My VBA makros in PP works well in slideshow mode on 1 screen, however, disfunctions w. 2 screens.
Makros either move around on slide or input textbox doesn't work (not able to add input)
The slideshow consist of a textbox input box, a commandbutton, and a textbox output box.
When I change settings on the screens (e.g. change reolution, or which screen to be the main screen), I can make it work again.
However, all these change of setting and testing is not be possible when doing presentations for a customer.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
TextBox2 = TextBox1 * 0.025
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
End Sub
I expect the macros to be at place on the screen no matter the screen.
OLE and OLE Controls are resolution-dependent. PowerPoint can calculate the control's positions differently when resolution changes or when used on mixed-resolution multi-monitor setups. You could possibly get around this by using a VBA userform for controls instead of placing them on the slide.

Powerpoint Slides: Trying to create duplicate slides so that user can, on each slide,
1. select an option
2. enter free text.
I have the following VBA and controls in Slide2, I want to copy everything, including combobox and textbox, from slide2 for any/all subsequent slides. I want an easy way to do this. just copying or duplicating the slides will not allow users to make selections or add free text on any slides after slide2 (the original). Although the controls still APPEAR on the subsequent slides, no selection or typing can be made. Subsequent slides contain the VBA script but not any controls copied over? I'm new-ish to this so not sure all of my language is correct here.(i used to know how to do all this stuff about 12 years ago, lol)
Please tell me there is a fast and easy way to do this! It's taken me all afternoon to teach myself the current script (combo/text boxes) and research a slide copy fix, to no avail.
Here's my simple script for the combo box and textbox from slide2.
Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonClick()
If ComboBox1.ListCount = 0 Then
With ComboBox1
.AddItem "Select One", 0
.AddItem "Accept", 1
.AddItem "Reject", 2
ComboBox1.ListRows = 3
End With
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
End Sub
Not sure if I understand everything you want, but this duplicates slide 1, including all the code belonging to the controls in the slide:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Duplicate
Let me know if there's something I'm missing
I’m running Excel 2010 on Windows 7.
I have four charts on a worksheet. What I want to do is select one of the charts and then click a button to open the ‘Format Axis’ dialogue box. I found the following code online to open the dialogue box. If I select a chart and then run the code from the toolbar (Developer tab, Macros, select macro, press ‘Run’), it works well.
Sub formatXAxis1()
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).Select
Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "ChartFormatSelection"
End Sub
The trouble I have is when the VBA script is assigned to a button. If I use a shape as the button, I get “Run-time error ‘91’: Object variable or With block variable not set”. I get the same error if I use an ActiveX Command Button. However, with a Form Control button it works as expected. The only problem with this solution is that it is not possible to change the background colour of the button so it looks out of place against the other macro calling buttons on the worksheet.
I'm guessing that in the first two cases (shape and ActiveX buttons), VBA drops or loses the chart selection when I press the button – even though the chart still appears selected on screen. Is there a fix for this, or am I doing something wrong?
For an ActiveX button, in the Properties set the property
TakeFocusOnClick
to False. That will cause Selection to keep on the chart rather than switch to the button and your code should work. The color can also be changed from the properties box, though you probably already know that.
You need to reference the chart by name. So either have 4 buttons (one for each chart), or ask the user to input the name of the chart, then:
Dim co as ChartObject
Dim c as Chart
Dim NameOfChart as String
NameOfChart = Inputbox("Enter name of chart")
Set co = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(NameOfChart)
Set c = co.chart
c.Axes(xlCategory).Select
Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "ChartFormatSelection"
First of all I would like to thank all of you guys. Maybe you did not notice but you help me to grasp VBA to some level from scratch. I am still in learning process so I may be missing something really simple, please be gentle :)
First of all I would like to give a small backgroud update about my issue. I have been writing a small program to scan incoming parts to my work to be able to keep inventory status. Latest look of the program is like below:
And numbers on the picture are my nightmares lately:
1. Scanned Part Number: This is the textbox where scanner inputs the value. After I receive the input I immidietly convert that data to a variable and clear the textbox value as below:
Private Sub PN_CurrentScan_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 13 Then
EnteredPN = Replace(PN_CurrentScan.Value, Chr(32), "", 1) '<---PN_CurrentScan is the name of text box
EnteredPN = Left(EnteredPN, 12)
PN_CurrentScan.Value = ""
After making some corrections on the scanned data I basically write it to a sheet in the workbook. Then I also have a pivot table in the same workbook which uses this scanned data as source and counts how many parts scanned from each part number.
