Hello

I have a problem with my OptionButtons and my GroupBoxes.

In a form, which is a kind of survey, GroupBoxes and OptionButtons are automatically generated, depending on the number of questions.

Each OptionButton must fit in a cell, and a GroupBox has to include many OptionButtons.

But there is a problem. Some OptionButtons are not included in the GroupBox :(
So, it is possible to select more than one option button into the group !

You can see it on the following capture :

Or this one :
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/364359PbExcel.png


You can play with the attached file to see the problem.

Or use the following code :

Sub Bouton1_Clic()

Dim myCell As Range
Dim numCell As Integer
Dim myGroupBox As GroupBox
Dim myOptionButton As OptionButton

ActiveSheet.OptionButtons.Delete
ActiveSheet.GroupBoxes.Delete

numCell = 0
For Each myCell In ActiveSheet.Range("E2:E12").Cells
If numCell = 0 Then
Set myGroupBox = ActiveSheet.GroupBoxes.Add(myCell.Left, myCell.Top, myCell.Width, (myCell.Height * 3))
myGroupBox.Caption = ""
End If
numCell = numCell + 1
If numCell = 3 Then numCell = 0
Next

numCell = 0
For Each myCell In ActiveSheet.Range("E2:E13").Cells
Set myOptionButton = ActiveSheet.OptionButtons.Add(myCell.Left, myCell.Top, 5, 5)
myOptionButton.Caption = ""
Next

End Sub


Thanks a lot for your help.

First, I didn't download your attachment.

But when I looked at your code, you're using the height of the cell times 3.
That looks like it would be more than your single rowheight (overlapping the
row(s) below).

I'd change that to be exactly the height of the row to start my testing.

And I'd look at Debra Dalgleish's site to see if there's any hints/tips that I
could use:

ps.

Is there a reason you use E2:E12 in one loop, but E2:E13 in the other?

In fact, the reason of the problem is that the groupbox didn't totally enclose the last OptionButton.
So this button was assigned in a new groupbox, automatically created to manage the OptionButtons not included in a groupBox.

That's why I could select more than 1 optionButton in a group, and that's also why if I click on an optionButton of a group it could uncheck an optionButton of another group (these optionButton were assigned to the default groupBox because they were not enclosed in the groupBoxes I created).

I don't know if it's clear enough :)

So the solution was to make a little bigger my groupBoxes to be sure to enclose all the optionButton I want, but not too big to not include the optionButtons of another group.

It works pretty well, excepted with some small zoom. But it's ok for me.

Before posting my problem, I tried the Debra Dalgleish's survey : http://contextures.com/xlForm01.html
But she has the same problem :)
If you configure the sheet zoom to 55%, and then execute the macro "setupSurvey", you can see that you can select the 2 last optionButtons of each row !
And if you select the last OptionButton of another row, it will uncheck another one, because they are not enclose in the groupBox created by the macro, but there are in a groupBox automatically created to manage the "orphan" OptionButtons.

Thank you for your help.

I've had trouble when the zoom wasn't set to 100%.

My solution was to change the zoom to 100%, run the code to add the
buttons/groupboxes and then change the zoom back.

I can't remember when it hasn't worked.

I've often experienced many different (and unpredictable) results using
controls/shapes on worksheets when rows/cols need to be hidden or zoom
is changed. I've swithched to using worksheet events that manage
specific cells so as they look/behave like buttons or checkboxes. I use
conditional DV dropdowns for option selections where options are listed
but not enabled. Otherwise, the DV dropdowns are dependant on a list
which may or may not be dependant on another dropdown. Lots of work to
figure it all out but worth it in the end <IMO because my worksheet
forms behave as expected when I don't need to use Form/ActiveX
controls. Works very nice when you need a worksheet to behave like a
userform wizard!
