Spinbar / Input Button Visibility - excel

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

EXCEL Userform - Creating multiple Labels and Textboxes with specific names

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.

vba trouble working with cutomizable multiple Listbox with multiple macro

So here's my objective: I need to execute different macros deppending on a multiple choice ListBox. I am a begginner with vba and some tasks get a bit harder for me at the moment.
there's a multiple choice ListBox with 9 options. If you choose the option "Exfoliación", it executes the macro called "macro4". This is fully customizable, so if I choose from the ListBox the option "Exfoliación" and "Estanqueidad", it will execute the macros 4 and 3 (the ones related to them).
I've seen some example surfinf the Internet, but they're about ListBox's working with columns, sheets, and so on. But there weren't much explanations working with macros.
The user selects the options and presses a Submit button in the worksheet called "Botón". the choices from the Listbox are marked with vector(i)=1. With a for loop the choices are read and executes the corresponding macros to those choices with the array a(i) that contains the names of those macros.
Sub Submit()
'Getting selected items in ListBox1
Dim vector(1 To 11) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim a(1 To 9) As String
'Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
For i = LBound(a) To UBound(a)
vector(i) = 0
Next i
With Sheets("Botón").ListBox1
Select Case (ListBox1.Text)
Case "Tornillo Resorte": vector(1) = 1
Case "Categoría Manguito": vector(2) = 1
Case "Estanqueidad": vector(3) = 1
Case "Exfoliación": vector(4) = 1
Case "Material vaina": vector(5) = 1
Case "Diseño EC": vector(6) = 1
Case "Curva Q vs Enriquecimiento": vector(7) = 1
Case "Curva Criticidad": vector(8) = 1
Case "Curva de carga t. enfriamiento": vector(9) = 1
Case "Condicioón de transporte": vector(10) = 1
Case "ATI": vector(11) = 1
Case ""
MsgBox "nothing selected"
Case Else
MsgBox Me.ListBox1.Text
End Select
Dim MN As String
For i = 1 To N 'Fill the array
a(i) = "macro" & i
Next
MN = "Módulo5" 'Module where i have the worksheet I'm working with
Dim N As Integer
N = 11
For i = LBound(a) To UBound(a)
If vector(i) = 1 Then
Application.Run MN & "." & a(i)
End If
Next i
End Sub
I find trouble with the Select Case (ListBox1.Text) statement.
It doesn't compile and don't know how to call the listBox with Select Case.
thank you in advance for your help :)
Edit: with a new code. Method with selection:
`Private Sub Command Button1_Click() 'This is a button that opens the multilist with the different options. It works correctly
Worksheets("Botón").ListBox1.Clear
ListBox1.Height=200
ListBox1.Width=250
Dim mylist As Variant
mylist=Array("Tornillo Resorte",...,"Condicioón de transporte")
ListBox1.List=mylist
End Sub
Sub Submit() ''here's the macro with the button assigned to execute the selection. This is where I get the problem.
With Sheets("Botón").ListBox1
MN = "Módulo5" 'Module where i have the worksheet I'm working with
For X = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
If ListBox1.Selected(X) = True Then
Application.Run MN & "." & .ListIndex + 1
Else
MsgBox "No se ha seleccionado ningún filtro"
End If
Next X
End With
End Sub
If you only wanted to select one macro - and assuming the macros are named sequentially macro1 to macrox, then you can just do this:
Sub Submit()
With Sheets("Botón").ListBox1
if .listindex = -1 then
MsgBox "nothing selected"
Else
MN = "Módulo5" 'Module where i have the worksheet I'm working with
Application.Run MN & "." & .listindex +1
End If
End With
End Sub
If you want to do more than one then you need to loop through the .selected array calling the macros sequentially

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.

