In Microsoft Excel, you can use Visual Basic for Applications code to
activate a text box for editing. This article contains an example macro
that demonstrates how to perform this task.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides examples of Visual Basic for Applications procedures for
illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including,
but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness
for a particular purpose. The Visual Basic procedures in this article are
provided 'as is' and Microsoft does not guarantee that they can be used in
all situations. While Microsoft Support professionals can help explain the
functionality of a particular macro, they will not modify these examples to
provide added functionality, nor will they help you construct macros to
meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you
may want to consult one of the Microsoft Solution Providers. Solution
Providers offer a wide range of fee-based services, including creating
custom macros. For more information about Microsoft Solution Providers,
call Microsoft Customer Information Service at (800) 426-9400.
When you run this macro, "Text Box 1" will be activated for editing. The
contents of the text box will not be removed, but they will be re-entered
by the macro, so you may see the contents briefly disappear and then
reappear. If the text box contains a large amount of text, it may take
several seconds or more for the text to reappear.
You can use this technique in any Visual Basic macro. However, the SendKeys command must be the last line in the macro, or the text box may not be activated correctly. Additional query words: XL7 XL5
