Textbox Text Increases In Size With Click
Jan 27, 2008
I am using Excel 2003 on Windows XP, and I have created a form using several TextBox controls on Worksheets (not userforms). When I click on a textbox that has some text in it, the size of the text grows. Clicking away from it, and then clicking on it again causes the text to grow further. Repeating these actions ultimately causes the text to be so large that the contents are illegible. There is no VBA code manipulating the font in the controls, they are only set initially through the settings in their properties (all textboxes use the same font). The problem occurs on multi-line as well as single-line textboxes. In debug mode, I can see that the font.size has not changed from the initial setting of 9, so there is no manipulation of the settings. It looks like the control is being zoomed, as the size of the vertical scrollbar grows along with the text. Closing the file and reopening it doesn't resolve the problem. The textbox retains the size that it has grown to. This problem seems to happen on some environments and not others, and I have not been able to determine the cause or factors that contribute to this phenomenon.

I'm trying to Automatically fit the text to the size of the TextBox frame using:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame2
strTxt = .TextRange
.DeleteText
.WordWrap = msoTrue
.AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape
.TextRange = strTxt
End With
It appears ".AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape" only considers the width (I think) as the text is downsized but yet the text still extends beyond the the bottom of the frame. And never gets set to less than 11 point. Even when there's not enough text to reach the bottom of the frame the text is still set to 11pt leaving the frame half empty. Need to have text big as possible.
How to keep text in its entirety within the frame of the shape?
The quantity of text varies widely and the frame size cannot change. I've tried using Len() and dividing by a certain number and then based on that answer set the size with:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Normal"
.Size = NoteFontSize
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
But this technique doesn't seem reliable as the number to divide the Len() by seems to depend on how "wraps" have occured.

I have a user form on which I need to create a textbox every time the user clicks a button. There are too many to create them all in advance and make them visible when needed. The sample attached, from this forum, is good, except, the numbers in the text box just scroll along and I need to see all the text typed into my textboxes. I would like the textboxes to be multiline, wordwrap and have them resize according to the amount of text.

Is there a way to control the vertical size of a textbox, so that we could type in a List of Instructions to our operator, and the textbox would resize depending on the numbers of instructions in the box. Also the items in the cells beneath the textbox would need to move down, to allow for the resized textbox.

I have a textbox from the drawing toolbar. When someone changes a cell then clicks in the textbox, Worksheet_Change does not run. If they double click in the cell, that's OK I can capture that event and protect the sheet, stopping them clicking in it. But if they just start typing in the cell, I can't capture that. I have seen some API code which captures keypresses, but it is not practical to use as it loops repeatedly. I could lock the textbox and have the user do something to unlock it, but this is a last resort.

if there is a workaround to this issue. I have this code that transfers data to a textbox but it stops after hitting the character limit. Does anyone know how to extend this limit ?
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
With Me.Shapes("textbox1").TextFrame.Characters
.Text = .Text & Target.Value
End With
End Sub

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.

When the Go button in text box in the 'VSVA-1 Data' tab is pressed, a new tab is created. I would like the tab to be renamed after the text that is entered into the text box. Is this possible? Here is what I have so far.
VB:

tabName = TextBox1
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("VSVA Data").Select
Selection.Name = tabName

I'm trying to come up with an array formula to count the consecutive declines or increases from the last value in a column, going from bottom to top. The real world application is a list of daily stock prices down a column, and counting from the most recent day, how many consecutive days the price declined or increased.
I got some hints in the following post but can't get it evaluate the resulting logical array in reverse order (which is needed since column addresses are evaluated top to bottom, not bottom to top).
Count consecutive increase in values
Example for consecutive increases leading to last value
49
50
51
52
53
49
55
56
I need a formula to return 2, the number of increases from 49 to 56.

In sheet 1 of my workbook I have a spreadsheet with lots of different data, most of this data is pulled from our own internal process books.
The problem I need help with is,
Cell "A5" contains a storage tank level.
Cell "A6" contains the date the storage tank was last filled, (this info is required for auditing purposes).
If possible I would like to automate the date entry.
So when the level increases by say 2.0 I would like the new date in cell "A6". I don't want that date to change if the level stops the same or decreases. So the date will not change again until the storage tank has been emptied and refilled.

