I have a workbook,which contains ActiveX control button and form control button and macros are assigned to those controls. these controls are working fine in excel 2007 but when I open this workbook in excel 2010, I am unable to click on those controls. Whenever I click on any button,it goes in design mode. Is there any solution available??
Neha your Excel Setting are preventing the ActiveX Buttons to become Active. Do this
Click On the File Tab | Options. Click on the Trust Center in the dialog box that opens and then click on Trust Center Setting. Go to ActiveX Setting and click on the option button Prompt Me before enabling all controls with minimal restrictions
Close the file and re-open it. You will get a Yellow Popup Bar asking you to enable the ActiveX. Click on yes and you are done :)

Whenever I add a custom Macro button to the Quick Access Toolbar , it is a generic Macro window invocation button. What I want is that if I click on the button, a specific Macro should directly start running. As of now there are 2-3 steps before I do that. First of all I click on the icon on the quick access toolbar , another small drop down shows up unnecessarily as shown here ( not sure why Add Ons is appearing here, I never added)
Secondly, if I click on the bigger Macros icon in the dropdown again , I get a dialog box where I have to choose macro from a list. I don't want to go through all this. As soon as I click on the button, a specific macro (I should be able to configure name of the macro) should start. I know there is a shortcut available for triggering a specific macro but I prefer a button.
If you don't want to configure QAT buttons manually you may consider developing a COM based add-in instead. See Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook for more information.
To customize the ribbon UI you can use the designer provided by VSTO, see Walkthrough: Create a custom tab by using the Ribbon Designer.
I am trying Excel Addin with dialog api, and I have such dialog below:
How can I change the content in green area?
How can I disable the close button in red area?
The title is the name of your add-in specified in the manifest file. It is out of your control.
There is no way to remove the close button on the upper right corner of the dialog window.
Read more about that in the Use the Office dialog API in Office Add-ins article.
I am developing a quotation process with VBA in an Excel Worksheet. I placed an ActiveX Frame control with 2 option buttons inside.
As soon as I leave Design Mode, the buttons disappear. I have made sure the buttons are visible, have the correct width and height and I know they are there because I can access them pragmatically.
The problem is, I guess, with the Frame control that probably has a bug.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, EOutlook
To add an option button to your frame, right-click the frame and choose "Frame object >> Edit" - add the option button from the toolbox which pops up, not from the Developer ribbon.
I am trying to add a new button under Fill color in Home tab in excel
I have tried adding my button by going to File > Option > Customize Ribbon but the options are disabled
I want to add my button in "Home" tab
Here is an interesting way of customizing the ribbon in excel (still works in Excel 2016) :
https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s2/win001.htm
In brief, with the help of CustomUI you will modify part of the file archive in the way that you can remove actual tabs, add your own tab, and custom buttons inside of it
You asked for adding a button in the "Home" tab, a workaround would be recreating "Home" tab in a personnal ribbon tab and adding your own button to it. Your personnal button could trigger a macro sub (VBA) or even use native Excel functionalities.
(I can help you further if you choose this way)
I have opened an excel file containing VBA password protected (not belonging to me) and from that moment on what happens is that the code remains in the VBA editor even if I close ALL the files (see atteched pic)
Such filed was called treelist and in the VBA editor "solver.XLMA"
Put in other words. Whatever excel of mine I opened now with or without vba code once I click "editor" the first thing I see is that "solver.XLMA" that I can not access nor delete. It is really anoying because I dont know what this code is doing.
(note: yes, I closed excel several times and opened it again. solver.xlma was still there)
As you see in the picture the "solver.xlma" stais even if I close all the excel workbooks.
Some idea of how can I get rid of it and what is going on here?
thx
It is a solver add-in. To turn it off:
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the
Add-Ins category.
In the Manage box, click Excel Add-ins, and then click Go. The Add-Ins dialog box appears.
In the Add-Ins available box, clear the check box next to the add-in that you want
to deactivade (Solver), and then click OK.
This is the answer:
That's the Solver Add-In. Go to File > Options > Add-Ins, then click Go beside "Manage Excel Add-ins". Uncheck the Solver Add-in and hit Ok
