Restrict entry into Textbox Control

November 26, 2008 at 14:40 · Filed under VBA Examples

- Selva V Pasupathy

When you are working with a userform to create a userinterface for data input, sometimes you would like to restrict the users to input numbers only in some of the textbox controls. However, many a times you would find accidently or otherwise, you find text entered into the database. You can use the following code to make sure that anything typed in textbox1 other than numbers 0 – 9 will not be accepted. Thus you can successfully implement to reduce errors in your database.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress( _
      ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
  ‘ This code restricts any text in textbox1 other than
  ‘ integer 0 – 9 ….
  Select Case KeyAscii
    Case Asc(“0″) To Asc(“9″)
    
    Case Else
      KeyAscii = 0
  End Select
End Sub

‘* DESCRIPTION:     The following visual basic code was written when
‘*                  I wanted to consolidate the data from 26 workbooks
‘*                  and in each workbook, there were are 77 sheets. It
‘*                  would have been a very difficult task, if I had to
‘*                  do it manually. I believe this procedure will be
‘*                  useful to somebody else
‘* NOTES:
‘*  Before using the codes, you can change all the variables like,
‘*  Folder, File , SearchString, SearchSubfolders (true / false),
‘*  and other variables.

Add Sheet Navigation control on ToolBar

November 9, 2008 at 14:45 · Filed under CommandBar, CommandBarCombobox, CommandBarControl, SheetNavigation, VBA Examples

- Selva V Pasupathy,   HSBC Global Resourcing, Hyderabad

Add the following code to a code module of excel workbook and run macro named “AddComboNavigation”. This will add a combobox control on standard toolbar on microsoft excel. This will make sure that you will be able to navigate between sheets, especially wehn you have a workbook with 100’s of sheets. This is one think that I would like to use and dont have problem even creating workbooks with 100s of worksheets.

Option Explicit
Sub AddComboNavigation()
  Dim cBar As CommandBar
  Dim c As CommandBarComboBox
  Dim i As Integer
  ‘ Set reference to standard toolbar
  Set cBar = Application.CommandBars(“standard”)
  cBar.Reset
  
  ‘Add Combobox Control
  Set c = cBar.Controls.Add(msoControlComboBox, 1)
  
  With c
    .Clear
    For i = 1 To ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
      .AddItem ThisWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name, 1
    Next i
      .Caption = “Sheet Navigator”
      .DescriptionText = “This is the area where you can place description area”
      .Enabled = True
      .Visible = True
      .DropDownLines = 5
      .ListIndex = 0
      .OnAction = “Activate_Sheet”
  End With
End Sub

Private Sub Activate_Sheet()
  ‘on error resume next
  Dim x As String
  Dim c As CommandBarComboBox
  
  Set c = Application.CommandBars(“standard”).Controls(“Sheet Navigator”)
  If c.ListIndex 0 Then
  Sheets(c.ListCount – c.ListIndex + 1).Activate
  End If
End Sub
