TextBox Text

[if1467]

I am trying to get a text box to show a specific cell's value when the form is opened. I know there has to be a property that I can change to do this, but which one? Or, if not, how do I do it?

What are you working with? VBA built into Excel? Which version?

The textbox's .Text property is most likely what you want to change.

As for where to place the code, I'd guess the form's Activate, Layout or Initialize event procedure.

Yeap, its not a propertry, is an event, its the initializa event of the form, and should say something like:

[CODE=vb]Textbox1.text= worksheets("she et1").cells(5,1 ).value 'This is for cell A5[/CODE]

HTH

I am very new to using forms, so I am going to need some more help.

Right now I have a form with 3 options. The "OK" command code is:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
If ListBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then
    MsgBox "No item selected", vbExclamation
    Exit Sub
End If
Range("G4") = ListBox1.ListIndex + 1
If Range("G4") = "1" Then
Purchase_Action.Show
End If
If Range("G4") = "2" Then
Sale_Action.Show
End If
If Range("G4") = "3" Then
Coupon.Show
End If
Unload Me
End Sub

The form that I need a textbox filled is on the "Coupon" form.

I am not sure what is meant by the inititialize event, and where to place the code for the text.

To find the event procedures, double-click on the userform in the editor. This should bring up the code window for the userform. You can use the two pulldown listboxes at the top of the window to select the form or a control, and the various events that pertain to them.

Thanks a bunch!! Now how do I get the textbox to be formated the same as the referenced cell?

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Font.N ame = Cells(1, 1).Font.Name
TextBox1.Font.S ize = Cells(1, 1).Font.Size[/CODE]

or

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Font.N ame = Range("A4").Fon t.Name
TextBox1.Font.S ize = Range("A4").Fon t.Size[/CODE]

and the same for each font's property you want to copy

[if1467]

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Font.N ame = Cells(1, 1).Font.Name
TextBox1.Font.S ize = Cells(1, 1).Font.Size[/CODE]

TextBox1.Font.S ize = Range("A4").Fon t.Size[/CODE]

I guess I should have been morespecific if I wanted a more specific answer. The text that I am putting in the textbox is supposed to be a percentage like 10.25%, but the box is showing 0.1025. How do I format the text for this criteria?

That might be a little bit more complex, since the cells have the NumberFormat property, that textboxes dont have... but assuming the Format function have the same parameters as the Excel's property, something like this should do:

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Text = Format(TextBox1 .Text, Range("A2").Num berFormat)[/CODE]

If that doesn't work, i think we'll have to make a HomeMade function for this purpose.

Thanks for the tip.

I tried

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Text = Format(TextBox1 .Text, Range("A2").Num berFormat)[/CODE]

and it returned "Ge1eral"
so I tried

[CODE=vb]TextBox1.Text = Format(TextBox1 .Text, Worksheets("Rev iewer Back-Up").Cells(2, 6).NumberFormat )[/CODE]

and it worked!!
