User to choose an item from a list
 

Hi,

I want to offer user with a window containing names of the months in a
year seperately on each line.

The user would choose one of the 12 and press something like ok and I
want the month chosen by the user to be stored in a variable in my
code.

If I can get some skeleton code for similar situation I can try to
customise this for my requirements.

Please guide me as to how I may achieve the same.

Create a list of month names somewhere in your workbook, and name it
(InsertNameDefine...) say Months.

Then use Data Validation (DataValidation) with a type of list and a value
of =Months.

Bob,

Thanks for the response. Iam aware of this feature of Data validation
using Named ranges.

Actually am writing some code to produce some reports and in the midst
of it I need to prompt the user about the month for which the report
needs to be generated. I want to avoid user entering his options in the
workbook itself. Rather I want this to be done at run-time of the code.
Hence, my request to offer user a window and once chosen, store user's
response in a variable.

Please guide me for the same.

You will need to define an userform.

Here is an example: http://cjoint.com/?futKV4V1wA
NB: you must double-click a month to select it

Userform code is:

'-------------
Option Explicit

Private Sub lbMonth_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim iMonth As Byte
Dim aMonthArray(12, 2) As Variant
For iMonth = 1 To 12
aMonthArray(iMonth - 1, 0) = iMonth
aMonthArray(iMonth - 1, 1) = _
Format(DateSerial(0, iMonth, 1), "mmmm")
Next iMonth
lbMonth.List = aMonthArray
End Sub
'--------------

test code (your macro) is:

'-------------
Sub test()
Dim iMonth As Integer
ufSelectMonth.Show
iMonth = ufSelectMonth.lbMonth.Value
MsgBox iMonth
End Sub
'--------------

Ardus,

Thanks for your code. It works really great.

I hope to use this technique for my other requirements as well.
