Hello,
I concider myself to be a self taught intermediate programmer so bear with me: I am using Excel 2000 VBA to create a custom dialog to run sorting features in a spreadsheet. I have a configuration menu consisting of a multipage object that I have left blank (without any tabs) in design mode. After the macro is initialized it looks to a sheet in the top row for the names it needs to create the multipage tabs, below each name is a list of codes that the type will look for. Each tab denotes a filter name type. On those new tabs I place listboxes to insert filter codes for those types and I set the listbox names to "lbxType" & X. where X is the number of the tab it is currently setting up and I'm hoping to use it as an enumeration tool later. This is the only way I know of to set this up to be dynamic at runtime as filter types and codes can come and go and even change order. As far as the setup process is concerned it runs perfectly. It creates all the tabs and listboxes and within each listbox all the types are correctly listed. The idea is to create a nice interface where a user can configure which filters to use and to add new filter codes when they come along without messing with the spreadsheet which I'm trying to keep protected from human input errors. Now, here is the problem I am running into: I CAN raise a click event for the tabs since the multipage object existed before runtime and heres a kicker: In the click event for the multipage object I can have it tell me the index of my selection in the listbox but I CAN'T seem to raise a click event on any of the listboxes created on the new tabs. I can pause the macro while it is running and watch all the variables of the form and see that the names on the listboxes were labeled correctly but I cannot get it to respond to a Private Sub lbxType1_click() event. I've also tried an array naming convention for the listboxes and entered the code: Private Sub lbxType_Click(ByVal Index as Integer) to no avail. How do I raise a click event for an object created at runtime? Here is a bit of the code used to load the multipage object: For reference, arrType is a two dimentional array preloaded with the category names and associated codes. ReDim ctrTDesc(UBound(arrType, 1)) ReDim ctrTList(UBound(arrType, 1)) For X = 1 To UBound(arrType, 1) 'Adding a new tab and setting it's name! frmConfig.mpgType.Pages.Add (arrType(X, 1)) 'Creates a label object and sets it to display the filter category name Set ctrTDesc(X) = frmConfig.mpgType.Pages(X - 1).Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1") ctrTDesc(X).Left = 5 ctrTDesc(X).Top = 5 ctrTDesc(X).Width = 200 ctrTDesc(X).Height = 25 ctrTDesc(X).Caption = arrType(X, 1) ctrTDesc(X).FontSize = 10 ctrTDesc(X).Font.Bold = True 'Creates a listbox to input filter codes into Set ctrTList(X) = frmConfig.mpgType.Pages(X - 1).Controls.Add("Forms.ListBox.1") ctrTList(X).Name = "lbxType" & X ' my problem seems to revolve around this but not sure. ctrTList(X).Left = 5 ctrTList(X).Top = 20 ctrTList(X).Width = 75 ctrTList(X).Height = 150 'Loads the filter codes into the listbox For Y = 3 To UBound(arrType, 2) If arrType(X, Y) < "" Then ctrTList(X).AddItem (arrType(X, Y)) Else Exit For Next Y Next X |
