VBA Code To Programmatically Click CommandButton?
Jan 4, 2013
To refresh a UserForm ListBox when new items are added, I Unload and Show the Userform as part of the procedure.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
'do stuff
'do some more stuff
'do a few more things
'finish doing stuff
Unload Me
UserForm2.Show
This returns the UserForm to its Initialized state and displays the refreshed list.
But, this requires the user to click CommandButton6 to continue adding additional items. If CommandButton4 code could click CommandButton6, the UserForm would Show in its "add item" state...I think. Is there a way to programmatically click a CommandButton?
I've already tried 8,321 ways without success...(OK, maybe only 4 ways)

I am working with a large legacy file/program which has a lot of issues. Foremost, and unfortunately this cannot be changed, is that all of the controls were placed directly on the worksheets instead of on Userforms. The actual code from the legacy file is excessively complicated, so I created this simple example. Sheet1 has one textbox and one command button. Sheet 2 is blank. I want to be able to click the command button or use the Enter key on the command button, to trigger the Click Event. Clicking works fine. When using Enter, if Sheet2.Activate is commented, everything works fine. If Sheet2.Activate is executed, then Excel crashes.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Dim bBackwards As Boolean
Select Case KeyCode
'Only look for tab, return, down arrow, up arrow
Case vbKeyTab, vbKeyReturn, vbKeyDown, vbKeyUp
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
'Do we need to go back to previous control
bBackwards = CBool(Shift And 1) Or (KeyCode = vbKeyUp)
If bBackwards Then TextBox1.Activate Else CommandButton1.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Dim bBackwards, bForwards As Boolean
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyTab, vbKeyReturn, vbKeyDown, vbKeyUp
Application.ScreenUpdating = False...................

I have a combobox which is manually scrolled through using the down arrow key. As the different combobox items are viewed, I would like to be able to delete the currently viewed item from the list if desired by clicking on a commandbutton.
The list items are contained in the range of B2:B500. Also, since this places a gap in the list, I would like to shift the remaining cells values in column B up to close the gap.

I have a VBA procedure that I need to be able to link/attach to an excel file which is created on the fly, and I need to do this programatically / on the fly. Basically, currently from my front end app, I output the necessary data to excel, and then format that data in excel using vba code sent through OLE to excel. Right after the formatting is done, I would like to then send the necessary vba commands to excel that would take my existing VBA sub routine, link it somehow to my excel file (by inserting it as a macro?, by registering/linking it as a .bas file?, any other options/ideas?), and then give the user a button or shortcut in the excel file that will run that VBA sub routine.
The underlined part above is my main goal here, and I already have the rest covered. I know there is more than one solution for this, but I would prefer a solution that allows me to store the vba code in the excel file itself, so that I only need to distribute the .xls file whenever I want to deploy this spreadsheet somewhere new.

I have a very complex report with a variable numbers of rows in multiple sections. I am evaluating whether to display each row with a formula in the first column (those that I don't want to display have a "H" in the first column).
The following code works fine, but it takes forever. Ideally I wanted to trigger the code on the Worksheet_Activate() event but its so inefficient that I can't do that.
VB:
On Error Goto Errorhandling
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Application.StatusBar = "Processing..."
[Code] .....

how to create commandbutton code so let me explain what I am trying to do and anyone that could provide me with some basic code details to solve my problem:
When the command button is clicked in an excel worksheet I want a pop up box to come up containing specific information sourced from two other excel worksheets depending on the commandbutton. What I want to know is what code do I enter from the visual basic view in order for the box to appear with the right information.

I'm trying to loop through several objects and fire their "Click" events, but I'm not sure how to get it to work.
Below is an example of what I was trying to do. There are 3 objects with the name "CommandButton(1-3)".
Private Sub RunAll_Click()
Dim obj As Object
For i = 1 To 3
Set obj = UserForm1.Controls("CommandButton" & i)
obj_Click
Next i
End Sub

When I click on a commandbutton20 on sheet1 it moves the user from sheet1 to sheet2, hides some columns & formats the height of a row in a range of cells I will refer to as Area X. On sheet 2 I have a target condition that if the user clicks on any part of Area X it move the cursor to cell C8. What I want to accomplish is that if commandbutton20 in clicked, the target condition is suspended. otherwise the target condition works. The code I wrote is as follows. What happens when I press F5 to execute it... a macro window pops up.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("a1:x3,e4:x6")) Is Nothing Then
If Worksheets(1).CommandButton20_Click() = True Then
Exit Sub
Else: Range("c8").Select
End If
End If
End Sub

I written VBA code to create a new sheet and embed a command button on it. I want to assign a macro to this button but when I click on the button the assign macro button is greyed out. I have plenty of macros saved and the VBA code has finished running so why should this be?

code to have check marks appear in multiple non-adjacent columns in a worksheet by double clicking.
The code I am using works for a single column : (The named range "Checkboxes1" is D4:D100)
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("Checkboxes1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
[Code]......
However I also need the code to work on two other named ranges "Checkboxes2" (E4:E100) and "Checkboxes3" is G4:G100.

