Substitute Value of ComboBox to go to TextBox

I have a ComboBox that provides various options using short descriptions. What I'm trying to achieve is that when one of these options are selected from the ComboBox, this will read the longer version from the 'change' ComboBox state and populate TextBox2, ready for insertion at the Bookmark defined as 'Reason' when the 'Enter' button is pressed.

Here is what I have at the moment.

Code:

---

'Enter button
Private Sub EnterBut_Click()
    Dim oThreat    As Range, oHarm As Range, oOpportunity As Range
    Dim oRisk      As Range, oReason        As Range
   
    'check required fields are filled first
    If TextBox2.Text = "" Then
        MsgBox "Provide reason for further review", vbCritical, "Triage Hub"
        TextBox2.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If
   
    'use FillBM function to write to bookmarks
    FillBM "Reason", TextBox2.Text, ComboBox1.Value
   
    Set oReason = Nothing
    Unload Me
    lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_initialize()
   
    'Redefine list for reason for proposed further review
    Dim myArray = Split("- Select -|Requires further investigation|Urgent review|" _
    & "Manageable risk|For Noting Only", "|")
    'Use List method to populate listbox
    ComboBox1.List = myArray
    ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0
   
    lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

'Create text for proposed further review
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    Dim Reason      As Range
   
    If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("Reason") = TRUE Then
        Set Reason = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Reason").Range
        Select Case ComboBox1.Value
           
            Case "Requires further investigation":
                Reason.Text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In rhoncus, lorem et fringilla dictum, orci orci posuere lacus, ut auctor libero neque non purus. Fusce a commodo ligula."
               
            Case "Urgent review":
                Reason.Text = "Proin sed nisl enim. Cras in nisl tempus, scelerisque mi id, vulputate arcu. Duis nec mi ac lorem pretium semper."
               
            Case "Manageable risk":
                Reason.Text = "Fusce eu nisi sollicitudin, pharetra nibh sed, vestibulum neque. Praesent a auctor turpis. Mauris posuere vitae justo ac mollis."
               
            Case "For Noting Only":
                Reason.Text = "Sed eu eros ipsum. Ut posuere id magna eu sollicitudin. Nunc suscipit tempor egestas. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos."
               
        End Select
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub FillBM(strbmName As String, strValue As String, Optional lngColor As Long = &H80000005)
    'Graham Mayor - http://www.gmayor.com
    Dim oRng        As Range
    With ActiveDocument
        On Error GoTo lbl_Exit
        If .Bookmarks.Exists(strbmName) = TRUE Then
            Set oRng = .Bookmarks(strbmName).Range
            oRng.Text = strValue
            oRng.Font.Color = lngColor
            oRng.Bookmarks.Add strbmName
        End If
    End With
    lbl_Exit:
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Thank you.

You don't need the textbox or the ComboBox1_Change macro.

Code:

---

Option Explicit

'Enter button
Private Sub EnterBut_Click()

'check required fields are filled first
    If TextBox2.Text = "" Then
        MsgBox "Provide reason for further review", vbCritical, "Triage Hub"
        TextBox2.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'use FillBM function to write to bookmarks
    Select Case ComboBox1.value
        Case "Requires further investigation":
            FillBM "Reason", "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In rhoncus, lorem et fringilla dictum, orci orci posuere lacus, ut auctor libero neque non purus. Fusce a commodo ligula."
        Case "Urgent review":
            FillBM "Reason", "Proin sed nisl enim. Cras in nisl tempus, scelerisque mi id, vulputate arcu. Duis nec mi ac lorem pretium semper."
        Case "Manageable risk":
            FillBM "Reason", "Fusce eu nisi sollicitudin, pharetra nibh sed, vestibulum neque. Praesent a auctor turpis. Mauris posuere vitae justo ac mollis."
        Case "For Noting Only":
            FillBM "Reason", "Sed eu eros ipsum. Ut posuere id magna eu sollicitudin. Nunc suscipit tempor egestas. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos."
        Case Else
    End Select
    Unload Me
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_initialize()
Dim myArray As Variant
    'Redefine list for reason for proposed further review
    myArray = Split("- Select -|Requires further investigation|Urgent review|" _
                    & "Manageable risk|For Noting Only", "|")
    'Use List method to populate listbox
    ComboBox1.List = myArray
    ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

You cannot however haveTextBox2 and ComboBox1 writing to the same bookmark, unless you combine the texts from both e.g.

Code:

---

FillBM "Reason", TedxtBox2.text & chr(32) & "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. etc"

Bloomin' annoying that this site keeps going down!

Thanks for the previous code suggestion. Nearly worked, but not quite. I am hoping that the text from the 'Case' populates the userform in TextBox2, prior to pressing the "Enter" button and populating BookMark 'CaseReview'. hoping that this is possible?

Here is my full code for the UserForm.

