I was trying to emphasis the option button from activeX control when it is selected by user. I decided to show the shadow when it is selected and then hide the shadow when user selects other option button. The first process is working whereas the shadow cannot be removed even though I select other button. My VBA code is shown below:
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
OptionButton1.Shadow = False
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then
OptionButton1.Shadow = True
Else
OptionButton1.Shadow = False
End If
End Sub
Can anyone please help me to solve this?
In case of FORMS buttons you can use
Sub RemoveFormsButtonShadows()
'A.Leine 21/10/2015
For Each Button In ActiveSheet.Shapes
Button.Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Shadow.Visible = False
Next Button
End Sub
For that you have to create one sub which needs to be called from all the option buttons that you have. This common sub will simply remove the shadow from all option buttons. Here I am taking the example of 3 option buttons.
Option Explicit
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
RemoveShadow
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then _
OptionButton1.Shadow = True
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
RemoveShadow
If OptionButton2.Value = True Then _
OptionButton2.Shadow = True
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click()
RemoveShadow
If OptionButton3.Value = True Then _
OptionButton3.Shadow = True
End Sub
Sub RemoveShadow()
Dim objOpt As OLEObject
With ActiveSheet
For Each objOpt In .OLEObjects
If TypeName(objOpt.Object) = "OptionButton" Then
objOpt.Shadow = False
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

I have an ActiveX Combobox in one of my main sheet which control/update a series of charts.
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_GotFocus()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Me.cmBoxSelect
.List = Array("Grand Total", "Prod1", "Prod2", "Prod3", "Prod4", "Prod5")
.ListRows = 6
.DropDown
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_Change()
'series of codes which manipulates the charts, based on selection...
End Sub
I noticed that when I click the ComboBox and select one of its content, it leaves a blue highlight on the selection. So to prevent that, I added:
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_DropButtonClick()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveCell.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
It successfully removed the highlight.
However, it has a weird drawback. cmbSelect doesn't close automatically once user didn't select anything (once the combobox is active and the user click any cell in the sheet, it doesn't close out). It was working before I added the DropButtonClick event.
Did I missed anything or any wrong steps above? Thanks for your inputs!
EDIT#1
Seems I already found a solution by trial and error. I only added a blank Label and select it to remove the focus out of the ComboBox whenever there is a change. I also changed the DropButtonClick to LostFocus.
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_GotFocus()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Me.cmBoxSelect
.List = Array("Grand Total", "Prod1", "Prod2", "Prod3", "Prod4", "Prod5")
.ListRows = 6
.DropDown
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_LostFocus()
ActiveCell.Select
End Sub
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_Change()
'series of codes which manipulates the charts, based on selection...
Me.Label1.Select
End Sub
You need to put the SelLength to 0 in multiple events to avoid highlighting:
so:
Me.cmBoxSelect.SelLength = 0
in:
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_KeyUp(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_LostFocus()
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_DropButtonClick()
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_Change()
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_GotFocus()
(you could add also Me.cmBoxSelect.SelStart = 0 )
Lets try this:
Not Event-triggered by a change, but by the dropbuttonclick
Private Sub changingComboBox(String s)
'series of codes which manipulates the charts, based on selection...
End Sub
Private Sub cmBoxSelect_DropButtonClick()
Dim s As String
s = cmBoxSelect.SelText
If (cmBoxSelect.SelText = cmBoxSelect.Value) Then
cmBoxSelect.Value = ""
cmBoxSelect.Value = s
Else
call changingComboBox(cmBoxSelect.Value)
End If
End Sub
How about that ?
I have a userform with 2 OptionButton choices, and I'm modifying the form (hiding labels and controls, and resizing frame) for the default Option (name = BwaIsNew), but then restoring the full userform when Option #2 (name = BwaIsOld) is selected. (see separate question for background).
When Option #2 is selected I'm calling a fresh userform, and coding the change in value. But this coding of the value dlgInformation.BwaIsOld.Value = True then triggers an event (?) that calls the Sub BwaIsOld_Click() code to run. This then sets up a perpetual loop.
What's the best way to solve this?
Problem code (the one looping) is:
Private Sub BwaIsOld_Click()
Unload Me
dlgInformation.BwaIsNew.Value = False
dlgInformation.BwaIsOld.Value = True
dlgInformation.Show
End Sub
Update:
Thanks #Tim & #CommonSense. I'm still not quite there yet. What am I doing wrong? Here is the code
Public EnableEvents As Boolean
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub BwaIsNew_Click()
Call changeform(280)
End Sub
Private Sub BwaIsOld_Click()
Unload Me
Me.EnableEvents = False
dlgInformation.BwaIsNew.Value = False
dlgInformation.BwaIsOld.Value = True
Me.EnableEvents = True
dlgInformation.Show
End Sub
You need to actually use that EnableEvents in the rest of your code.
