CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
I have 8 check boxes in Excel on rows 1:4 and 6:9. I have other macros that
hide and unhide these rows together or separately. When all rows are hidden and then unhidden, the checkboxes all stack up at the bottom on row 10. Any property value I am overlooking with respect to the movements? Thanks, GoldenFoot |

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
If you're using checkboxes from the Control Toolbox Toolbar, you can select them
all and then rightclick on the selection and: Format Control|Properties tab|Check Move and size with cells And make sure that each checkbox is completely in that cell/row. If you're using checkboxes from the Forms toolbar, you won't be able to do this. (I'd replace them with the control toolbox toolbar version.)

Dave, this is an old one, but it is assisting me with fixing my current
problem. The "move and size with cells" is gray, not an option to choose. I'm sure that is why I am having a similar problem as the person below. Any insight as to why I am not being allowed the option to check that box? The other two are available to pick.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
There are two checkboxes that look very much alike.
The checkbox from the Forms toolbar does not allow this setting. The checkbox from the control toolbox toolbar does allow it. Are you sure you used the checkbox that you really wanted to use???

YOU ARE WONDERFUL! That is exactly it. I just searched help on check box
and it explained the one from the forms menu, so that's what I used. I will change all of them out immediately! Thank you!

I need some more assistance. I did a test check box from the control
toolbox. I can't get it to do the check mark, it stays in some sort of "edit" mode (or something). Any thoughts?

On the Control Toolbox Toolbar at upper left you will see an Icon looks like a
T-square and a triangle. Click on that to get out of "design mode". Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 31 May 2008 16:31:00 -0700, Carla wrote: I need some more assistance.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
Thank you your assistance has now led me to my next question. Previously, I
was able to link the forms checkbox to the cell in which it resided and was able to create an if statement based on whether it was checked (true) or not (false). How do I do that sort of thing with a control checkbox? Thank you, Carla "Gord Dibben" wrote: On the Control Toolbox Toolbar at upper left you will see an Icon looks like a T-square and a triangle.

You have to be in design mode.
Right click on the checkbox Select Properties Type the address in the LinkedCell property box. Get out of design mode to test. I like to give those cells a custom number format: ;;; (3 semicolons) That'll hide the value, but I can still see it in the formula bar with that cell selected.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
Now, all is working perfectly. I am finally trying to make the actual check
box bigger, it's so tiny. When I adjust the height and width (in properties) it only makes the area around the checkbox bigger. P.S. as for the custom number format, I had never heard that before. What I have always do when I don't want something seen, I change the font to white. Thank you, Carla "Dave Peterson" wrote: You have to be in design mode.

You can change the zoom factor so everything looks bigger, but that's about it.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
If I insert or delete a row the "link" stays accurate with the changing row
number, so that works okay. I thought it was all good, but I have an issue. I tried both copy/paste and cut/paste of a line that has a checkbox in it and the checkbox didn't go with. What do I need to do to make the boxes follow the cells they are linked to when they move and then change the row reference in the link field? P.S. I have "move but don't size with cells" checked.

I'm betting that the checkbox was not completely within the row before you
copied that row. I'd double check the positioning and then try the copy|paste once more. And you have to assign the linked cell to the new row yourself. The pasted checkbox will still point back to the original linkedcell. Carla wrote: If I insert or delete a row the "link" stays accurate with the changing row number, so that works okay.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
I'm trying to do the same thing in Excel 2002 but there is no option "Move
and size with cells" (unless I'm looking in the wrong place!). I've created the check boxes from selecting them from the Control Toolbox Toolbar. Can this be done in Excel 2002?

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
A bit more clarity surrounding my problem.
I'm using Excel 2002 and I've got a number of check boxes which are currently hidden in rows 16:19. How can you automatically unhide them when another check box (which isn't hidden) is selected? I've tried the following code but it objects when it gets to "ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox12").Select": Private Sub CheckBox1_Click() Rows("15:20").Select Range("A20").Activate Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox12").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox13").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox14").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox15").Select Selection.Visible = True End Sub "Dave Peterson" wrote: There are two checkboxes that look very much alike.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
Go into design mode.
Rightclick on the checkbox and select Format Control You'll see it on the properties tab.

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info - I was looking in the wrong place! I still have a problem though. I've got a number of check boxes which are currently hidden in rows 16:19. How can you automatically unhide them when another check box (which isn't hidden) is selected? I've tried the following code but I get an error which the debug points to "ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox12").Select": Private Sub CheckBox1_Click() Rows("15:20").Select Range("A20").Activate Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox12").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox13").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox14").Select Selection.Visible = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("CheckBox15").Select Selection.Visible = True End Sub Do you know what the problem is?

CheckBoxes Stack up when Rows are hidden and unhidden
Hi Dave,
I can now unhide the check boxes but I now want to differentiate between selecting and deselecting the original check box. e.g. If the original check box is selected, I want the hidden check boxes/rows to appear. If the original check box is de-selected, I want the rows/check boxes to be hidden again. Can this be done? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Go into design mode.

if me.checkbox1.value = true then
me.checkbox2.visible = true else me.checkbox2.visible = false end if (or something like that.)