I have a 2 column listbox storing Policy Number and Number of pages. Suppose it has 10 records. Now I want the code so that when I double click on a particular policy number of the listbox then I should be able to make the changes in that. (it might be changing the ppolicy number or number of pages if the user types something wrong by mistake)

it would be possible to have text disappear after being displayed in Excel for a while.
My son and I played around with games (helping create a photographic memory, I told the youngster!) on the thing and until yesterday neither of us noticed that clicking the mouse anywhere (actually just clicking it) causes the screen to "freeze" while the code still happily erases the text in the background.
Hitting ESC allows the screen to cath up to the actual code EVEN THOUGH the ESC key is actually disabled from breaking the code.

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.

I have some VBA code which hides columns based on a cell value. The cell value changes according to which option button is selected. The code works but not when the button is selected and the cell value changes. It is necessary to click elsewhere in the sheet or press Enter to get the columns to hide. I want it to do it automatically as a user wouldn't know to click elsewhere.
The working code is:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("N5").Value = 2 Then
Columns("O:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Columns("O:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
N5 is the linked cell for the option button.

Until recently I successfully used this code to navigate to a web page and populate some of it's boxes, before programatically pressing the page's "Validate" button, whereupon the page would test the data I'd populated the boxes with, and come back with an answer to tell me if there were any errors in my data:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim uf1_cbutt1_click_ie As Object
Set uf1_cbutt1_click_ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Can anyone shed any light on how I may be able to programatically navigate with VBA to the page I want? I'm also having trouble finding the new name of the "Validate" button - and how to programatically click it.

I have the following function that looks at a range of data and deletes duplicate entries in each column. I want to change the range that is examined programmatically, rather than having to retype it for each range in this huge sheet! I have subtotaled and counted the rows in each range, so I know how many there are, but I'm stumped as to how to increment teh range correctly. I'm attaching a small sample of my data. The full sheet is 30,000+ rows and 94 columns.
Sub DelDups2()
Dim rngSrc As Range
Dim NumRows As Integer
Dim NumCols As Integer
Dim ThisRow As Integer
Dim ThatRow As Integer
Dim ThisCol As Integer
Dim J As Integer, K As Integer, x As Integer
Set rngSrc = ActiveSheet.Range("c68", "cr70")
NumCols = 94
NumRows = rngSrc.Rows.Count
ThisRow = rngSrc.Row
ThatRow = ThisRow + NumRows - 1
ThisCol = rngSrc.Column
For x = 1 To NumCols
For J = ThisRow To (ThatRow - 1)
If Cells(J, ThisCol) > "" Then................

Is it possible to lock/unlock the VBA code in a workbook through VBA from another workbook? I wish to copy modules from one workbook to another, both workbooks will have the VBA code password protected to stop prying eyes. Obviously I need to unlock the VBA in the target workbook before the copy and lock it again afterwards. Can this be done programatically? If there is no function in VBA to do this can you provide an example of how to do it using SendKeys if that is the only way to do it?

I want to use script to programmatically create Hyperlink in multiple cells. The Hyperlink will trigger a macro event and run a simple command using the "PC Name" as input variable. The Hyperlink should have:
-Text to display: - different "PC Name" in each cell
-Type the cell reference: - corresponding to the cell where the Hyperlink is inserted
-Link to: - Place in This Document
I tried using cell formula, but it always default to "Existing File or Web Page".

I have an expanding worksheet and would like to move a button so that it is always near the bottom of the worksheet data. When the button is pressed it reworks the worksheet and adds in some additional rows (up to 10 max). I'd like it so that the procedure also moves the button down keeping it in line with approximately the last row of data but not sure how to do this with vba...

Trying to select multiple shapes based on shape properties. The missing piece is the code to select the shapes. The examples in the help use the 'Array' function with a list of shape names.
Is there a way to select a random set of shapes without using the Array function?
Or how does one build a list for use with the Array function?

I have a workbook that contains a form with cells that use choice list validation. It also contains a worksheet with all the choice lists. Each choice list is a named range. The form is used to collect data that is new and from historical records. The historical records contain entries that are no longer allowed in new data. To allow for the older data I have choice lists (named ranges) that contain both the new and obsolete choices. This is a data problem waiting to happen. I would like to be able to have the user tell the workbook if the data is new or historical. If new I would only provide them with current choices. If historical, I would provide them with all choices, current and obsolete.
I would link the VBA script to change expand the ranges when told the data being entered is historical. The problem is I don't know how to code such a script. For example one of the cells has as current choices W, M, D. The range would be named MoistureState and the range would be A2:A4. There is one obsolete choice, E. If the Historical data button was clicked the MoistureState range would change from A2:A4 to A2:A5.
How would one go about expanding the named range?
