Application.Inputbox [LEFT]和[TOP]无法在Excel Vba中运行。为什么？

Question

我的VBA代码中有一个简单的输入框。 我想设定它的起始位置。 我知道参数[LEFT]和[TOP]应该这样做，但它们不起作用。

这是我有的：

x = Application.InputBox(MyPrompt, MyTitle, , 50, 50)

这是函数语法

 InputBox(Prompt, Title, Default, Left, Top, HelpFile, HelpContextId, Type) 

（我将第三个参数[DEFAULT]留空）。

无论我使用什么数字用于LEFT和TOP，输入框总是从同一个地方开始。 这有什么问题？

Answer 1

两者之间有区别

InputBox("prompt","title","default", 10000,10000) 

它使用top / left参数，和

Application.InputBox("prompt","title","default", 10000,10000)

没有。

请注意，顶部/左侧是点，因此您提供的值必须大于您可能习惯的...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa195768(v=office.11​​).aspx

“InputBox方法与InputBox函数的不同之处在于它允许选择性验证用户的输入，它可以与Microsoft Excel对象，错误值和公式一起使用。请注意，Application.InputBox调用InputBox方法; InputBox没有对象限定符调用InputBox函数。“

Answer 2

高，
几周前我在尝试解决类似问题时所做的搜索中出现了很多线程。
我现在有一个解决方案，所以我认为我会将其传递给其他任何以同样问题登陆的人
问题摘要和已经提出的几点的澄清
VBA输入框功能（和VBA MsgBox框功能）是模态的，换句话说，当电子表格启动时，您无法对电子表格执行任何操作。 他们似乎运作良好。
当您选择额外的最后一个Type：=选项时，应用程序输入框方法应该允许您选择此电子表格， 类型：= 8 。 （事实上​​，电子表格选择适用于所有Type：=选项，但Type：= 8 （Range）对OP特别感兴趣.VBA输入框功能只允许您键入字符串信息在框输入栏）
应用程序输入框方法允许您通过电子表格选择执行此类型：= 8 （范围），但有几件事情被破坏：
_能够定位弹出窗口（自Excel 2007以来似乎已断开）
_Microsoft帮助功能在我看来不适用于Excel 2003 2007 2010.我不知道它是否适用于应用程序输入框方法
我现在正在使用的解决方案
（这特别不是UserForm的解决方案，因为我也在考虑将我的工作作为比较单独考虑）。 这是一个弹出用户伪输入框，使用API​​程序可以选择范围 。
这个解决方案克服了这些问题，这是我这样做的主要原因，特别是因为第一个问题，这是这个线程的主要问题。 它还有一些可能有用的额外内容：
_您可以选择弹出的大小（宽度，高度）
_你可以调整“z”的东西......我对这些选项不太清楚，但简单来说，这意味着你可以根据你看到的窗口的顺序，你看到的方式和优先级来安排它的显示方式，什么窗户在“下”或“上方”看到等等。
_在Call ed例程的签名行中简单更改ByRef到ByVal允许您将范围对象的值更改为您选择的值，但原始范围对象不会更改，也就是说其地址仍然存在在选择之前。 这可以为您提供在电子表格中选择和移动方式的额外选项。

应将所有代码复制到同一代码模块。 （如果详细的评论令人烦恼，那么您只需点击几下即可轻松将它们全部收起来 - 请参阅此处：mrexcel.com/forum/about-board/795476-comments-code.html#post3893448）

Rem 1和Rem 2的第一部分提供了必要的API程序，并声明了（ Dim的）一些相关的全局变量。 本节需要放在代码模块的顶部。
Rem 1是直接的，并提供伪非模态消息框。
Rem 2有点复杂，并提供了一些API程序的东西，当它们出现时需要弄乱Windows 。

