I've been learning today some VBA basics to apply in powerpoint, but I have some experience in some other languages. As title says, I want a picture to be shown after I click on 3 other pictures before that. When any of this 3 pictures are clicked, they trigger a tick to be shown above that image, and I'm using those as a refer to code my macro. I have the following:
Sub Condicion()
Set Diapo14 = ActivePresentation.Slides(14)
If Diapo14.Shapes("tick1").Visible = True And _
Diapo14.Shapes("tick2").Visible = True And _
Diapo14.Shapes("tick3").Visible = True Then
Diapo14.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I have the picture I want to show (FlechaDer) with a disappear effect as soon as the slide starts, but no matter what I do, when I test the slide, the picture is always there. Maybe I'm not applying the correct approach, hope someone can help me. I'm not even sure if this can be done in PowerPoint.
I got it working with the code below. I had to replace the "ticks" in the If cycle, and instead of them I used the pictures that once clicked popped up the ticks:
Sub Can12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Sub Wool12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Sub Pencil12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
It worked fine on activating an animation (Right Arrow popping up) when all 3 items were clicked. I had to add the corresponding macro to the picture. (Can, wool and pencil)

I was wondering if you guys can help me with this problem. So I want a button that would show/hide a table in ms word. However, I can only get the button to do either show or hide separately with my code. Currently this code will show my table:
Sub Loan1()
'Hides Sections Not Used in Expanded Form
Dim CollapseRange1 As Range
'Set Which Range/Cell to Associate with Button
With ActiveDocument.Tables(3)
Set CollapseRange1 = .Rows(1).Range
CollapseRange1.End = .Rows(25).Range.End
End With
'If button is pressed then Hide/show CollapseRanges
If CommandButton1 = False And CollapseRange1.Font.Hidden = False Then
CollapseRange1.Font.Hidden = True
Else
CollapseRange1.Font.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
I was hoping to be able to use one button to show and hide my table depending on the state of my table (hidden or unhidden)
Any help would be appreciated!
OH I managed to figure out my questions. Instead of
If CommandButton1 = False And CollapseRange1.Font.Hidden = False Then
I use
If CommandButton1 = False And ActiveDocument.Tables(3).Cell(1, 1).Range.Font.Hidden = False Then
I hoped this helps someone else!
I am creating a data entry form for one of my database tables. For one of the sections, I have the text field with ONLY the caption: "Description 1" showing. If the Description 1 textbox is filled out by the user, I want it to show the Description 2 textbox. If the user fills out the Description 2 textbox, the Description 3 textbox will show up and so on up to 10 Description textboxes. Is there a way to hide the extra text boxes kind of like when you fill out the information while creating a macro? For example when you click Create --> Macro, there is only a dropdown box for you to select an action. If you choose Open Form and hit enter, 6 more text boxes with captions appear.
Is there a way to get that kind of functionality in a form? Also, in the Macro builder, it dynamically rearranges the page for you, can this also be done with the form?
Follow these steps:
Mark the visible property as false
Add OnChange event for each textbox.
Write the VBA code to determine if the next control will be showed or hide. Note, the Me!FormControlItem.Text is accessible only if the control is focused.
There is the 3 functions for each control.
Private Sub text1_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!text1.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text2.Visible = True
Me!Label2.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text2) = "" Then
Me!Text2.Visible = True
Me!Label2.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text2.Visible = False
Me!Label2.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Text2_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!Text2.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text3.Visible = True
Me!Label3.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text3) = "" Then
Me!Text3.Visible = True
Me!Label3.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text3.Visible = False
Me!Label3.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Text3_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!Text3.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text4.Visible = True
Me!Label4.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text4) = "" Then
Me!Text4.Visible = True
Me!Label4.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text4.Visible = False
Me!Label4.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Enjoy!
I was making an application and I went to hide the formula bar and make it full screen in my Workbook_Activate event, then show the formula bar and make it windowed(is that a word?) in my Workbook_Deactivate event. I actually struggled with this for a while. I kept having a problem with the formula bar showing up when it wasn't supposed to or disappearing when I wanted it there. I finally got it to work by making sure I used the DisplayFullScreen first and only then using the DisplayFormulaBar method.
