EXCEL Userform - Creating multiple Labels and Textboxes with specific names - excel

I have a Data Entry Userform that works but now I want to replicate it I need 36 fields in total (144 items not including buttons)
for an example
Field 1 will consist of a TextBox and 3 labels. (Data Entry, Title, Bottom Border and FieldRequired label.
What I want to do is to generate the above with names like Txt1,Txt2,Txt3.... Title1, Title2, Title3, Bdr1,Bdr2,Bdr3, Fr1,Fr2,Fr3 and for some I need to create Listbox1,Listbox2 and Listbox3 inside of frames 1 2 and 3 but this I can do manually.
I want to separate them so 4 fields across and 9 fields down.
Is there an easy solution to doing this or just doing it manually?
I can sort of do this using the below and then just doing this 4 times and adding 80 to the left
I would then need do to the same for the other fields and apply the events to them and fonts/font sizes etc but I cant figure out how to use events against them.
Sub addLabel()
frmUserAdd.Show vbModeless
Dim lblid As Object
Dim lblc As Long
For lblc = 1 To 9
Set lblid = frmUserAdd.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", "Alert" & lblc, True)
With lblid
.Caption = "*Field Required" & lblc
.Left = 10
.Width = 60
.Top = 30 * lblc
End With
Next
end sub

Please, test the next scenario:
Insert a class module, name it "clsTbox" and copy the next code inside it:
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents newTBox As MSForms.TextBox
Private Sub newTBox_Change()
If Len(newTBox.Text) > 3 Then 'it do something for 4 entered digits:
Select Case CLng(Right(newTBox.name, 1))
Case 1, 3
MsgBox newTBox.name & " changed (" & newTBox.Text & ")"
Case 2, 4
MsgBox newTBox.name & " changed its text"
Case Else
MsgBox newTBox.name & " Different text..."
End Select
End If
End Sub
Insert a Userform and copy the next code in its code module:
Option Explicit
Private TBox() As New clsTBox
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Long, txtBox01 As MSForms.TextBox, leftX As Double, tWidth As Double, k As Long
Const txtBName As String = "Txt"
leftX = 20: tWidth = 50
ReDim TBox(10) 'use here the maximum number of text boxes you intend creating
For i = 1 To 5
Set txtBox01 = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1", txtBName & i)
With txtBox01
.top = 10
.left = leftX: leftX = leftX + tWidth
.width = tWidth
.Text = "something" & i
End With
Set TBox(k).newTBox = txtBox01: k = k + 1
Next i
ReDim Preserve TBox(k - 1) 'keep only the loaded array elements
End Sub
Now, show the form and play with text in the 5 newly created text boxes.
You can show one of its instances in the next way:
a) Name it "frmTxtBEvents"
b) Use the next Sub:
Sub ShowTheForm()
Dim frm As New frmTxtBEvents
frm.Show vbModeless
End Sub
When enter 4 characters, according to the last text box name digit their Change event will show specific message boxes...
If something not clear enough, do not hesitate to ask for clarifications.
But it is late in my country and (today) I will be available for no more than half an hour.

How do I put the value of check boxes in a textbox when i click a command button?

I'm quite new in using VBA Userforms. I have a series of check boxes and I want to put the value of the ticked checkboxes inside a text box when I click a command button. I have already renamed the check boxes and when I enter a code/formula I'm encountering an error. I hope you can help me with this.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call Level1
End Sub
Sub Level1()
Dim n As Long
For n = 26 To 89
'UserForm1.Controls("CheckBox" & n) = False
Next
Dim i As Long, txt As String
For i = 1 To 3
**If UserForm1.Controls("Checkbox" & i) = True Then** (Error Here)
txt = txt & UserForm1.Controls("Checkbox" & i).Caption & ", "
End If
Next
txt = Left(txt, Len(txt) - 2)
'Cells(1, 1) = txt
TextBox1.Value = txt
End Sub
My Userform looks like this.
When I click the Add to QA Form, the values that I ticked should be entered in the textbox
Is there anyway that this can be simplified? I have other check boxes that I need to enter and they are more than 50. Thank you.