Manipulating of the actual “Windows” seems the key to pseudo “making my own” InputBox with range selection.        Direct linked libraries (dll) are available to run as and when required, hence the wording of direct link: They are used as an efficient means to organise Microsoft’s software generally allowing different Applications to share smaller programs which are shipped as standard with the Microsoft Windows Operating system. They are however also available to programmers , programming the applications.  They are usually contained in Folder with name similar to User 32. "API calls”: just means usually that you are using those things and related “Windows” concept-all gets gets bundled up in imprecise intimidating term API, for Application Programming interface

    '_- ====  The above is all I need to do so that writing  APIssinUserDLL_MsgBox  in any code in this code module will do something very similar to the VBA  MsgBox.  The main difference is that when it is up, I can still scroll up and down in my Excel Spreadsheet and also select a range.
    Rem 2_b)(ii) == To set/change The positional arguments        "Sub Classing a "Window""       As is generally the case with “Window” Functions, A window belongs to a class. The Dynamic Linked Libraries concept allow the small programs in the with windows shipped typically in the User32 Folder programs to be called up / used at runtime, rather than a fixed set of instructions copied or and/ or used as such at some point. This allows for a modification of the class, known as Sub classing. This means that it is possible to modify / add to the “Window” Function and so pseudo create a customised ddl. It does not necessarily mean that a “Window” Function or a used User32 Folder program is directly Sub classes , but it just happens to be in our case as we are intending to mess about with the MessageBoxA ( or MessageBoxTimeoutA )  You can arrange that a used “Window” Function is modified as it is used.
    ' The next four line will tie something on my chain for when you pull it.                     Similar in the way that a Worksheet_change code is triggered as something happens, you must arrange that a VBA Function is triggered when a Windows “event” occurs. At this point the concept gets a bit vague and I doubt many people really understand anymore how it really works. A good name for the VBA Function might be Function WinSubWinCls_JerkBackOffHooKterd. This VBA Function will itself be a pseudo “Window” Function and “hung” or hooked on a chain of events. Because of the dynamic / volatile nature of the stuff, things will have a habit of going on forever if they not “unhooked” such that a procedure will have to be designed to unhook itself.
    Private Declare Function SetWindowsHooksExample Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowsHookExA" (ByVal Hooktype As Long, ByVal lokprocedureAddress As Long, Optional ByVal hmod As Long, Optional ByVal DaFredId As Long) As Long '   The effect of this will be: In some predetermined set of instructions or planned chain of events, a “hook” or “marker” or “clap trap” or “page marker” or “trip trap” was made. This was given an identifying number which was returned by that “API Function” and it was chosen to be placed in the main code in a globial variable hHookTrapCrapNumber. I do not think that this number identifies the “page in the book” where the bookmarker is. I think it just is listed somewhere in a list of any active / set up book marks. I guess there might be / could be a few, so you need to distinguish them.
    Dim hHookTrapCrapNumber As Long ' "BookmarkClassNumber --- This makes pseudo  Declare Sub() SetWindowsHooksExample Lib "user32" AliAs "SetWindowsHookExA" (ByVal hHookTrapCrapNumber As Long, ByVal Hooktype As Long, ByVal MyloksPROCedureFukAddress As Long, Optional ByVal RadioButton2Out As Long, Optional ByVal duhFredId As Long) As Long     It was also disgust that possibly the number refers to set instances of a Bookmark class: there may be a few , but they are all effectively connected / activated by the number hHookTrapCrapNumber existing in some register. The bookmarker has a particular type, ( 5 ). The type will be responsible for catching the Message box code line to call the MessageBoxA, (like  APIssinUserDLL_MsgBox &H0, "Select Range", "working ApplicationPromptToRangeInputBox", vbYesNoCancel ). That fires my hook PROCedure Function, WinSubWinCls_JerkBackOffHooKterd. Other things may also fire my hook PROCedure Function. They may or may not be also related to the Popping up of my Box.

Using a variable for two reasons: '1_- general point in computing that you might get problems when a number is used to refer to something that might take or give a number at some point.

