting the focus back to txtSheet to re-enter correct data (>0 & <13).
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim shtNo As Integer Dim R 'Response to msgbox Dim rS As String Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString Msg = "Please enter a number 1-12." ' Define message. Style = vbYesNo ' Define buttons. Title = "Choose Month" ' Define title. rS = Range("Scode").Value 'Staff password Application. ScreenUpdating = False If Not (txtSheet.Value > 0 And txtSheet.Value < 13) Then Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title).....................
I'm creating a userform for editing membership records of a small organisation. So I want the focus to default to textbox tboxFind which is used for searching the data.
I've put tboxFind first in the tab order, and in subroutine Userform_Initialize, the last line is tboxFind.SetFocus
Using Excel2000 on Windows Vista, it works OK.
Opening the same workbook in Excel2000 on WinXP, no textbox has the focus when the form opens, but once the user has started to use the form, the focus defaults back to tboxFind, as it should.
So why is the focus not where it should be when the form opens in WinXP?
I am trying to SetFocus on a single textbox in a simple form. I am not sure if I am doing it right.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
' On Error Resume Next
' Dim rheadings, cl As Range ' ' Set rheadings = Worksheets("CONTACT").Range("A1:F1") ' For Each cl In rheadings ' Me.cbxSearchWhere.AddItem cl.Value ' Next cl
With Me tbxSearchCrit.SetFocus End With End Sub
Kind regards, Mentor Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Hi: I answered my own query - just commented out the setfocus instruction and it defaults to the first, and only, textbox by default
I've set a validation within my userform to force the user to enter in a valid employee ID or a general kiosk #. The validation is working, but the setFocus line I have added to place the cursor back in the textbox in the event the value entered was incorrect isn't working. The cursor is moving on to the next textbox making the user have to re-click on the text box in order to correct the invalid entry.
Am I placing my setFocus line in the wrong place of the code? FYI - The second setFocus is working correctly. When the user enters 9999 it directs them to the IT Ticket number text box. Prior to me moving the textbox, the cursor would jump all other text boxes to allow the user to enter in a ticket number within the ticket number box after entering 9999 within the PERNR text box.
I'm having some trouble setting up my Userform. It's used for someone to insert a password to open up some sheets. I have it working except for 2 problems.
First off it gets started by a sub which has a shortcut key, CTRL + W.
When it opens I would like the TextBox to be ready to be typed on... and I would like the submit button ready for Enter. So when it opens, you just type in the password really quick and press enter without using the mouse at all.
The TextBox starts on the first try, but when I press cancel and then open the UserForm up again, then the cancel command is still selected and I have to select on the textbox.
There is 3 things on this userform... TextBox1, CommandButton1, CommandButton2. All I want is for the TextBox always to show up ready for typing, and the Submit(CommandButton1) to always be ready to press enter.
When the workbook opens, sheet 1 is selected. There is an activex textbox on sheet 1 that should receive focus.
using "textbox1.setfocus" or textbox1.activate" does not accomplish what I need. I have also applied this the setfocus and activate to the worksheet open event but without success.
VB:
Private Sub workbook_open() Worksheets("regular sku").Select TextBox1.SetFocus Worksheets("regular sku").ScrollArea = "I1:T36" End Sub
As part of a UserForm I am Validating and Formatting in one pass. The problem I'm having is that when the Validation fails, I get the error message, and the focus moves on to the next text box.
I want to trap the user in a loop until they have acceptable data
Im just starting to learn the VBA process with Excel, this problem is probably very basic so forgive me.
I have a cell in excel that is linked to a textbox, if you add text to the textbox it will update the cell. If you close and reopen the application you need to click the textbox to show the value previously added to the cell, can this be viewed automatically.
The code below works really great which Andy helped me with, but now I've put the textboxes that are changing in a frame. That is because I need to scroll the textboxes. That works in another form I've got, but for this form I've also got the textbox, TBSum601, which is updated from the sub UpdateTotal() (see below). BSum601 is placed on the form but not inside the frame. When I run the application it stops in Sub TxtGroup_Change() at the line: TxtGroup.Parent.UpdateTotal I think it's because of that the textboxes for the TxtGroup now are in a frame instead of as before, on the form. don't know exactly what the "Parent" does, but I think it's something I have to do with the code there.

This is for a VBA TextBox (Not Worksheet). I have two text boxes, both are going to have dates. Textbox1 a user will enter a date; example 10/22/08 or 10-22-08 or 10-22-2008 etc, TextBox2 will get that date and add seven days.
I am working on a addin UserForm to quickly format cell text, especially only select characters in a cell. I have this functional in a modal setting working with the active cell when I activate the UserForm. What I would like to be able to do is to work in excel without having to close the Userform and have the textbox update with each new cell. I have changed the UserForm properties to ShowModal = false which gets the first half. However the textbox will only show the cell value I started with.