Spinbar / Input Button Visibility

So I've been working on a spreadsheet that I'm going to use as a template for several more spreadsheets and I've gotten most of the template finished but I would like to add a feature involving the spinbar.
Currently I have 100 input buttons displayed and I know that I will not need 100 buttons for all the possible uses of the template, I just included 100 as a max.
I am looking to add a 1 - 100 spinbar so that it will automatically show/hide buttons depending on the number associated with the spinbar.
I should have no issues figuring out how to hide the buttons or show the buttons, but I cannot figure out the proper code to have buttons visible between 1 - 100.
Sub LocNum ()
Dim i As Integer
Dim n As Integer
n = Worksheets(1).Cell
For i = 1 To n
That's about as far as I can get, so if n is equal to 37 it should only have 37 buttons visible.
I'm getting my code from something I typed up previous before I took a break from it for quite awhile, here is the code.
Sub Populate()
Dim t As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim a As String
t = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count - 1
i = 0
For i = 2 To t
a = i - 1
If (ActiveSheet.Shapes("" + "btn.index" & i).Visible = True) Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes("" + "btn.index" & i).Select
Selection.OnAction = "" + "Location" & a + ""
Selection.Characters.Text = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
End Sub
Any help would be appreciated.
Not entirely sure your workflow, but this can help you show/hide the buttons either based on the index (I don't recommend) or the name of the button. You just call this Sub providing the number of buttons to show, rest (index/name higher than the number) will be hidden.
I will let you play with the OnAction.
Option Explicit
Sub ShowButtonsUpTo(ByVal ButtonCount As Long)
Dim oButton As Button ' or Object
For Each oButton In Worksheets(1).Buttons
With oButton
' Based on Index (not recommend):
.Visible = (.Index <= ButtonCount)
' Based on Name (button name):
If InStr(1, .Name, "btn.index", vbTextCompare) = 1 Then
.Visible = (CLng(Replace(.Name, "btn.index", "")) <= ButtonCount)
End If
End With
Next oButton
End Sub

Re-write dynamic textbox after button is pressed

I've created a code in VBA to collect data using a multi-page control. In each page, I've added checkboxes dynamically based on rows from the worksheet in Excel and, for each checkbox, there's a textbox and 2 command buttons, just like the image below:
Input Window:
The code to automatically add controls is:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
fmat_disp.Value = 0
fmat_set.Value = 0
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Inspeção de Mecânica
Sheets("Mecânica").Activate
n_anom = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("1:1")) - 1
AreasInspecao.mecanica.ScrollHeight = 10 + 18 * (n_anom)
For i = 1 To n_anom
'Selecionar anomalia
Set SelAnom = AreasInspecao.mecanica.Controls.Add("Forms.CheckBox.1", "sel_anom_" & i)
SelAnom.Caption = Worksheets("Mecânica").Cells(1, i + 1)
SelAnom.AutoSize = True
SelAnom.Height = 18
SelAnom.Left = 5
SelAnom.Top = 5 + (SelAnom.Height) * (i - 1)
SelAnom.Tag = i
Same goes to the textbox and plus/minus buttons, only changing the captions.
What I want is:
1) when CHECKBOX is CHECKED, respective TEXTBOX must show 1
2) when MINUS sign is PRESSED, respective TEXTBOX must decrement
3) when PLUS sign is PRESSED, respective TEXTBOX must increment
4) when "Finalizar Inspeção" is PRESSED, all data collected must be sent to Excel, filling a worksheet.
I simply don't know how to link each button/checkbox to your respective textbox without creating a subroutine for each one! I'll have ~500 subroutines....that's impossible to manage manually....
OK here's a rough outline for handling the click events on the checkboxes and buttons.
First two custom classes for capturing the clicks: each of these is very simple - all they do is call a method on the userform with the clicked control as an argument.
'clsCheck
Public WithEvents chk As MSForms.CheckBox
Private Sub chk_Click()
frmExample.HandleClick chk
End Sub
'clsButton
Public WithEvents btn As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub btn_Click()
frmExample.HandleClick btn
End Sub
Userform code - my form is named "frmExample".
Note the naming convention which allows groups of controls to be treated as a "unit".
Option Explicit
'These two global collections hold instances of the custom classes
Dim colCheckBoxes As Collection
Dim colButtons As Collection
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Const CON_HT As Long = 18
Dim x As Long, cbx As MSForms.CheckBox, t
Dim btn As MSForms.CommandButton, txt As MSForms.TextBox
Dim oCheck As clsCheck, oButton As clsButton
Set colCheckBoxes = New Collection
Set colButtons = New Collection
For x = 1 To 10
t = 5 + CON_HT * (x - 1)
Set cbx = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CheckBox.1", "cbox_" & x)
cbx.Caption = "Checkbox" & x
cbx.Width = 80
cbx.Height = CON_HT
cbx.Left = 5
cbx.Top = t
colCheckBoxes.Add GetCheckHandler(cbx) '<< save in collection
Set btn = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "btnplus_" & x)
btn.Caption = "+"
btn.Height = CON_HT
btn.Width = 20
btn.Left = 90
btn.Top = t
btn.Enabled = False '<<buttons start off disabled
colButtons.Add GetButtonHandler(btn) '<< save in collection
Set btn = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "btnminus_" & x)
btn.Caption = "-"
btn.Height = CON_HT
btn.Width = 20
btn.Left = 130
btn.Top = t
btn.Enabled = False '<<buttons start off disabled
colButtons.Add GetButtonHandler(btn) '<< save in collection
'no events are captured for the textboxes...
Set txt = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Textbox.1", "txt_" & x)
txt.Width = 30
txt.Height = CON_HT
txt.Left = 170
txt.Top = t
Next x
End Sub
'All "clicked" controls saved in instances of the custom classes
' get passed here. Handle based on control type/name
Public Sub HandleClick(ctrl As MSForms.Control)
Dim num
num = Split(ctrl.Name, "_")(1) 'which set of controls are we working with?
Dim txt As MSForms.TextBox
'get the matching text box...
Set txt = Me.Controls("txt_" & num)
If ctrl.Name Like "cbox_*" Then
If ctrl.Value Then txt.Value = 1
Me.Controls("btnplus_" & num).Enabled = ctrl.Value
Me.Controls("btnminus_" & num).Enabled = ctrl.Value
ElseIf ctrl.Name Like "btnplus_*" Then
txt.Value = txt.Value + 1
ElseIf ctrl.Name Like "btnminus_*" Then
txt.Value = txt.Value - 1
End If
End Sub
'couple of "factory" functions for the event-handling classes
Private Function GetCheckHandler(cb As MSForms.CheckBox)
Dim rv As New clsCheck
Set rv.chk = cb
Set GetCheckHandler = rv
End Function
Private Function GetButtonHandler(btn As MSForms.CommandButton)
Dim rv As New clsButton
Set rv.btn = btn
Set GetButtonHandler = rv
End Function

