Change font size in form combo box in MS Excel
I need to change the font size in an Excel combo box because the default font size is way too small. Is there a way to do this?
This is the code I use for my macro:
Option Explicit
Sub DropDown4_Change()
Dim comboValue As String
Dim Key1ColumnIndex As Integer
Dim Key2ColumnIndex As Integer
Dim Index As Integer
Dim comboName As String
Dim comboName2 As String
Dim comboID As Integer
'You can get the name 开发者_JS百科by doing something like this in the immediate window: "? Sheet1.Shapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Name"
For Index = 1 To ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count
comboName = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Index).OLEFormat.Object.Name
If InStr(comboName, "Drop") > 0 Then
'MsgBox InStr(comboName, "Drop")
comboName2 = comboName
comboID = Index
End If
Next
comboValue = ActiveSheet.Shapes(comboID).ControlFormat.List(ActiveSheet.Shapes(comboID).ControlFormat.ListIndex)
Select Case comboValue
Case "By Keyphrase"
Key1ColumnIndex = 18
Key2ColumnIndex = 19
Case "By Region"
Key1ColumnIndex = 19
Key2ColumnIndex = 18
Case "Default"
Key1ColumnIndex = 1
Key2ColumnIndex = 1
End Select
Range("DataValues").sort Key1:=Range("DataValues").Cells(1, Key1ColumnIndex), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, _
Key2:=Range("DataValues").Cells(1, Key2ColumnIndex), order2:=xlAscending
End Sub
Thank you.
It can't be done
There's no formatting the font size of a forms dropdown - even programatically. If it's an absolute requirement, you'll have to switch this to an activeX control.
As said by @Alain you simply can't in a clean way, or you have to use an activeX control.
But here there's also a workaround. With programming, you can temporarily zoom the worksheet, to make the data validation font size appear larger.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 120
Else
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 100
End If
End Sub
