Focus on textbox of Choice
I have 5 textboxes on a sheet and a number of Checkboxes the names of
which are the opening statements that I want pasted in "the next available" textbox.... ie. Textbox1 is named..... "Mechanisation problem " Using Application.caller and the macro below I can paste this into a free textbox to start the user off on a pre-ordained fault script and by selecting the same Checkbox again clear the box.... so far so good all works well until... ( and it would appear this is, as we say, a "Hot Potatoe") I can't get focus STABLE on the textbox? The strange thing is if I repeat the sequence (select to remove then immediately select again focus is achieved) I have tried dipping-out to a cell prior to running the main macro to establish a common "launch-point" but this is ignored..... gone so far and stumped at the finishing post .... Any help appreciated. Sub setup3() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim cbo As MSForms.TextBox Dim obj As OLEObject Dim Message As Variant Message = Application.Caller ChckLength = Len(Application.Caller) 'ActiveSheet.Range("K8").Select this does nothing !!!! With ActiveSheet For Each obj In .OLEObjects If TypeName(obj.Object) = "TextBox" Then If Left(obj.Object.Text, ChckLength) = Message Then obj.Object.Text = "" Exit Sub End If End If Next End With ActiveSheet.Range("K8").Select ' same here !!!!! With ActiveSheet For Each obj In .OLEObjects If TypeName(obj.Object) = "TextBox" Then Set cbo = obj.Object Set TB = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(cbo.Name) If Trim(obj.Object.Text) = "" Then obj.Object.Text = Message & " " GoTo ending End If End If Next End With ending: cbo.Select Selection.Activate End Sub |
