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 ?
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.
1-Using the Date-Time data in cell “T3” find the cell in column “A” that has the same Date and time.
2-Position the cursor in column I of the same Row. 3-End
In the example giving the Date-Time in “T3” is: 07/03/2008 17:15:00. The Cell in column “A” that has this same Date-Time is: “A97”. The cursor should then be positioned in Cell “I97”.
In Excel VBA Userform, how to copy the text from textbox automatically when the cursor is being moved from the textbox. And when i put CTRL+V then the copyed text has to be pasted.
The user has multiple Excel documents available [which all contain this macro, as they were generated from the same template by a third-party software (LabView)].
The user is already working on a Word document, typing text until he decides that he wants to add some information from one of the Excel sheets. To do this, he changes to Excel, clicks on the button running the script, and the required information is pasted into the Word document at the present cursor position.
how can i define, in vba that after click on button in sheet1, it looks at value in cell B1 in this sheet and move my cursor exactly on this value in sheet2 where i have data in range (B4:C6000).
trying to find the value of column A (date field) if it exists on the row that the cursor is presently on. I'm trying to check for the value before performing the next function to make sure the user is on a valid row. Cursor could be on any column A to F. Columns are always 6 but the rows can vary.
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'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.
how 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?
When a userform textbox value is changed, if the vertical scrollbars were shown previously (due to more text than displayed size) and is still required for new value, how do you reset the scrollbar/textbox value back to the top (if it was previously scrolled down by the user). If teh scrool bar is no longer required for new value (due to sufficient space to display new value without scrollbars), how do you remove/hide the scrollbar again until needed.
I'm trying to add a textbox at the current position (selected cell) with a set size, fill color, and border color. I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8(VS.80).aspx:
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!!!
Is there a way without using code to have the text in a text box (excel 2003), copied to another cell or another text box on a different worksheet?
I have information in a text box on 1 worksheet. I would like this information to automatically be copied to another worksheet. On the master sheet, if any of the information gets changed or updated, the copied information should get updated as well.
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.
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.
How do I make the cursor jump down to the next row. Example: once I entered value on H2, I would like the cursor jump down to A3 then once I reach H3, the cursor would jump down to A4 and so on.
For many projects I work on I use listviews in forms, this time I thought I'd try something different.
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:
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:
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
I am wanting VBA language in a macro that will move the cursor a certain number of cells in a certain direction. For example, I want the cursor to move right one cell, no PARTICULAR cell, just right one cell. Is there something I can use?
I need a userform textbox event that fires after I tab or click out of the textbox. Going by the list of options:Beforedragover, BeforeDroporPaste, Change, DblClick, DropButtonClick, Error, Keydown, Keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseup.
I can't figure out which one will do what I want. The change event happens instantaneously which doesn't work. I need to fire off the event when my focus leaves the textbox.
