Right click on the worksheet tab and select view code. In the left dropdown
at the top of the module select Workbook. From the right dropdown at the
top of the module select SelectionChange. You will get a event procedure
declaration like this:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

This will fire each time you change the selection, so you can use it to
update your textbox

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.Address(0,0)
Case "C1"
ActiveSheet.TextBox1.Value = "One"
Case "D3", "F1", "M12"
ActiveSheet.Textbox1.Value = "Two
Case Else
ActiveSheet.TextBox1.Value = ""
end Select
End Sub
