List Box - Select an element?
Hi Nate,
Put a ListB ox from the Controls Toolbox
on a worksheet.
In a standard module (see below), paste
the following code:
'==========
Option Explicit
Public Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim SH As Worksheet
Dim arr As Variant
Dim LBox As OLEObject
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
Set SH = WB.Sheets("Sheet1") '<<====CHANGE
Set LBox = SH.OLEObjects("Listbox1") '<<====CHANGE
arr = VBA.Array("Blue", "Green", _
"Yellow", _
"Brown", _
"Grey", _
"Lilac", _
"Pink") '<<====CHANGE
Set LBox = SH.OLEObjects("Listbox1")
With LBox.Object
.Clear
.List = arr
End With
End Sub
'<<==========
Alt-F11 to open the VBA Editor
Menu | Insert | Module
Paste the above code
Alt-F11 To return to Excel
In the worksheet module (see below),
paste the following code:
'==========
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng As Range
Dim oleObj As OLEObject
Dim i As Long
Set oleObj = Me.OLEObjects("Listbox1") '<<====CHANGE
Set Rng = Me.Range("A1") '<<==== CHANGE
Set Rng = Intersect(Rng, Target)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
With oleObj.Object
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If StrComp(.List(i), Rng.Value, _
vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
.ListIndex = (i)
Exit For
End If
Next i
End With
End If
End Sub
'<<==========
The above code is worksheet event code
and should be pasted in the module behind
the worksheet:
Right-Click the worksheet tab
Select 'View Code'
Paste
Now, entering any of the ListBox values in
cell A1, on the sheet of interest, will select
that value in the ListBox.

Regards.

Hello I'm just wondering if it's possible to get the program to select a
value in a list box,
I have a lot of different codes all within a list box, and sometimes it's
quite hard to find a particular one. I'm just wondering if it'd be
possible
to let the user type in a code and then this automatically highlight the
found code within the list box?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Nathan