BTW I would choose a different name from the built-in Application.EnableEvents property just for clarity.
Public EnableEvents As Boolean
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub BwaIsNew_Click()
'don't respond to events triggered by BwaIsOld_Click
If Me.EnableEvents Then
Call changeform(280)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub BwaIsOld_Click()
Unload Me '<< why do this here?
Me.EnableEvents = False
dlgInformation.BwaIsNew.Value = False
dlgInformation.BwaIsOld.Value = True
Me.EnableEvents = True
dlgInformation.Show
End Sub
Iam trying to create a simple if statement in Excel with VBA.
I'm creating a new checkbox
Adds the following code to the box.
Sub CheckBox1_Click()
HideRows "2:5"
End Sub
Sub HideRows(rowRange)
If CheckBox1 = False Then
Rows(rowRange).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else: Rows(rowRange).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
Result: The rows are hidden both if the checkbox is checked or unchecked.
(checkbox is checked)
All rows are visible
Uncheck the checkbox
Result: All rows are hidden
(checkbox is unchecked)
All rows are visible
Uncheck the checkbox
Result: All rows are hidden
You want it in a Change Event.
You do not need the If Then. CheckBox1 rturns a TRUE/FALSE, just use that.
And the EntireRow is also not needed when refering to Rows(). You are already refering to the whole row.
Also, it is good practice to always declare the parent to any Range Object, which Rows() is. If the the code is in the Worksheet code then use Me as it will refer to itself. If the code is in a module then use ActiveSheet or more preferably the specific sheet, Worksheets("Sheet1") :
Private Sub CheckBox1_Change()
HideRows "2:5"
End Sub
Sub HideRows(rowRange)
'if this code is not in the worksheet code then change `Me` to `ActiveSheet`
Me.Rows(rowRange).Hidden = Not CheckBox1
End Sub
Assuming its an ActiveX CheckBox, place this code in Sheet Module...
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1 = True Then
Rows("2:5").Hidden = True
Else
Rows("2:5").Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
Edit:
Or just use this...
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Rows("2:5").Hidden = CheckBox1
End Sub
You can put this in one sub, assuming its an activeX checkbox
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1 = True Then
[2:5].EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else: [2:5].EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
I have 20 toggle buttons set-up like
Public Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Check_All
If ToggleButton1.value = True Then
ToggleButton1.BackColor = vbGreen
Else:
ToggleButton1.BackColor = vbRed
End If
End Sub
Public Sub ToggleButton2_Click()
Check_All
If ToggleButton2.value = True Then
ToggleButton2.BackColor = vbGreen
Else:
ToggleButton2.BackColor = vbRed
End If
End Sub
I'm attempting to get them triggered by application.onkey like:
Application.OnKey "%a", "Sheet1.ToggleButton1_Click"
Application.OnKey "%b", "Sheet1.ToggleButton2_Click"
And using the Check_all for when all the buttons are "True" it'll do the following that is supposed to revert the toggle buttons back to the "False" state before it triggers another "macro".
Sub Check_All()
Dim tb As Object
For Each tb In Me.OLEObjects
If tb.ProgId = "Forms.ToggleButton.1" Then
If tb.Object.value <> True Then Exit Sub
End If
Next
CommandButton0_Click
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton0_Click()
Dim x As Integer
For x = 1 To 20
Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("ToggleButton" & x).Object.value = False
Next x
CommandButton3_Click
End Sub
But I can't seem to get the application.onkey to work and I'm completely lost now.
This is a system that is hooked up to programmable USB buttons and I'm really relying on the onkey to function, unless there's a better way???
You can assign macros to shortcut keys in excel. You need to simulate the toggle-button click like this:
Sub CtrlShiftA()
ToggleButton1.Value = Not ToggleButton1.Value
End Sub
Then have your toggle-button sub as you like:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
ToggleButton1.BackColor = vbGreen
Else
ToggleButton1.BackColor = vbRed
End If
End Sub
Then under View -> Macros -> View Macros click Options..:
Press Shift + A to have Ctrl + Shift + A as shortcut key:
Now click OK, and enjoy your shurtcut key.
I have a userform with 2 command buttons : hide and show.
This work if I only have 1 workbook open. I can simply hide and show the workbook from the form. However If I have another workbook open let say Book1. and then I click Hide, It will also hide the Book1. I want only to hide the specific workbook.
Here's my code:
Private Sub cmdHide_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Application.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdShow_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Application.Visible = True
End Sub
Should be something like this
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdHide_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Windows(1).Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdShow_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Windows(1).Visible = True
End Sub
Another Example that work on both Excel 2010 & 2013
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdHide_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdShow_Click()
'ThisWorkbook("hide_sheet").
Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = True
End Sub
