#ADDING DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL CODE#
This example code below greys out buttons depending on what sheet is selected.Īs you develop your ribbon with Easy Ribbon Builder you'll notice that there is a column titled 'VBA object name'. (Optional) Add code to set rules for dynamic changes to your ribbon.
#ADDING DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL FULL#
So in this example I typed "R_J" then "CTRL + space" then the full name "R_Joke_G1B2" was inserted. If you type in enough text that it is unique to a button object name then its full object name will be inserted. Anywhere in VBA just type "CTRL + Space" then start typing in your button label to find it.

Note 2 - Finding a button object name in VBA This method is robust as the Control ID is unique and fixed Method 2: If ButtonItem.ControlID = R_Joke_G1B2.ControlID Then If the Label changes name or if the button has the same label as another button then you can get errors. Method 1: If ButtonItem.Label = "Joke" then MsgBox "Incorrect" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Answer: The women spit further.", Title:="Classic Joke" MsgBox "You got it correct!", Title:="Classic Joke" If InStr(jokeInput, "pull the pin and throw it back") > 0 Then JokeInput = InputBox(" What should you do if an Aussie throws a grenade at you?", Title:="Classic Joke") If ButtonItem.ControlID = R_Joke_G1B2.ControlID Then Public Sub Button_Click(ButtonItem As Variant) Or just click on any of your ribbon buttons to take you to the Button_Click procedure directly. If it shows as # just make the column wider to show the date.Click 'My_Code' module > scroll down to Button_Click. Now, put cellpointer in any cell, then click a date on the Calendar. If you can't see the 'Developer' tab in the top-panel Ribbon, do this:Ĭome out of 'Design Mode' by clicking 'Design Mode' in the top-panel Ribbon on the 'Developer' tab. Come out of 'Design Mode' by clicking 'Design Mode' in the top-panel Ribbon on the 'Developer' tab. Private Sub MonthView21_DateClick(ByVal DateClicked As Date) You should see something like this in the VBA editor window: So right-click the mouse, and select the option 'View code'. The 4-headed cursor shows you are still in 'Design Mode'.
#ADDING DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL HOW TO#
(Don't confuse the number of bits in the operating system with the number of bits in your copy of Office they are two different things.) A good overview of how to register the control can be found here:
#ADDING DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL WINDOWS#
How you register the control depends on the version of Windows you are using and whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the operating system. If it is, skip copying and just try to register it.) (Before copying it, do a Windows search to see if the file is actually on your system. If you are running a 32-bit version of Office, then you can try to copy the MSCOMCT2.OCX control from a like system and register it with Windows. When Microsoft actually comes out with versions of the controls that do work with 64-bit Office, they will likely have different names, a move sure to complicate the life of VBA programmers who rely on the controls. (In fact, none of the ActiveX controls work in 64-bit Office. The reason is because MSCOMCT2.OCX works only on 32-bit systems.
#ADDING DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL INSTALL#
If you are using a 64-bit version of Office, then you won't be able to install the control. If the tool doesn't show up in the More Controls dialog box, then it has not been installed on your system.
