Test if cell.validation is set
 

Dear All,

This codeline triggers an error if no validation is set (any value)

If ActiveCell.Validation.Type = xlValidateList Then

How can I first test if validation is set ?

If 'ActiveCell.valudation is set ' then
If ActiveCell.Validation.Type = xlValidateList Then
..................code........................
end if
end if

Thanks,

Filips

Test if cell.validation is set
 

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Public Function HasValidation(r As Range) As Boolean
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim i
Dim ma As Range
On Error Resume Next
HasValidation = True
i = r.Validation.Type
If Err.Number < 0 Then
HasValidation = False
Exit Function
End If
Set ma = r.MergeArea
If ma.Cells(1, 1).Address < r.Address Then
HasValidation = False
End If
End Function

Found this using Google:

One way:

Dim mycel As Range
Dim vald As Variant
Set mycel = Range("D2")
On Error Resume Next
vald = mycel.Validation.Type
On Error GoTo 0
If vald < Empty Then
MsgBox "yes the cell have validation"
Else
MsgBox "no no, the cell is general."
End If


Hope this helps
