    How to simplify Multiple ComboBox Change Event code

    Hi All Expert,

    I have one comboBox depend on another 4 comboBoxes. It would be short to create change event

    However, each of 4 ComboBoxes also depend on a single comboBox as described above. Thus, I have to create 4 times change event to ensure it working fine. Is there any method to create only one change event instead of 4 as described below?

    You can create a combobox class, or if not familiar with classes, create a "sub sAllComboBoxes_Change" with your required code, then each combobox should have it's own change event with 1 line that calls "sAllComboBoxes_Change"

    Hi tooley,

    I'm really not familiar on the step mentioned. can you show me the sample?

    My ComboBox27 depend on ComboBox28 to 31 and vice versa. It means both set depend to each other.

    Sure, there's plenty of examples for class events online, one of which simple to follow is http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154659.

    Regarding dependencies, if your comboboxes are all named "ComboBox" plus numbered and in the same sequence they are dependent (eg when combobox1 is populated open combobox2....etc) then your code can be kept generic relatively simple (untested example is for another generic sub in the userform module and is not using the class method):

    Standard ComboBox Event:

    Untested generic sub in the UserForm module (change to suit etc):

    The above can be slimmed down further, but is hopefully easier to understand?