Does anyone know why you would need to put these in a specific order for them to work together? I couldn't find anything when I was looking for it.
I'm using Excel 2010.
EDIT: Here's my code.
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Activate
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Application.DisplayFullScreen = False
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = True
End Sub
This is from the MSDN documentation: "Toolbars, the status bar, and the formula bar maintain separate display settings for full-screen mode and normal mode."
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff838060.aspx
I was searching for mostly DisplayFormulaBar topics since that was what was showing up strangely for me. Hopefully this helps anyone who searches for it in the future.
I am coding a basic program that allows users to calculate useful data on a shape (2d and 3d) based on information such as radius length, side length, height, etc.
I would like to create a settings MENU that allows users to set how many decimal places they would like the answer to go to, so what I did was
Private Sub btnSettings_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSettings.Click
If btnSettings.Text = "Settings" Then
btnSettings.Text = "Back"
ElseIf btnSettings.Text = "Back" Then
btnSettings.Text = "Settings"
End If
Do While btnSettings.Text = "Back"
'makes IO elements invisible
lblEnter.Visible = False
lblEnter2.Visible = False
lblData1.Visible = False
lblData2.Visible = False
lblData3.Visible = False
lblAnswer1.Visible = False
lblAnswer2.Visible = False
lblAnswer3.Visible = False
txtEnter.Visible = False
txtEnter2.Visible = False
btnClearTxt1.Visible = False
lblEnter3.Visible = False
txtEnter3.Visible = False
chkBox.Visible = False
btnCalculate.Visible = False
btnClear.Visible = False
'Makes shape selection elements invisible
picCircle.Visible = False
picSquare.Visible = False
picTriangle.Visible = False
rdoCircle.Visible = False
rdoSquare.Visible = False
rdoTriangle.Visible = False
btn3D.Visible = False
'Changes texts on necessary elements
lblSelectShape.Text = "Settings"
Loop
End Sub
As you can see, when "btnSettings" shows the text "Settings", the elements on the screen are VISIBLE to the user, however as soon as "btnSettings" changes text to "Back" (indicating the user is inside the settings menu) all the elements on the screen disappear, making room for the elements the settings menu will have. However, while debugging the program whenever I hit the settings button the program crashes.
Any help? Thanks
Use a Select Case for this:
Select Case shapeType
Case shapeType.Circle
'logic for this
'...
End Select
I'm new at VBA so sorry in advance if this is a silly question. I have a Worksheet with ActiveX List boxes. The worksheet also has Toggle Switches. The toggle switches are set up to Hide Rows and ActiveX boxes when not depressed and Show Rows and ActiveX boxes when depressed. I'd like to save the file with all of the Toggle switches not depressed so that the user can un-hide only the rows and boxes that they need. Everything works properly until I save the file with all rows hidden. After the save all of the boxes change locations. I've tried setting the boxes to "Move and Size with cell", "Move but don't size with cell", and "Don't more or Size with cell" in the preferences. The same thing happens with all options. Below is my toggle switch code. Is there something in there causing this to happen?
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is not depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = False
'This hides the listboxes since they can not move and
'size with cells
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox1").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox2").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox3").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox4").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox5").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox6").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox7").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox8").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox9").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox10").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox11").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox12").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox13").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox14").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox15").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox16").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox17").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox18").Visible = True
Else
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox1").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox2").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox3").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox4").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox5").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox6").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox7").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox8").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox9").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox10").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox11").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox12").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox13").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox14").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox15").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox16").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox17").Visible = False

I know this isn't the answer to your question (I haven't even looked at it yet), but i just felt like giving you this code, this is the exact code you provided and will function the same way, just looks a tiny bit clearer (actually as it also removes the if statement it prolly even performs at like 1/1000000 of a millisecond faster also =D)
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim boolToggleValue As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
boolToggleValue = ToggleButton1.Value
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is not depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = Not boolToggleValue
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = Not boolToggleValue
'This hides the listboxes since they can not move and
'size with cells
With Sheet11
For i = 1 To 18
.OLEObjects("ListBox" & i).Visible = boolToggleValue
Next i
End With
End Sub
