    Userform Call Macro on Control Change

    Hey Quick question,

    Is there a way to call a subroutine anytime any control is changed within a userform?

    For example,

    I have a userform that needs to go through and add/multiply almost every value in every textbox and also add together values associated with checkboxs. I need this to happen anytime a textbox value is changed or a checkbox is checked.

    Is there a quick way to do this?

    Thanks,
    Ethan

    Hello Ethan,

    Place a call to your macro in the CheckBox_Change() event module and in the TextBox_AfterUpadte() event module of each control.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Hello Leith,

    I know i can do that, but i have about 60 textboxes on there right now and about 20 or so checkboxes, so i was hoping there might be a way to do an update of the whole thing without having to create so many lines of code.

    If there isn't then it shouldn't take too long to do so.

    Thanks

    Hello Ethan,

    VBA like Windows, is event driven. In Visual Basic (not VBA) you can create Control Arrays which simplifies this type of operation. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't exist in VBA. There are workarounds to simulate a control array. However, the amount of code needed and the complexity involved outweighs the benefit.
