Return Name And Type Of Shape Object?

Jul 9, 2014

Since I cannot record the code when I create an shape (eg a rectangle), I am trying to write an small sub that would return the attributes of the object.

I select a red Rectangle I put on a tab.

I started as follow:

HTML Code: 

Sub GetMeSelectedShapeAttributes()
Dim Attributes(1 To 10, 1 To 2) As String
With Selection
Attributes(1, 1) = "name"
Attributes(1, 2) = .Name
Attributes(2, 1) = "Back color shapes"
Attributes(2, 2) = .Fill.BackColor.RGB
End With
End Sub

My goal is to learn about the different attributes of shapes so I can manipulate them with code,

Insert Shape Object Into Outlook 2010 HTML Mail

May 21, 2013

I have Excel and Outlook 2010 64-bit. I'm trying to develop HTML e-mails that are a mix of text drawn from cells on one sheet and picture objects on another. I have no problem with the HTML body text, but I cannot figure out how to reference and place the Shape objects. I am using:

Code:
...
.HTMLBody = "" & Range("F1").Offset(i) & Range("G1").Offset(i) & ""
...
and I want to embed, between the text brought in with cells F and G, a picture object like

Code:
Sheets("Images").Shapes("Picture 1")

I've found code that brings in a picture from a file but, for portability's sake, I really want to have the pictures maintained on the Images sheet and not in a separate file. However, I cannot figure out how to connect the HTML code with the spreadsheet object.

Converting Variant Return Type From Evaluate To Integer

Oct 7, 2009

I would like to get the return value for an evaluate statement which is a variant data type, convert it to an integer and do some computation. I have 4 test programs, the first 3 all work, the 4ths does not.

The first sd_test(returns 1) and st_test1(returns 1) demonstrate that my evaluate statement is correct and works,

sd_test2(returns 3) shows that I can convert a variant to an integer

in sd_test3(returns #VALUE!) I try to put both together and it doesn't work?

Locate A Shape Within A Shape

Jan 24, 2014

On the attached spreadsheet there is two irregular shapes. "Area1" & "Area2". I need to be able to determine which area the "ball" shape is located in. If the ball is in Area1 then "Multiply 8" gets the ball and "Multiply 9" moves to the blue cell "AH39". If the ball is in "AreaB" Multiply 9 gets the ball and "Multiply 8" runs to cell "S37"

I should be able to do the moving of the shapes using all the samples, its determining which area the ball is in is the problem.

In the real spreadsheet i will probably have around 10 different Areas.

Error Handle To Return Object Causing Error

Apr 13, 2006

whether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?

For example if a userform has two combobox's and one causes an error, can I return to a message box containing the name of the object (combobox1 or combobox2)?

I have tried returning err.source but I am either not using it correctly or it isn't intended to be used this way.

Object Library Invalid Or Contains References To Object Definitions

Jan 17, 2005

I'm getting the following error:

"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"

I wasn't getting that error last night and I'm not sure what I may have done to cause this error.

It seems to be cause by code running on one sheet of my workbook, but I'm not really sure about that. I'm still a bit of a novice at VBA.

I'm using Excel 2002 SP3 and I'm running MS XP Home as my OS.

Do you have any ideas what can cause this error and/or how to trace down the offending objects/code?

If Formula: =IF(D4<0.38,"Thin",IF(0.38<D4<=0.48,"Good Shape","Bad Shape"))

Jun 23, 2009

I have D4=0.42. I thought this formula =IF(D4<0.38,"Thin",IF(0.38<D4<=0.48,"Good shape","Bad shape")) was supposed to give me "Thin" for D4<0.38, "Good shape" for 0.38<D4<=0.48 and "Bad shape" for the contrary, but it only gives me "Bad shape" when D4 is clearly between 0.38 and 0.48.

Pivot Chart Object: Find Any Suitable Object To Choose From To Make A Pivot Chart In Powerpoint

Mar 21, 2007

1) i have office 2003 on a laptop. within powerpoint, i can create a 'microsoft excel chart 11' object. to create a link to the excel data source, do i have to go through the odbc sql setup? it works, but i don't want my powerpoint to be dependent on some excel file somewhere. what are the other options to insert/make a functional pivot chart in powerpoint with the data also within powerpoint? the data as sheet option does not result in the chart being a pivot, it's just a plain chart. it has to be a proper object, not an image paste or a chart that updates links with the excel file open.

2) i have office 2007 on my other laptop. i can not find any suitable object to choose from to make a pivot chart in powerpoint. what's the best way to go about in 2007 version?

3) am i going about this the wrong way with the objects? should i be after vba code?

Type Mismatch Error Message Comparing Value To Cell Error "Type Mismatch"

Nov 4, 2006

I'm trying to write a Macro that, in the active sheet (which contains plenty of data), deletes rows according to several criteria, for example:

- if cell(i, ar1(j)) = ERROR, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar1 is an array of column numbers)

- if cell(i, ar3(j)) = 0, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar3 is another array of column numbers)

Etc.

The problem is that, when I run it, I get a "Type Mismatch" error message, and I don't understand why. Here is the

Sub Delete_invalid_rows()
Dim i%, j%
Dim Nr%, valid As Boolean, BYPdata As Boolean
Dim ar1, ar2, ar3, ar4 As Variant
Nr = 1379
ar1 = Array(11, 14, 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 104, 106, 107, 109, 112, 116, 126, 127, 128, 129, 131, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 142, 143, 145)..............

I have a shape in Excel called Canada. I grouped it with another shape and want this new grouping to be called Canada. But when I enter Canada in the shape name entry box, it doesn't actually change it (as it thinks I am referring to the existing Canada).

I need something like Names manager, but for shapes, not ranges.

Shape On A UserForm

Dec 29, 2007

I want to create a shape connecting them and place that shape on a userform. I can create the area without any problems on a worksheet using ActiveSheet.Shapes.BuildFreeform but I don't know how to get it onto my userform.

I have looked through previous posts on similar topics and seen responses that it's as easy as copying the shape from the worksheet and pasting it into an image or frame on the userform. I can copy the shape to the clipboard without any problem. However, when I try to paste it onto an image or frame in a userform I get a message saying that the object doesn't support the use of paste. I've tried using both Selection.Copy and Selection.CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap thinking it might treat a bitmap differently. When I paste I'm trying both UserForm1.Frame1.Picture.Paste and UserForm1.Image1.Picture.Paste but neither work, even though I have blank images and frames with those names on my form.