Syntax to read out dynamically named textbox in userform in vba excel?

I dynamically create a userform named UserForm1. In it, I generate textboxes, which will be filled manually by a user. Afterwards I would like to read their value but I don't know how to call the (value of the) textbox.
The following bit of code is used to create and name the textboxes:
With UserForm1 'scaling userform
.Height = max_width
.Width = 600
End With
For test1 = 1 To nr_of_zeros + 1 'create textboxes
Set ctextbox = Controls.Add("forms.textbox.1", test1) 'creating textbox
With ctextbox 'scaling textbox
.Height = 20
.Width = 40
.Top = 40 + 25 * test1
.Left = 400
End With
So the textbox will have the name of the number (integer or long?) of test1.
I tried the following sentences to try to read the value of the textbox into: absorb_text but unsuccesfull so far. Does anybody know the correct complete way to call the above created textbox?
'ctextbox.name = Controls.Add("forms.textbox.1", test1) 'creating textbox
'absorb_text = forms("textbox").Controls(test1).Value
'absorb_text = forms.("UserForm1").textbox.(test1).value
forms.textbox.1.(test1)
strname = TextBox1(test1).Text
(Analog to, one does not call cell "A2" by)
.range("A2")
but with
Thisworkbook.worksheets("sheetname").range("A2").text
Thisworkbook.worksheets("sheetname").range("A2").value
Thisworkbook.worksheets("sheetname").cells(2,1).text
Thisworkbook.worksheets("sheetname").cells(2,1).value
Thank you very much! I was still wondering why/what the 1 does in "forms.textbox.1" I copied it because it worked, but am confused by its function.
Also in light of your discussion below: I believe, technically the code does not look for a control name that is equal to the/a number 1 but to a string character which happens to equal the character 1. hence it is not equal to a number but a character.
*argument against that is that it still works with: `If ctrl.Name = 1 Then' in which case I would think the 1 is treated as a number.
When you created your TextBoxes in your code line:
Set ctextbox = Controls.Add("forms.textbox.1", test1) the names of your Textboxes is 1, 2, 3, etc.
In order to read your TextBoxes (created at run-time) I loop through all Controls of the User_Form, check if it's type TextBox, and check the Name property of the Control.
Code
Option Explicit
Private Sub ReadRunTimeTextBox()
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim absorb_text As String
' loop through all control in user form
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
' check if control is type TextBox
If TypeName(ctrl) = "TextBox" Then
' if control name is 1 (first created TextBox in your array)
If ctrl.Name = "1" Then
absorb_text = ctrl.Text
' the message box is for debug only
MsgBox absorb_text
End If
End If
Next ctrl
End Sub
Here are two more ways to refer to the dynamically added control
Const nr_of_zeros = 4
For test1 = 1 To nr_of_zeros + 1 'create textboxes
Debug.Print Controls(test1)
Next
Debug.Print Me![1]
Debug.Print Me![2]
Debug.Print Me![3]
Debug.Print Me![4]