Pass Arguments through Onaction with CheckBoxes

So i have been at this for a while now and I have searched through many websites and forums but alas I can not find a solution to my issue.
I am trying to add arguments to an .OnAction event for a Checkbox
So.. For example
Dim chk as Checkbox
With chk
.name = "chk" & .TopLeftCell.Offset(0, -7).Text
.Caption = ""
.Left = cel.Left + (cel.Width / 2 - chk.Width / 2) + 7
.Top = cel.Top + (cel.Height / 2 - chk.Height / 2)
.OnAction = "CheckboxHandle(chk)"
End With
So if I was trying to call this sub -> Public Sub CheckboxHandle(obj As CheckBox)
It requries a CheckBox Object to be able to run (this can change to a shape/Object if necessary)
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Changing the data type to object and shape however i couldn't find a way to pass it through
Variations of the below statements
"""CheckboxHandle(chk)"""
"'CheckboxHandle" ""chk"" '"
Application.caller then looping through objects to find the object whit that name (this takes way too long as I have over 300 Checkboxes)
CONTEXT
In case the context helps I am trying to add a checkbox to every cell in a range and then have each one call the same method when they are clicked. I need the OnAction to send an Object as i look for the TopleftCell of the Object to change the colour of the adjacent cells
IN CASE IT IS HELPFUL
here is the method i would like to call from the OnAction Event
Public Sub CheckboxHandle(obj As CheckBox)
Dim rng As Range
'Sneaky sneaky changes
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'For Loop to go through each of the cells to the left of the check box
For Each rng In Range(obj.TopLeftCell, obj.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, -7))
With rng
'if the checkbox is checked
If obj.Value = -1 Then
.Interior.Color = RGB(202, 226, 188)
'Adds the date and the person so you know who did the edit
obj.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now & " by " & Application.username
Else
'if it isn't checked
.Interior.Pattern = xlNone
'removes the edit name and date
obj.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
End If
End With
Next rng
'Shows all the changes at the same time
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'Changes the value of the progress bar to represent the project completion
If obj.Value = -1 Then
ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Value = ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Value + 1 / 207
Else
ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Value = ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Value - 1 / 207
End If
End Sub
Any help on this issue would be much appreciated

I don't think that you can pass an object via the OnAction. The OnAction-property is a string holding the name of a Sub (plus parameter).
You could try to pass the name of the checkBox instead. Note that you have to enclose the name of the checkbox in double quotes, so that you would get something like. CheckboxHandle "chk123":
.OnAction = "'CheckboxHandle """ & .Name & """'"
And change your Action-routine
Public Sub CheckboxHandle(chbBoxName as string)
dim chk as CheckBox
Set chk = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(chkBoxName)

VBA Option Button does not get centered

I have a worksheet that has two rows of option buttons. Option buttons 1 - 11 are on row 7 and option buttons 12 - 22 are on row 9 of the sheet. My code loops through and centers each option button in its appropriate cell by calling the centerOfCell function.
When I run my program Worksheets("Orders") gets passed into the CenterOptionButton procedure, and all of the option buttons get centered EXCEPT for option button 1. I cannot figure out why this happens.
Sub CenterOptionButton(wks As Worksheet)
Dim i As Byte
With wks
Select Case .Name
Case "RDC", "SKU"
optionCount = 8
Case "Orders"
optionCount = 11
Case Else
End Select
For i = 1 To optionCount
.OLEObjects("OptionButton" & i).Left = centerOfCell(.Cells(7, i + 1))
.OLEObjects("OptionButton" & i + optionCount).Left = centerOfCell(.Cells(9, i + 1))
Next i
End With
End Sub
If I then run the below procedure all by itself substituting out wks with Worksheets("Orders"), everything works perfectly. Any idea on what the issue could be?
Sub test()
Dim i As Byte
With Worksheets("Orders")
Select Case .Name
Case "RDC", "SKU"
optionCount = 8
Case "Orders"
optionCount = 11
Case Else
End Select
For i = 1 To optionCount
.OLEObjects("OptionButton" & i).Left = centerOfCell(.Cells(7, i + 1))
.OLEObjects("OptionButton" & i + optionCount).Left = centerOfCell(.Cells(9, i + 1))
Next i
End With
End Sub
Try to copy the other option button and replace the first option button. The issue might get resolved. As for why it is happening I would not know. Excel has been know to through up unknown errors. I would normally recreate the file or object and the issue is usually solved.
