VBA Formatting to Highlight Text Based on Checkbox

[Shelby21]

Hi guys,

I've got another question regarding the use of checkboxes and highlighting values based on if a box is checked or not.

Looking at the image below, I would like to highlight the number above a checkbox if it is checked.

This one is a bit tricky since the numbers are all inserted text boxes within the same cell as the checkboxes so the vba formula would have to associate each checkbox with its correct text box number above it and then change the fill color to yellow if the box is checked.

Any help would be much appreciated as this is definitely beyond my current capability of vba coding

Are they Form Controls or ActiveX controls?

Hi Fluff,

The checkboxes are ActiveX controls.

What about the textboxes?

 

[Shelby21]

The text boxes are regular texbox using shape command.

I can change these to ActiveX textboxes though if needed.

Ok, you can use something like for each checkbox

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
   If Me.CheckBox1.Value Then
      Me.Shapes("TextBox 1").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbYellow
   Else
      Me.Shapes("TextBox 1").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbWhite
   End If
End Sub

   End If
End Sub

That worked perfectly!

Once I re-assigned all the checkbox and text box numbers to correspond with the correct values it worked exactly as I wanted it to.

Thank you for your help!
