Thread: Highlighting

I am wanting to change the default highlighting when you hover over a cell/row.

E.g. I will be working on a large list of contact details when for instance I click on a surname I would like the whole row to jump out e.g be in a white box with bold letters coloured red.

Any ideas????

Enter the following code in the module for the sheet in question.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Cells.Font.Bold = False
Cells.Font.ColorIndex = 1

Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Target.EntireRow.Font.Bold = True
Target.EntireRow.Font.ColorIndex = 2


End Sub


To enter the code, right-click on the sheet name tab below, select view code, and enetr the code.

Thanks you its worked!!!

Can I make the text bigger or have the column headings a different colour

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Cells.Font.Bold = False
Cells.Font.ColorIndex = 1
Cells.Font.Size = 10 ' your normal size here

' teatment for row 1
Range("1:1").Interior.ColorIndex = 5


If Target.Row > 1 Then
Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Target.EntireRow.Font.Bold = True
Target.EntireRow.Font.ColorIndex = 2
Target.EntireRow.Font.Size = 14
End If
End Sub

font.size changes the size.
for the header row which is one in this case, you can add more lines as you wish.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
With Target.EntireRow
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
With .FormatConditions(1)

.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
.Font.ColorIndex = 3

End With
End With


End Sub

Cool Bob,,
I'd like to have this macro available (ON CALL) to apply to numerous
workbooks/worksheets I work with. How would I go about doing this?
Could I put a new button on my toolbar to run the macro;
and have some code in my personal.xls; maybe some type
of toggle (On/Off) feature...?? of course applying to the Activesheet..
TIA,
Jim

Jim,

Do you mean that you would like to have it apply to the activesheet on
demand? Problem here is that it is event code so we need to setup that
event, remove it on say shift toggle, and what about if we already have that
event.

What I would do is add application events, and setup a sheet dependent name
that is set/unset by the button.

Sound good?

Okay Jim,

There are 3 parts to this.

The first part is just a simple piece of code that creates a toolbar button
(I am appending it to the format toolbar).

The second part is to setup application events, and trap the application
sheet selectionchange event and do our highlighting.

These first two parts are both included in the ThisWorkbook module, and
should be included in Personal.xls.

The 3rd part is the macro that is run when the button is clicked, and either
turns highlighting on the active sheet on or off (by use of a worksheet
scope name). SO cliciking once sets highlighting on that page, a second time
removes it (it could be shift-click to remove if preferred).This goes in a
standard code module, also in Personal.xls.

BTW, in my version that I installed with some colleagues, we had row and
column highlighting, but only for 5 cells either side. Would you like this
version?

Thanks for the code:
When I click on the Icon (after loading everything) the code "bombs" and
highlights the word hilite, within ...:=Not hilite.Names(... below..

"!__Hilite", RefersTo:=Not hilite.Names(ActiveSheet.Name &
"!__Hilite").Visible = False
End With
End Sub

Wrap-around again Jim. use this

Public Sub SetupHilite()
Dim hilite As Boolean

hilite = False
On Error Resume Next
hilite = Evaluate(.Names(ActiveSheet.Name & _
"!__Hilite").RefersTo)
On Error GoTo 0
ActiveSheet.Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
.Names.Add Name:=ActiveSheet.Name & "!__Hilite", _
RefersTo:=Not hilite
.Names(ActiveSheet.Name & "!__Hilite").Visible = False
