Multiple Colour changes on User Form

[Guest]

On a userform I have a "Frame" containing a bunch of text boxes. If the text
box contains the word "Completed" it changes the text box to Black on Green
other it set the text bov to Red on Red. Below is the Module code I am using,
as it stands I am going to have to code this for each and every text box in
the frame. Is it possible to run a loop of some sort across all text boxes in
the one frame?


If Menu.StatusUnisysComp.Value = "Completed" Then
Menu.StatusUnisysComp.ForeColor = 0
Menu.StatusUnisysComp.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
Else
Menu.StatusUnisysComp.ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Menu.StatusUnisysComp.BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End If

If Menu.StatusNSR.Value = "Completed" Then
Menu.StatusNSR.ForeColor = 0
Menu.StatusNSR.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
Else
Menu.StatusNSR.ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Menu.StatusNSR.BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End If

Why not use Conditional Formating?

Jim,

Thankyou for the reply, but I think there is a little bit more that I need
here. I would like ANY mouse move on the form to search through a frame for
ANY text box and then update the color. Something like:

For each textbox in frame1
..
....
...
etc.

Glen,

Conditional Formatting would be perfect and I know how to do this on a
worksheet, how does this work on a userform?

Jim,

Thanks with your clues I have just managed to work the last bits out:

Call FixColors(Me.Project_Status.ActiveControl)


Sub FixColors(ByRef objBox As MSForms.Control)
For Each objBox In Menu.Controls
If TypeName(objBox) = "TextBox" And InStr(objBox.Name, "Status") > 0
Then
If objBox.Value = "Completed" Then
objBox.ForeColor = vbBlack
objBox.BackColor = vbGreen
ElseIf objBox.Value = "In Progress" Then
objBox.ForeColor = vbBlack
objBox.BackColor = RGB(255, 173, 66)
ElseIf objBox.Value = "" Then
objBox.ForeColor = vbRed
objBox.BackColor = vbRed
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

You can't do conditional formatting in forms. But you can do something like
this:

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
TextBox2.Value = UserForm1.TextBox1.Value
If TextBox2.Value = 1 Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = &H80000002
TextBox2.BackColor = &H8000000F
End If
End Sub