I have a sheet with four listboxes on it. All four have their source on the "Lookup" tab - Lookup is very hidden and is zoomed at 100%. Every once in a blue moon, the text in the four listboxes will shrink to be very tiny. The listboxes themselves will stay the same size, but the text inside shrinks.
Starts off looking like this:[url]
Somehow ends up looking like this: [url]
I compared the two pictured files and the properties of the listboxes were totally identical for both.
Each time this has happened, it's always been on someone else's computer (fifty people each use a copy of this file), so I don't have many clues as what is going on when this happens... Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this from happening, or how to restore a file like this instead of replacing it?

The following is the macro I have created, but I can't get it to loop. I need to insert a row below Labour-Overtime about 100 times in the document, not just once. Until the bottom. Also, active cell 1013 needs to be the same as what is above it. The series repeats and goes up by 1 every time. Not sure how to get that to work.

I want to make a dynamic chart that grows as the data increases
The data is from C23:O23 (12 Columns)
The Months are from C22:O22 (12 Months)
I am only on month 4 (April) but this will eventually but 12 months
Looking at various sites you have to use a dynamic named range and in the Refers box drop in an OFFSET formula.
My problem is I cannot figure out an OFFSET formula for columns instead of rows.

I have a capital lease amortization schedule with annual increases to monthly rent that I am trying to solve for an interest rate such that the balance nets to zero at the end of the term. I am calculating on a monthly basis; in other words, principal minus monthly payment plus monthly interest expense equals ending monthly balance is calculated in each row each month. The present value is known, payment term is known, future value is zero, and the payment amounts increase annually. These assumptions may change for new leases so ideally the solution would be dynamic, adjusting for shorter/longer terms, etc. Here is an example of my assumptions:
Payment start date: 8/1/13
Term end date: 10/31/2025
Rent length in months: 144
1st months rent: $500,000 - payments are due at the beginning of the month and are paid monthly
Annual rent escalation: 3% - i.e. 1st 12 months is $500k/month, 2nd 12 months at $515K, etc.
Beginning NPV: $75M
Ending value: $0
Imputed annual interest rate: UNKNOWN
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the monthly payment is allocated between principal and interest. Monthly interest expense is calculated as the current balance * (imputed interest rate / 12).
Currently, I've plugged the interest rate such that my ending balance is 0, however I was hoping to calculate it on the fly as opposed to manually plugging it.
how to calculate annual interest rate with these inputs? Is there a way to make the rate function work with payment increases?

Before i start and to save you time looking at my profile, i am using excel 2010. So i have one worksheet with loads and loads of Combo boxes (form control) that are linked to a cell on another sheet and that sheet uses the linked cell along with a index and match formula in one to fetch data from a range for my chart. So based on the selection of the combo box option the chart changes.
My question is how do i change the size of the text in the Combo boxes (form control)? Is there any VBA to do this? .Font.Size?
If not i don't mind changing all my boxes to Combo boxes (activeX control), but i do have over 100 so what would be the best and fastest way to change all my current Combo boxes (form control) to Combo boxes (activeX control) whilst keeping everything the same so it all still functions. Maybe some more VBA? Plus i also need to be able to change the size in the new Combo boxes (activeX control) as well so telling me how would be splendid.

I have a single figure and as the figure increases and moves through thresholds the pay changes. e.g.
Number of sales payable = 15.66
Level 1: 1-10 pays 100 for each that falls in this threshold
Level 2:11-15 pays 150 for each that falls in this threshold
Level 3: 16-20 pays 200 for each that falls in this threshold
Level 4: 21+ pays 250 for all above this
I want to work the amount payable with a formula.
It should be $1849
Is there a formula that can calcualte this without me manually figuring out how many in each threshold.

I was just wondering if it possible to create a macro that permanently increases the height of a workbook by a set increment
I have several workbooks that i have the code below assigned to
[Code] ......
So when they open they resize to that set size and position. and what ive been doing if i need to resize (which is often) is just adjust the values in the above code.
Not that the way ive been doing it is difficult but i was thinking how great it would be if i could have a macro i could run that permanently adds 9 to the .Height and subtracts 9 from the .Top