2. Current Status: This ListBox contains all the part numbers scanned (Coming from the pivot table mentioned above) and waiting to be scanned (Coming from another worksheet). Then it refreshes it self every time a new part is scanned.
3. ListBox Scroll Bar: Since I have very long part number list it is not possible for me to fit everything on the screen that is why listbox creates this scroll bar.
Enough with the background I think :)
So if we come to my concern. Since my collages using cordless scanner to do this operation sometimes they don't have the chance to see the screen so they can not understand if the cursor is on the "Scanned Part Number Text Box" or not. That is why I need focus to be on that box no matter what happens (Of course we can not do anything if warehouse burns down, earth quake or tsunami hits the place but let do not think about those).
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
First of all I disabled all the remaining objects from properties window
Then I diabled tab stops of all controls:
Dim contr As Control
For Each contr In ScannerInterface.Controls
On Error Resume Next
contr.TabStop = False
Next
ScannerInterface.PN_CurrentScan.TabStop = True
Added setfocus property to all button clicks:
Me.PN_CurrentScan.SetFocus
Added setfocus property to listbox click:
Private Sub CurrentStatus_List_Click()
Me.PN_CurrentScan.SetFocus
End Sub
Added set focus to enter and exit events of listbox however this did not work:
Private Sub CurrentStatus_List_Enter()
Me.PN_CurrentScan.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub CurrentStatus_List_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Me.PN_CurrentScan.SetFocus
End Sub
So, with all these counter measures I have managed to improve up to somepoint, only concern remaining is when I click on the scroll bar next to the listbox, text box lose focus and without clicking in the textbox I could not manage to set the focus again. I tried all events with listbox non of them worked. Is there any way to solve this problem or do I need to deal with this? Thanks in advance for your supports.
SOLUTION:
Thanks to #Rory we have managed to solve my problem. As he noticed and explained in the answer below, both my textbox and listbox were in frames. I have tried several setfocus options but I always gave the focus to the textbox. However, solution was to give the focus to the frame which was containing the target textbox:
Private Sub CurrentStatus_Frame_Enter() '<-- Enter event of the frame which contains listbox
Me.PN_CurrentScan.SetFocus '<-- Setfocus to target textbox
Me.Scanned_Frame.SetFocus '<-- Setfocus to frame which contains target textbox
End Sub
Having (eventually) noticed that both of your controls are inside container Frame controls, you can actually use the Enter event of the Frame that contains the listbox to set focus to the Frame that contains the textbox, rather than to the textbox itself.
I am looking to view an image from the worksheet in an Image control on a userform.
This image will change based on the value on a combobox. I have inserted (Using: Insert -> Pictures) a couple of images into "Sheet1" of my workbook and named them "Picture1" & "Picture2".
I have created the below UserForm:
Form http://im56.gulfup.com/msKyqi.png
And this is the code that I am trying to use in order to load the images from the sheet, but unfortunately, this is not working at the moment.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
UserForm1.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(Worksheets("Sheet1").Shapes(ComboBox1.Value))
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
UserForm1.ComboBox1.Clear
UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem "Picture1"
UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem "Picture2"
UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value = "Picture1"
UserForm1.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(Worksheets("Sheet1").Shapes(ComboBox1.Value))
End Sub
Every time I run this code I get the below error:
Error http://im43.gulfup.com/YoWvTp.png
Please advise.
I figured it out!
As I am using a UserForm there is a workaround to the issue.
Instead of having the images in the worksheet to then try and load them in the form I tried having them in the UserForm in the first place, here is how.
