Clever way to connect multiple images to on-click macro - VAB Excel


I have asked this question before, but admittedly in a terrible way, so I am asking this again. So here I am once more.


I am making a program in VBA Excel - or better, combining a certain worksheet with actions and parts of code to make something that works like a stand-alone program. Part of it involves the binding of a number of images (tens of them) to a certain macro, on click.


I have created the said images through the "Developer"->"Design Mode" button. The images are named in the fashion: Image1, Image2, Image3... etc. What I want is, if, for example, I press Image1, the subroutine Action(1), is called. If I press Image100, I want the subroutine Action(100) to be called. Therefore, I want to call the Action Subroutine passing a value according to which image is clicked, in the example I gave you, according to its name.


With a quick search, the first way I found out to make this work was the one below:


Sub Image1_Click()
Call Action(1)
End Sub

That was for a click on Image1. For a click on Image100, that would be:


Sub Image100_Click()
Call Action(100)
End Sub

The downside of using solely this way is obvious: I would need to create as many on-click handlers as the images I have, even though the same routine is called every time and all that matters to get the value to be passed is the image name.


So, given the obvious order of my logic and of what I want to achieve, I would like you to provide me with a more clever way to create on-click events for all my images, without having to use so much redundant code and an obviously not-optimal logic.


NOTE:In case of confusion, the Action Subroutine IS the same for all images. Only the value passed changes.

You can use the Application.Caller property and assign the generic macro to all pictures and then pass the picture's ID as the argument -


Sub genericpicture_click()

Dim pic As String
pic = Application.Caller
MsgBox (pic)

End Sub

Here is an example using cases:


  ' Procedure to display which button was pressed.
Sub WhichButton()

' Assign the calling object to a variable.
ButtonName = Application.Caller

' Display the name of the button that was clicked.
Select Case ButtonName

' NOTE: When you type the name of the button, note that
' Visual Basic is case and space sensitive when comparing
' strings. For example, "Button 6" and "button6" are not the
' same.
Case "Button 6"
MsgBox Application.Caller & " was Clicked"

Case "Button 7"
MsgBox Application.Caller & " was clicked."

Case "Button 8"
MsgBox Application.Caller & " was clicked."

End Select

End Sub

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y

networking - Windows 10, can ping other PC but cannot access shared folders! What gives?

I have a computer running Windows 7 that shares a Git repo on drive D. Let's call this PC " win7 ". This repo is the origin of a project that we push to and pull from. The network is a wireless network. One PC on this network is running on Windows 10. Let's call this PC " win10 ". Win10 can ping every other PC on the network including win7 . Win7 can ping win10 . Win7 can access all shared files on win10 . Neither of the PCs have passwords. Problem : Win10 cannot access any shared files on win7 , not from Explorer, nor from Git Bash or any other Git management system (E-Git on Eclipse or Visual Studio). So, win10 cannot pull/push. Every other PC on the network can access win7 shared files and push/pull to/from the shared Git origin. What's wrong with Windows 10? I have tried these: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings\ File sharing is on, Discovery is on, Password protected sharing is off Adapte
