ActiveX Combo Box Focus
From MikeF and my comments. I have the same problem:
I am having the same problem and I am totally stumped. I have founds some code snippets on Debra's site. It looks something like this: Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _ KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _ ByVal Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode Case 9 'Tab ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate Case 13 'Enter ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate Case Else 'do nothing End Select End Sub I am getting some really funky results though. I am substituting 'TempCombo' with one of my activeX combo boxes.....Very rusty on my VB. Tab seems to hop around, but not where I want it to. Once it has hopped back into excel and I go back into combo box to delete the contents, it also will just bounce around....arrgggh! "MikeF" wrote: Thanx. You're right, the ESC key does work ok. The range.select code is also ok, if you're only using the drop-down with a mouse. Using word-search with the keyboard, it jumps immediately to the designated cell after the first letter typed. Again, ideally would like to assign the tab key to it, and just "tab off" after making the selection, but perhaps that is not possible. - Mike "FSt1" wrote: hi where do you want it to go once the tab key is pressed? the escape key works .....ok. takes you to the last cell selected before entering the combo box. you could add some code to make it go were you want after the selection is made. Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() Range("A1").Select 'or where ever End Sub code would eliminate the need to press a key after the selection. my thoughts regards FSt1 "MikeF" wrote: Am using an ActiveX ComboBox, presently with no VBA code. It "word searches" just fine, but then doesn't "do" anything once the choice is made, ie retains its focus. Hitting tab or enter does not return focus to Excel, the user has to physically grab the mouse and click in a cell. Hitting the tab key to return focus to Excel would be ideal. Any ideas? Regards, - Mike Thanks in advance |
