Excel 2010 userform

Hi there,

You can use something like this in your userform code module...


Private Sub CboProduct_KeyUp(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
    Dim wsCheck As Worksheet
    Dim rCheck As Range
    Dim rFilter As Range
    Dim cProd As Range
    Dim sChars As String
    Set wsCheck = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("INVENTORY")
    Set rCheck = wsCheck.Range("A2", wsCheck.Cells(wsCheck.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
    Set rFilter = wsCheck.Range("A3", wsCheck.Cells(wsCheck.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
    sChars = Me.CboProduct.Value
    If sChars = vbNullString Then
        Me.CboProduct.Clear
        For Each cProd In wsCheck.Range("A3", wsCheck.Cells(wsCheck.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
            With Me.CboProduct
                .AddItem cProd.Value
                .List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = cProd.Offset(0, 3).Value
            End With
            Next cProd
        Exit Sub
    End If
    If KeyCode < 33 Or KeyCode > 126 Then Exit Sub
    rCheck.AutoFilter 1, sChars & "*"
    On Error Resume Next
    Me.CboProduct.Clear
    For Each cProd In rFilter.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
        With Me.CboProduct
            .AddItem cProd.Value
            .List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = cProd.Offset(0, 3).Value
        End With
    Next cProd
    wsCheck.AutoFilterMode = False
End Sub


Basically it's using AutoFilter to filter for the characters you entered into the combobox and 1) clearing the combobox, 2) re-populating the combobox with the filtered values.  You should also add this line to a userform close routine (I didn't see one in your file, so just add it to your userform code module)...


Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("INVENTORY").AutoFilterMode = False
End Sub

Thanks for the code. Can it be altered a bit? When the "Inv Adj" is opened, can the cursor be positioned in the "PRODUCT" field? When a letter is entered, can the drop down box appear with a field of 8 items and the descriptions listed starting with the item of the closest match for the first letter? When you leave the "PRODUCT" field, it needs to pull the other information off of the "INVENTORY" sheet to fill in "BATCH NO", "LOCATION", "CURRENT" count of inventory. The way it is now, if you start typing, there is no look up help. The only way to get look up help is to first open the drop down box. Then even if the item is selected with the mouse, it doesn't populate the other data when you leave the "PRODUCT" field. The only way to get it to populate the other fields is to do it with the original drop down box.

Attached is the latest FG.xls with changes you suggested. See if I put them in right.

Said what I wanted to do could not be done.

Huh.  Not that I mind about the points awarded, but some people here *really* do care.  Awarding an "Average" answer because of the software limitations is, well, naive.  I'm more than happy to tell you things you can't do in Excel all day long, but it certainly shouldn't reflect on the poster.  For future reference, since it can be a big deal to people, I would highly recommend you base your point awards based on merit, not what you deem is appropriate based on application limitations in reference to the poster.  Kind of unfair to the posters.  :)

Have a good one,
Zack

Sorry. I felt, with my limited programming knowledge, that it could be done. I didn't know how to go about it. Every seemingly impossible question I had ever asked had been answered to a workable solution. Thanks for your help.