Code:

                ctl.Text = ""
            Case "CheckBox", "OptionButton", "ToggleButton"
                ctl.Value = True
            Case "ComboBox", "ListBox"
                ctl.ListIndex = 0
        End Select
    Next ctl
End Sub

Thanks again!

I've realised that I haven't said what is not working.

ComboBox 2 to 5 are blank when trying to select an option. I cannot see why as the code appears exactly as previously advised. ComboBox 1 has its dropdown list populated, but doesn't select the alternate text and put it into Textbox 2.

Thanks!

You have an assortment of code unconnected with any sub in the userform, some of which should be in the Userform_Initialize sub and some of it should be in the EnterBut_Click sub.

Code:

---

'Select threat level
Dim myArray() As String
'Create list of grades for threat
myArray = Split("- Select -|High|Medium|Low", "|")
'Use List method to populate listbox
ComboBox2.List = myArray

'Use List method to populate listbox

ComboBox3.ListIndex = 0
'Use List method to populate listbox
ComboBox4.List = myArray
ComboBox4.ListIndex = 0
'Use List method to populate listbox

ComboBox5.ListIndex = 0

End Sub

I'm sorry, but I am not understanding. It's probably me being slow on the uptake!

I've used the ComboBox color change routine as suggested here:- http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?67697-Change-Background-Colour-Of-ComboBox-Depending-On-What-Option-Is-Selected

This is to highlight the threat, harm, risk and opportunity levels selected from ComboBox 2 through 5.

Then added your suggestion for Case / ComboBox so that a shorter description is selected from the ComboBox 1, with the alternate wording appearing 'live' in Textbox 2. This is so that the user can then add to or make minor alterations to this text before commiting it to the form when pressing the 'Enter' button.

Thanks again, gmayor.

You cannot have random bits of orphan code in a module. The section I highlighted is unconnected to any of the subs above it and will produce an error condition.

To see the problem, click Debug > Compile Normal and watch the sparks fly.

If you want to setup the form, the setup code goes in Sub Userform_Initialize

If you want to process document from the form the code to goes in Sub EnterBut_Click

Each sub should end at End Sub - you cannot add stuff below that that is not a sub in its own right, which is why it is not working.

I think that I'm nearly there as I've managed to lose the errors. Unfortunately the ComboBoxes are all empty when the UserForm is run. :banghead:

You have lost the Userrform_Initialize sub that populated them and you still have the orphan code below the first part of which should be in that that should be in the missing sub. The rest should be in the enter button sub. Macros start with Sub and end with End Sub (or Function and end with End Function). You have two End Subs with no Sub.

The final piece of the jigsaw is that I'd like the option chosen in ComboBox 1 to populate TextBox 2 before it is commited with the 'Enter' button. The reason is that the substituted text might need to be added to first. Also, is it possible to be able to select more than one option from the ComboBox?

Thanks!

If you want to select more than one item, you need a list box instead. For the text box

Code:

---

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
  If ComboBox1.ListIndex > 0 then
        Textbox2.text = ComboBox1.Value
  End If
    lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub

---

Thanks, gmayor.

When selecting ComboBox1, the entry from the dropdown populates TextBox2 instead of the 'case' value.

That's what the code does ie. what you asked for. Change the ComboBox1_Change macro to perform the tasks according to the selection e.g

Code:

---

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
        Select Case ComboBox1.value
            Case "Requires further investigation":
                TextBox2.Text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In rhoncus, lorem et fringilla dictum, orci orci posuere lacus, ut auctor libero neque non purus. Fusce a commodo ligula."
            Case "Urgent review":
                TextBox2.Text = "Proin sed nisl enim. Cras in nisl tempus, scelerisque mi id, vulputate arcu. Duis nec mi ac lorem pretium semper."
            Case "Manageable risk":
                TextBox2.Text = "Fusce eu nisi sollicitudin, pharetra nibh sed, vestibulum neque. Praesent a auctor turpis. Mauris posuere vitae justo ac mollis."
            Case "For Noting Only":
                TextBox2.Text = "Sed eu eros ipsum. Ut posuere id magna eu sollicitudin. Nunc suscipit tempor egestas. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos."
            Case Else
                TextBox2.Text = ""
        End Select
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

---

I am not sure why you have the similar code in the initialization macro as it is doing nothing there.

Thanks for your patience gmayor. I think I did not explain very well what I was trying to achieve.


When an option from Combobox1 is selected :-

Requires further investigation, Urgent review, Manageable risk, For Noting Only

It is the TextBox2 'change' text that is shown in the UserForm.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In rhoncus, lorem et fringilla dictum, orci orci posuere lacus, ut auctor libero neque non purus. Fusce a commodo ligula." or

"Proin sed nisl enim. Cras in nisl tempus, scelerisque mi id, vulputate arcu. Duis nec mi ac lorem pretium semper." etc.

This is to enable the person to make some final tweaks to the text in the UserForm TextBox2 before committing it to the document.
