User Form Event Calls

if you can prevent an event macro from running at will.

The problem is occuring when I have a userfrom with various controls, and the change of one control triggers an event macro that changes other controls, this then in turn triggers further control change macros.

I have tried altering the macro name to things like optionbutton1_change, select, enter etc.

The only other way around it I can think of is to introduce a binary variable, but that will mean ensuring it os always the right value and then coding an IF statement on each event macro.

Therefore, I'm thinking there must be an easier way, some kind of switch ??? Something that says ignore any event macro when the control is changed as a result of different event macro.

- I'll include a small example below just to clarify what I am talking about.


private sub optionbutton1_click()

userform1.textbox1.value = "Test Change"

end sub

private sub textbox1_change()

msgbox "Change taken place"

end sub

What I am trying to achieve is getting excel to ignore the second macro when the control is changed by another macro rather than a user entry.