VB: Private Sub UserForm_Activate() TextBox1.Text = ActiveCell End Sub
A text box on a Userform inputs numbers to a cell in a worksheet. I want the number to appear in the text box formatted #,##0.00 However, if I include the line
in either the csDepositTextBox_Change or _AfterUpdate events, it causes the number to be stored as text in the worksheet. Curiously I can put the code in the corresponding event for another textbox and it does not corrupt the formatting.
I have two text boxes on a userform that are used to populate a label caption based on the textbox values. How do I set the label caption to update once a a textbox value is changed?
Need VBA macro to read and sum data from multiple worksheets
The “summary” worksheet contains list of all employees. I need to update the total number of hours for each employee by scanning all worksheets in the workbook as follows:
Once I click on a "update" button, I need to scan all worksheets (I have one worksheet for each week) which contains the total number of hours for employees by week. I need to calculate and add the total number of working hours for each employee then move to the next worksheet and so on ..
Once all worksheets are all scanned, the final total of working hours get posted in front of the employee name in the assigned field.. I need to do this for all employees. I also need a macro to create a new worksheet.. I attached an example with little description inside .. Labor Detail Job to Date-2.xlsx
I have a UserForm which enables the user to input sales figures for each month for 5 years.
At the bottom of each year is the total box.
At the moment it only sums the 12 months when each month has a figure in it. Sometimes the user only needs to enter, lets say, 4 months figures and the total box doesn't work. It also doesn't sum as data is entered i.e. it only adds them up when all 12 months TextBoxes have a number in them.
Can I literally make it as simple as it would be on a normal worksheet i.e. =SUM(A1:A12) ??
Here is my code that is 'in' each month's TextBox
[Code] .....
End Sub
The total box itself - txtY1Total - doesn't have any code in it.
I am working on a "Salary Payment voucher excel Userform".
How can i do it, if i don't want manually fill in the number of working days into the textbox myself, Can i have the userform to automatically fill in the number of days when i initialize the userform.
I need to write some code to update a label everytime the textbox data is edited. I have this code so far but it is returning an object error. NineV refers to the text box and and ninelabel refers to the label. This is the code:
Code: Private Sub NineV_change() Dim nivevalue As Integer ninevalue = (((GP / 31.1035) * 0.255) * NineV.Text) NineLabel.Caption = "£" & ninevalue End Sub
Despite setting the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt/Don't display the alert and update links" option numerous times, my workbook still prompts me to update links every time I open it. The option seems to be set okay (it is preset whenever I go into the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt" dialog), but it doesn't seem to affect the workbook's startup behaviour. The workbook contains a ComboBox control that is initialized with customer names from another workbook, which is included in the References for this main workbook.
I am using Excel 2003 (from Office Pro 2003) under Windows XP (SP1). I believe this used to work without the prompt when I was working on this app last fall (I'm not sure, as my memory of specific behaviours back that far is fuzzy). However, it has been persistently prompting ever since I started working on this app again this spring/summer. Was there perhaps a bad fix to Office 2003 (that I automatically applied) that broke this feature?
I'm using the following code to try to ensure a value is entered into a text box, but when I click over to the next text box skipping the first one entirely, I don't receive any message indicating the previous box is empty. I'm trying to make it so certain fields are required and others are optional. Here's the code I'm currently using:
I'm trying to write a macro that filters a table via textbox (criteria), specifying the column to filter through a combobox. I managed to get it to work with every format (date, text, etc.) except with numbers. I'm attaching the file so you can take a look at the code.
If I have a column containing numbers but the cells have text format and I reformat those cells to numbers (using points to separate thousands [I'm from Venezuela, we use dots, not commas]) the results aren't visible unless I modify each cell individually. How can I avoid this?
Lastly, I'm using a macro that I found online that sets invisible shapes on each cell of the header and asigns another macro to these shapes to sort by ascending or descending order in the column over which the shape is put. I made some changes to the macro that actually sorts the values and it works fine, but sometimes I have to resize the shape (on the left side) so that it's further inside the cell or else I'll get an error.
EDIT: It doesn't work with dates either!
EDIT2: I tried copying the table and the codes to a new workbook and now magically it works with numbers, but still not working for dates. Also I'm still having to resize the invisible shape (only in header of the first column ('C')) and the changes in format still aren't visible unless I modify each cell. I think this last issue has something to do with 'SortOneTime' macro or the 'Ordenar' macro because it happens after I run them.
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!!!
I have the following code which copies specified cells from one sheet to the next available row on another sheet. I would like to keep the next available row somewhere near center focus on the display. Can I use the variable 1Row to do this, or maybe 1Row plus or minus 20 depending on how I want it displayed on the screen?
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
