Hello,

How can change the text and color of an autoshape when click and run a macro ?.

Example:
When clik button (Letter A) insert A in cell B3, and change the color and text of the same button to color green and text (Letter B).
Then, the next time when click button (Letter B) insert B in cell B3, and change the color and text of the button to color red and text (Letter A).

All with the same button.



I enclose a file with my example.

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

best regards,
Pedro

Hi pegbol,

Try this (you can also assign the macro to the autoshape so it changes when you click on it)


Sub ChangeIt()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("AutoShape 1").Select
With Selection
If .ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 57 Then
GoTo LetterA
Else
GoTo LetterB
End If
LetterA:
.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 2
.Characters.Text = "LETTER" & Chr(10) & "A"
[B3] = "B"
Exit Sub
LetterB:
.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 57
.Characters.Text = "LETTER" & Chr(10) & "B"
[B3] = "A"
End With
End Sub


HTH,
John

Hi Pedro,

Replace your macro with this


Sub letter()
Dim sNext As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Autoshape 1").Select
With Selection
With .ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor
If .SchemeColor = 17 Then
Range("B3").FormulaR1C1 = "B"
.SchemeColor = 10
sNext = "A"
Else
Range("B3").FormulaR1C1 = "A"
.SchemeColor = 17
sNext = "B"
End If
End With
With .Characters(8, 1)
.Text = sNext
With .Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Size = 24
End With
End With
End With
ActiveCell.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