code multiple comboboxes on excel userform

I have a userform with multiple dependent Comboboxes. I would like to add the following code to 10 of the Comboboxes Change event. The Comboboxes to be coded are Numbered 11 to 20 (Combobox11, Combobox 12, etc) while the dependent Comboboxes are numbered 21 to 30.
I could copy and paste the code 10 times and then find and replace the relevant Combobox Nos.
Is there a way to use a loop through the Combo-Boxes to achieve this?
Any assistance would be most grateful.
Private Sub ComboBox11_Change()
Dim index As Integer
index = ComboBox11.ListIndex
ComboBox21.Clear
Select Case index
Case Is = 0
With ComboBox21
.RowSource = Range("SubCat1").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 1
With ComboBox21
.RowSource = Range("SubCat6").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 2
With ComboBox21
.RowSource = Range("SubCat7").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 3
With ComboBox21
.RowSource = Range("SubCat8").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 4
With ComboBox21
.RowSource = Range("SubCat9").Address(external:=True)
End With
'and several more case options
End Select
End Sub
You can use a Class Module, and a User_Init Sub to set each ComboBox control in the user form to this class.
In my code I used Main_Form as the name of the User_Form, modify the code according to your User_Form Name.
Add a Calls Module, and add this code below in Class 1:
Public WithEvents ComboBoxEvents As MSForms.ComboBox
' anytime a Change event occurs to any ComboBox, the Sub is triggered
Private Sub ComboBoxEvents_Change()
Dim ComboBox_Index As String
Dim index As Integer
With ComboBoxEvents
' read the index of the ComboBox, as long as the names remain ComboBox1, ComboBox2, ComboBox3, etc...
ComboBox_Index = Mid(.Name, 9)
' run this code if it's ComboBox 11 to 20
If ComboBox_Index >= 11 And ComboBox_Index <= 20 Then
index = .ListIndex
Select Case index
Case Is = 0
With Main_Form.Controls("ComboBox" & ComboBox_Index + 10)
.RowSource = Range("SubCat1").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 1
With Main_Form.Controls("ComboBox" & ComboBox_Index + 10)
.RowSource = Range("SubCat6").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 2
With Main_Form.Controls("ComboBox" & ComboBox_Index + 10)
.RowSource = Range("SubCat7").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 3
With Main_Form.Controls("ComboBox" & ComboBox_Index + 10)
.RowSource = Range("SubCat8").Address(external:=True)
End With
Case Is = 4
With Main_Form.Controls("ComboBox" & ComboBox_Index + 10)
.RowSource = Range("SubCat9").Address(external:=True)
End With
'and several more case options
End Select
End If
End With
End Sub
The code below goes in your User_Form_Init (in my code the name of the User_Form is Main-Form) :
Option Explicit
Dim ComboBoxes() As New Class1
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim ComboBoxCounter As Integer, Obj As Control
For Each Obj In Me.Controls
If TypeOf Obj Is MSForms.ComboBox Then
ComboBoxCounter = ComboBoxCounter + 1
ReDim Preserve ComboBoxes(1 To ComboBoxCounter)
Set ComboBoxes(ComboBoxCounter).ComboBoxEvents = Obj
End If
Next Obj
Set Obj = Nothing
End Sub
the way is using Class
add a Class module and name it after "CmbBox" (you can choose whatever name but be consistent with it)
add the following code into the class code pane:
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents Cmb As MSForms.ComboBox
Private Sub Cmb_Change()
Dim index As Long
With Cmb
index = .ListIndex
With .Parent.Controls("ComboBox" & Mid(.Name, 9) + 10)
.Clear
Select Case index
Case 0
.RowSource = Range("SubCat1").Address(external:=True)
Case 1 To 4
.RowSource = Range("SubCat" & index + 5).Address(external:=True)
End Select
End With
End With
End Sub
Then switch to your userfom code pane and add this code:
Dim Cmbs(1 To 10) As New CmbBox '<--| this must be at the very top of your userform code pane
Sub Userform_Initialize()
Dim i As Long
With Me.Controls
For i = 11 To 20
Set Cmbs(i - 10).Cmb = .Item("ComboBox" & i)
Next i
End With
End Sub
and that's it
