Move cursor to textbox in a userform

**jgmiddel** · 03-29-2006, 08:44 AM

Hi, I would like to check (on Exit) a value entered in a textbox with a
certain cell. That's not the problem, but I would like to find a method how
to move the cursor to the wrong entered value (so: back to that textbox).

The error is given in a MsgBox.

Thanks in advance!

Better to use the Exit Event of the Textbox to check the entry. Then if it
is improper, the Event has a Cancel variable. If you set this to False, the
textbox won't be exited. It sounds like you are probably already using
this event to popup a msgbox, so just set the Cancel variable to true.

Hello
In addition, you could highlight the whole (wrong)entry with:
With Me.TextBox1
..SelStart = 0
..SelLength = Len(.Value)
..SetFocus
End With

Tom,

The data must be proceeded in a worksheet, so I use this:

Private Sub naam1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Range("Werkblad!A12") < 3 Then
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response
Msg = Range("error1").Value
Style = vbInformation
Title = Range("naam").Value
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
On Error Resume Next
Userform.naam1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

You say, the exit can be canceled, but how? What I made doesn't work.

Done!
Private Sub naam1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Range("Werkblad!A12") < 3 Then
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response
Msg = Range("error1").Value
Style = vbInformation
Title = Range("naam").Value
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
On Error Resume Next
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
