I am working with a VBA userform and several textbox's, setting SetFocus and or TabIndex doesn't leave the box ready to accept input and there is no cursor shown to indicate it is ready to accept input.
View 2 Replieshow to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?

What I am trying to do is copy the data from F(whatever) to whatever

create buttons for the macro to run, and it could copy the information
in that particular row.
is there a control for placing the cursor at the beginning of a large amount of text in a userform testbox.
evertime i run the userform the cursor is at the last entry so the user has to scoll up to read?
To accomplish whats in the title, I tried (and think I used successfully previously) the following
With tbfind
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Value)
.SetFocus
End With
Some details, i have a userform named Findform, a textbox in it named tbFind, and the above code is in the userform initialization event section.
Oh also, I dont get any error, everything runs just fine, its just the cursor is not inside the textbox waiting for typing in it. (but i do think it is the focus, when i press tab it goes to the next one in the tab order)
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 have a choice of 9 command buttons on a form that enter a short string of text into a textbox. Each button enters a different string into the textbox. The string is the prefix to a product serial number. Once the user has clicked the button & entered his preferred prefix I would like the cursor to be flashing after the last character ready for the user to manually type in the remainder of the product serial number. I'm guessing (with my limited ability) that I have to create a function to do this & then call the function when the button is clicked ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my user form, the cursor blinks in the second text box down.
How do I change it to be blinking in the first (top) text box? This is the first box that data will be entered.
Is this an option in the properties box of the textbox?
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.
I'm talking about the little black box that appears anytime you put the mouse on a cell, or drag the mouse around a group of cells - mine doesn't show up. I can still edit the cell, but I have to guess about which cell I am on.
how to make my dear cursor reappear?
I try to move the cursor using the keyboard arrows it stays on the cell it is on and the whole spreadsheet page moves across the screen in the direction of the arrow. So how do I restore cursor movement to the arrows.

I've created a scrollable frame with dynamically added controls and have started creating their events in a class module.
Here is the problem I now face. If I create for example a label at design time I can click on the MouseIcon property and navigate to the "hand.cur" file I have.When dynamically creating the label control I have been able to reference to the file by using:
Code:
.MouseIcon = LoadPicture(ThisWorkbook.Path & "hand.cur")
What I've now done is embed the file on a worksheet, but hat the correct syntax is to refer to it. I've come up with the following but it doesn't work:
Code:
.MouseIcon = LoadPicture(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Objects").OLEObjects("Object 1"))
Am I on the right lines or am I completely off the mark.
I received this code from the board about a month ago. It works perfectly to highlight the row the cursor is currently in but, has one flaw. Once you place this code in the sheet module and the code initiates, it will "erase all other highlight colors" within your sheet. Is there a way to correct this problem?
Here is the code;
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
With Target.EntireRow.Interior
.ColorIndex = 37
.Pattern = xlGray25
.PatternColorIndex = 24
End With
End Sub

View 6 Replies View RelatedUsually when I select a number of cells with my cursor excel adds up the cells and shows a total on the bar. It's stopped doing this now and will only show the 1st cell showing "max=No"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a simpel userform that shows sales total and it is activated [.show function] whenever an entry is made in the order column. All of this works fine.
The only problem I have is that the curser jumps in to the text box and doesn't return to the order column where next entry needs to be made.
How do you move the curser out of the userform, back to the activesheet?
Ideally it should move to the next cell for the user to make entry.
I am attaching my sample file here. It has some odd things that I was just playing around with as learning experience. But the main question is how to control the curser.

I have a workbook that contains spreadsheets that serve as input sheets to generate reports (other spreadsheeets within the workbook). I did not create user forms as I find them cumbersome to do so. Instead I formatted the input sheets to be extremely user friendly. I protected the sheets so that user can only access the unlocked cells that require inputs.
Question:
Is it possible to control the movement of the cursor by both tab and enter like is done in the user forms. The input cells are spread out in various locations on the spreadsheet - therefore, I would like to drive the direction of the cursor as to what cell to go next after an input is made and entered by either hitting the enter button or tab button.
Is there a code to make the Cursor Movement direction to be set to move Left ?

My Excel sheet is a check list inventory and is arranged in three, two column matrix.

Problem Description:
What I would like to do is enter my integer rating in a cell in a column and then automatically have the cell selection advance once to the right and then down to the next row until all the cells have been filled with there integer ratings.
I would like to do this without having to hit the enter or tab key.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want a macro which will move cursor to right cell of the same row when the user will press enter in a particular sheet of particular workbook. I have tried the ToolsoptionsEditmove selection after enter , but this applies to excel as a whole and needs to be change every time if another worksheet or workbook is used and thus creating difficulty.
Can this be done through a macro as I need the cursor to move to right cell only for a particular worksheet and for a particular workbook?
I want to move the cursor in my spreadsheet from cell to cell in a particular order. I've tried the following code, but it only works when I change the value in the cell.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Select Case Target.Address()
Case "$A$1"
Range("$F$5").Select
Case "$F$5"
Range("$B$12").Select
Case "$B$12"
Range("$A$6").Select
Case "$A$6"
Range("$A$1").Select
End Select
End Sub
I want the cursor movement to follow the same order even when I don't change the cell value, for example, when I repeatedly hit the "Enter" key without altering the existing cell value.
