How To Display A Gif File In A Dialog Box Using An Image Control

Jan 11, 2010

my code brings up an empty dialog box.

The file I am trying to view is saved as follows: C: Test.gif

What I have done.Added a image control to a dialog box, called image1
Added the following event handler to image1:
x = c: test.gif
Image1.picture = loadpicture (X)Pressed F5 to test the code and brings up a dialog box with a blank image box.

Not called the userform in the main module (didn't seem much point considering the test failed)

My questions

where I am going wrong with this, the correct code?

Also in inputting the address of the file I could not use the C: format as this brought up an error. What is the correct format?

Automatically Control File Download Dialog

Jun 29, 2006

complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.

Public Sub Report_Test()

Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim strURL As String
Dim varItem As Variant

' Establish connection to the Internet Explorer application.

Adding A File Path From A Dialog Box Selection

Jun 16, 2007

I am trying to white a macro that takes a file path from a cell value and opens that file. When there is no file path in the cell, it prompts a dialog box. This part is pretty much working. However, I would like the file path selected from the dialog box to be added to the cell in the original workbook.

Sub Reports()
Dim path1 As String
path1 = Range("B20").Value
On Error Resume Next
'checks if there is already a file path'
Workbooks.Open filename:= _
path1, Updatelinks:=1
'if no file path then opens dialog box'
If Error.Number <> 0 Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Arg1:="*.*"

End If

Identify The Filter Used In Msofile Dialog File Picker

Nov 27, 2007

I am using the following code to allow the user to select files to open. I have realised that you can create multiple filters with the msoFileDialogFilePicker command, which is very useful, since the program initalliy takes multiple text files, loads them into a workbook as seperate sheets and then saves the workbook as an excel file. Therefore I would like the user to be able to select the text files to load but also to be able to check if the corresponding excel file already exists and if so to be able to directly open this rather than have to create a new file from the text files. Therefore my question is: Is there a way to be able to tell which filter was in use when the file was selected?

Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xls"
.Filters.Add "Text Files", "*.txt"
.Show
' olWin.Activate
A = 1 ...........

Stop "file In Use" Dialog Box Except For Owner Of File

Jan 20, 2007

To have other users open a workbook on the network without having to click button to open it as read only.

I have been trying to get rid of the "File In Use" message for the other users since they only need a read only copy. I am the only one who needs to know if it is in use because I will make changes to the workbook tools and have to save them.

I have set the Save As preferences so that it requires a password for modification and checked the read only checkbox. But that dialog box is popping up for the users. I am trying to eliminate any file in use dialog box for users other than myself.

Here is my workbook open procedure...

Private Sub Workbook_open()

Dim wBook As Workbook
Dim UsrName As String

UsrName = Environ("username")
On Error Resume Next
Set wBook = Workbooks("Excel_Tools.xls")

Get Open File Name To Open Multiple Files

Jul 3, 2007

I'm doing the following:

Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename

I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.

Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.

Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:

myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")

I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.
