Change Textbox Colour based on value

[m0atz]

Hi all,

I have a userform with lots of different textboxes each in groups. Just wondering if I can loop through the textboxes to change their colour based on certain values,

for example, if the value in the text box is less than 1000 then red, less than 500 then amber or less than 250 then green?

I tried the following:

Dim h
 
    For h = 5 To 17
        With UserForm1.Controls("Textbox" & h)
            If .Value < 1000 Then
                .Interior.ColorIndex = 3
            End If
        End With
    Next h

but that doesnt seem to do anything... any ideas?
cheers

Add a commanbutton and try this:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
For x = 1 To 5
Select Case Me.Controls("TextBox" & x).Value
    
    Case 0 To 249: Me.Controls("TextBox" & x).BackColor = vbGreen
    Case 250 To 499: Me.Controls("TextBox" & x).BackColor = vbRed
    Case 500 To 999: Me.Controls("TextBox" & x).BackColor = vbBlue

End Select
Next
End Sub

You might want to convert what's in the textbox to a number if you want to compare it to a numeric value.

Perhaps more importantly you might want to use another property to change the colour, Interior.ColorIndex is for cells.

Oh, and the numbers used for colours are a bit different.

  Dim h
 
    For h = 5 To 14

        With UserForm1.Controls("Textbox" & h)

            If Val(.Value) < 1000 Then
                ' this is for font color, use BackColor for the interior color
                .ForeColor = &HC0&
            End If

        End With

    Next h

End Sub

Thanks both,

Norie, appreciate the info, the code works great.

The values in the TB are numeric, so .value works fine. Is there a list of 'codes' for different colours?

cheers
