In this example, you attach a procedure to the MouseUp event of each
ToggleButton that sets a public variable and then calls another procedure.
That procedure selects the ToggleButton you have clicked and deselects all
others.
- Close and save any open workbooks, and then open a new workbook.
- Start the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11), and then on the Insert
menu, click Module.
- In the module, type the following code:
'Variable to hold name of ToggleButton that was clicked.
Public Clicked As String
Sub ExclusiveToggleButtons()
Dim Toggle As Control
'Loop through all of the ToggleButtons on Frame1
For Each Toggle In UserForm1.Frame1.Controls
'If Name of ToggleButton matches name of ToggleButton
'that was clicked...
If Toggle.Name = clicked Then
'...select the button
Toggle.Value = True
Else
'...deselect the button
Toggle.Value = False
End If
Next
End Sub
- On the Insert menu, click UserForm.
- Draw a Frame control on the UserForm.
- Draw three ToggleButton controls on the Frame control.
- Double-click one of the ToggleButton controls to display the Code
window for the UserForm.
- In the module, type the following code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Clicked = ToggleButton1.Name
Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons"
End Sub
Private Sub ToggleButton2_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Clicked = ToggleButton2.Name
Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons"
End Sub
Private Sub ToggleButton3_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Clicked = ToggleButton3.Name
Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons"
End Sub
- Run the UserForm.
When you click one of the ToggleButton controls, the ExclusiveToggleButtons
procedure sets the value of the other buttons to false. Only one of the
ToggleButtons can be selected at a time.
