form Controls change in excel

Hello Dave,

Thank you for replying :)
I need need command buttons for this.

R

Ok - that's what you got.  Check it out and see if the behavior is what you want.

Hello Dave,
If you can demo the push button, I can take a look – yes it would make more sense to see the state in which the section is..
Yes, that makes a lot of sense - With push buttons; it’s hard to visibly show the "state" that the button push would be in.
Users will first filter the data by M series and then sub filter them by the other checkboxes

Thanks again Dave for your quick help. The command button works great. If you have time and this is less complex, then you may post the in / out button and I can take a look.

There's a couple ways to do this.  The push buttons are activeX controls (so caveats about using them in worksheets.  While I do, some folks have quirky resize problems, so most MVPs will tell you not to use them except in userforms).

Moving on...

1.  Could create a click event for each button toggled, and do work from there,
2.  Or, do it in the script we already have, and just check the state of the push button.

Since we have to have event code anyway when the toggle happens, I'm doing it via #1, above, so will be similar to the command button routine.

so in the MainViewSheet codepage we have code like this:

Private Sub TB_1_Click()
    [m123_Range].Columns(2).Cells(1).Value = IIf(TB_1.Value = -1, 1, 0)
    Call doFilterGetResults
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

And for initialize we have added code like this:

Sub CBInitialize(wks As Worksheet)
Dim cBox As CheckBox
Dim objOLE As OLEObject

    'initialize all CheckBoxes to FALSE
    For Each cBox In wks.CheckBoxes
        If Left(UCase(cBox.Name), 2) = "CB" Then
            cBox.Value = False
        End If
    Next cBox

    'initialize all toggle buttons to FALSE
    For Each objOLE In wks.OLEObjects
        If objOLE.progID = "Forms.ToggleButton.1" And Left(objOLE.Name, 2) = "TB" Then
            objOLE.Object.Value = False
        End If
    
    Next objOLE
    
    Call clearMain(wks)
    
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

We check the name as with check boxes, to ensure we don't change toggle buttons or check boxes we don't want to - there could be others we DON'T want to use with the filtering, which is why we named them in the first place ;)


PS - at some point, you'll want to know how to do an event or change based on a change to ANY control, without having to create a function/subroutine STUB for each control as we have done in this workbook.  When you're ready, ask that question as there are classes that can be developed that check for clicks all in one set of code.

Hello Dave,

That is great. This button looks way better than the other one and shows the state – that’s perfect. Yes, I will ask that question next for the event handling. Way less code than what I have got now :)


R

Here's a tip - instead of assigning a new macro to each checkbox (which in turn calls the same macro) just have each checkbox call the main macro that needs to be called.

Not sure why I didn't point that out, earlier.

Just have all the checkboxes that end up calling doFilterGetResults() just linked to doFilterGetResults() rather than a _Click macro that calls doFilterGetResults().

Cheers,

Dave

Hello Dave,

I have posted two questions in EE

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27678898/Excel-column-to-add-as-filter.html

When you have time, you may take a look. I have attached files in both cases.

Thank you :)