Create a frame on your userform:
Frame http://im88.gulfup.com/Moy8I6.png
Set the visible property of the frame to "False":
Visible http://im88.gulfup.com/sAIQqh.png
Insert your images by adding a picture control and loading the images, you can add as many images as you need:
Images http://im88.gulfup.com/oas0EQ.png
Name the images:
Name http://im88.gulfup.com/cIO317.png
Drag all the images one over the other into the frame, (you can then move the frame into a corner so it doesn't bother you:
Drag http://im88.gulfup.com/1fOSut.png
Move Away http://im88.gulfup.com/Q1fzKd.png
Next create a picture control, this is what you will use to display the picture based on a selection:
Form View http://im88.gulfup.com/X1UVRB.png
In this example, I am going to use a combobox for the selection. Now insert the below code in to the form which is pretty straight forward:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
' Image1 is the name of the created picture control
UserForm3.Controls.Item("Image1").Picture = UserForm3.Controls.Item(UserForm3.ComboBox1.Value).Picture
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
UserForm3.ComboBox1.AddItem "Argentina"
UserForm3.ComboBox1.AddItem "Brazil"
UserForm3.ComboBox1.AddItem "Chile"
End Sub
As you will see, the frame with the pictures is Hidden, and the image is changing inside the picture control based on a selection:
Result http://im88.gulfup.com/MSqyHF.png
I think it's the better way to go as opposed to exporting the images from the worksheet to a Temp folder and then loading them back into the picture controls.
The LoadImage() function expects a filename (which can be fully qualified with a drive letter and path). You are getting a type mismatch because it wants a string, and you are giving it an image object.
There is, as far as I know, no simple way to put an image that resides in the current application into an image control. The (hackish) workaround that I know about is to export the image to a file, and then import that same file using LoadImage().
This is the same path you have to go down if you want to embed a chart that updates dynamically into a userform. You export the chart as an image (e.g., a JPEG), and then use LoadImage() to pull the image back into the image control.
I know this post is ancient, but I found my way here. I came up with a slightly different solution to this problem. I have about 30 pictures I need to load based on a combo-box selection. First, all combo-box options (for discussion "XX") are saved to a separate worksheet which is "Very hidden" from the user and loaded into the combobox on userform activation. On the userform a frame was added, and within the frame 30 image-boxes all overlapping perfectly were placed. Each image-box was carefully named "Img_XX" where XX is the simple two-letter identifier.
With this setup it is now possible to iterate through each "Control" (the image boxes) in the Frame and hide them all, except the one with a name that matches the combo-box value. The code in the userform module, within the Combobox_Change() function, looks something like this:
Private Sub ComboBox_Change()
Dim SearchValue as String
SearchValue = me.Combobox.value
Dim Ctrl as Control
For each Ctrl in Me.TestFrame.Controls
If Ctrl.Name Like "img_" & SearchValue Then
Ctrl.visible = True
else
Ctrl.Visible = False
End If
next Ctrl
End Sub
I hope this helps, let me know what you think. :)
Longtime viewer, first time question asker.
I'm currently working with UserForms within MS Word and have a particular form that can have up to 20 different labels and accompanying textboxes with varying texts. I have all but the first hidden while not in use, however I would like the next label and text box to become visible following input in the previous textbox. So if you enter data (anything) in the first textbox, the next label and text box will become visible. Does this make sense? I've seen other responses here suggest using AfterUpdate() rather than Change() or Click() but can't figure out how to use any of them. I would share my code but at this point I don't have any code to share, other than my labels and textboxes are lblField1 txtField1, lblField2 txtField2...
Any suggestions?
I would suggest using Change event, when using AfterUpdate you need to leave you TextBox for a while to fire the event. If you have only one TextBox visible there is nothing to move to. If you have more TextBoxes you would need to move back to fire AfterEvent and I don't think this is what you expect.
So, double click wherever on your userform and add the following code in code area:
Private Sub txtField1_Change()
txtField2.Visible = True
lblField2.Visible = True
End Sub
Next, add next portion for next textbox:
Private Sub txtField2_Change()
txtField3.Visible = True
lblField3.Visible = True
End Sub
And so on, if only you have an order in controls name you just need to change numbers in the end of control names.
