Reference to Command Buttons Added During Runtime

2019-09-09 09:36发布

During runtime, the user is able to add any number of ActiveX command buttons to Sheet 1. I need to have a reference to these new buttons with VBA, but am not sure how.

I know a logical progression which the button names will exhibit: ex.

(Node#x2)-2=CommandButton#=i

I need to somehow refer to these newly created buttons, I'm thinking is along the lines of this:

Sheet1.Controls("CommandButton" & i).Select

If anyone knows the correct syntax or an alternate method please advise!

UPDATE

Public Sub Node_Button_Duplication()
'
'Comments: Copies and pastes Node 1's button to the appropriate column

' Copy Node 1 button and paste in appropriate location
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Cells(5, 10 + 7 * (NumNodes - 1) - 1).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 47.25
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -13.5


End Sub

Follow-Up

Public Sub Node_Button_Duication()
'
'Comments: Copies and pastes Node 1's button to the appropriate column

Dim shp As Shape

' Copy Node 1 button and paste in appropriate location
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Cells(5, 10 + 7 * (NumNodes - 1) - 1).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 47.25
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -13.5

    Debug.Print Selection.Name

    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Selection.Name)

    With shp.OLEFormat.Object.Object
        .Caption = "Test"
        .Left = 15
        .Top = 15
    End With

End Sub

This gives me a Run-time error "438: Object doesn't support this property or method. I don't particularly understand

shp.OLEFormat.Object.Object

Public Sub Node_Button_Duplication()

    Selection.Copy
    Cells(5, 10 + 7 * (NumNodes - 1) - 1).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 47.25
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -13.5

    '~~> This will give you the name
    Debug.Print Selection.Name
End Sub

If you know the name of the commandbutton then you can change the properties like this.

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim shp As Shape

    '~~> Since you already have the name replace "CommandButton1" by
    '~~> the name that you have
    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1")

    With shp.OLEFormat.Object
        .Object.Caption = "Test"
        .Left = 15
        .Top = 15
    End With
End Sub

You can also combine the above two like this

Public Sub Node_Button_Duplication()
    Dim shp As Shape

    ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Cells(5, 10 + 7 * (NumNodes - 1) - 1).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 47.25
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -13.5

    '~~> This will give you the name
    Debug.Print Selection.Name

    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Selection.Name)

    With shp.OLEFormat.Object
        .Object.Caption = "Test"
        .Left = 15
        .Top = 15
    End With

End Sub

And if you need to iterate through all the buttons then use this code.

Sub CommanButtons()
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim OLEObj As OLEObject

    '~~> set it as per the relevant sheet
    Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

    For Each OLEObj In wks.OLEObjects
        If TypeOf OLEObj.Object Is MSForms.CommandButton Then
            Debug.Print OLEObj.Object.Caption
        End If
    Next OLEObj
End Sub

Suppose you have a command button (OLE object) with the name 'cmdOriginal' and you want to copy that button and paste it on the same workheet and change the name and caption of the new button into "cmdButtonCopy" and "This is a copy". The newly added button has the highest index in the OLEObjects collection! Place the following code in the code section of the worksheet

Sub x1()
    Me.OLEObjects("cmdOriginal").Copy
    Me.Paste
    With Me.OLEObjects(Me.OLEObjects.Count)
        .Name = "cmdButtonCopy"
        .Caption = "This is a copy"
    End With
End Sub