It is actually needed in the setting of the Windows hook code line only ( that which is last argument in   SetWindowsHookEx(  ,   ,   , DaFredId As Long) ... set a hook, confined to the current thread (so it doesn't get triggered by other things going on) and give it the address of the function that you want to call in response to the hook being triggered.

    ' This below takes it off the chain. Or wipe the chain clean.  Or remove it from something.   Or cancel it. Or Kill it.   Or whatever.

第3a节）将是您想要使用/调用具有范围选择的弹出用户伪输入框的主代码
我所做的简单演示有助于说明我提到的关于ByRef更改为ByVal的事情。 如果您使用代码并在下一个代码部分的开头更改（ ByXxx ），那么我认为您将明白我的建议
所以在第3a节中，与问题相关的主要问题是线路
调用HangAHookToCatchAPIssinUserDLL MsgBoxThenBringThatMsgBoxUp（RSel）
该代码行使弹出窗口出现，并且所选的电子表格范围作为变量RSel中的范围对象返回。 代码将等待您进行选择，但不会阻止您进行选择。 因此，在这方面，它的工作方式与应用程序输入框方法类似（当您使用该应用程序输入框方法并选择最后一个选项作为类型：= 8 ）。

第3b节）-3c）做了两件大事。

Section Rem 4是函数WinSubWinCls JerkBackOffHooKterd
这会选择我想要的特定事件，即我的“非模态消息框”被激活，并使用API​​事物SetWindowPos更改窗口尺寸
（您将需要进行实验，主要是中间四个数字10 50 400 150
两端的数字， 0 40 ，您可能也想调整。 完全理解这两个数字有点超出我的意义 - 我花了一个星期的时间来弄清楚所有其他的东西是关于WTF的。
这个函数做的最后一件事就是“杀死”或“掉落”或“脱掉”“钩子”或“解开钩子”。 如果你不这样做，这个功能似乎无限期地被触发。
关于类似观点的最后一件事：其他一些代码与我看到的类似，似乎导致了一个疯狂的递归： SetWindowPos在函数中完成的大小调整似乎再次引发了函数代码。 堆栈似乎只限于30.我看不出有任何理由这样做，事实上它似乎有时会导致一些奇怪的不一致的幽灵图像出现在我的桌面上，有时永久！ 我的功能只是做了我认为应该做的事情。 看起来更稳定。 在我正确掌握API之前，我确实有很多有趣的制动方法。 但从那时起，代码似乎运行良好，在不同计算机和不同Excel版本的许多代码情况下都没有问题。 （在我尝试过的所有情况下，我的代码都有一个Exit -ed，正如我预期的那样，在If子句检测到函数是否在第一次递归复制运行的开始之后。（我认为它可能对unhook没有害处）直接在SetWindowPos之后***，以防万一SetWindowPos不会导致递归。（***似乎没有什么害处试图“解开”几次））

    Rem 4=============  Some hidden function / bookmark / bookmarks / cyber Robot thing was brought into life ("I hung or set a hook"). That monitors events like my message box popping up. When it catches one it starts this finction and passes to it three parameters. The first tells me with a number more excactly what even took place,  the next is the window identifying number of that window doing that particular event , the last parameter is something maybe to do with the mouse god knows what exactly probably even Sid don't know...  but looking at his Avatar I probably wouldn't say that to him  as he I don't know if I would want to mess with him...
    Private Function WinSubWinCls_JerkBackOffHooKerd(ByVal lMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long  '    I "set a hook"  which should trigger ( things similar to my Meassage box popping up  , and gave it the AddressOf this function ,  0   ,   and limited it to this "Thread" on my computer that is to say my Excel   )

So i assume then that SetWindowPosition has done what it should so I can "take the hook off" (as if i did not then the function seems to get triggeredt indefinitely even without recusion), and then I exit the function. So I do expect a second copy of the code to run, but due to this it does not do anything other than take the "hook off". I also reduce the count by 1. It is then at 1. But then the first copy of the function ends from just under SetWindowPosition. So then the count is reduced again and is at the initial 0
        If lMsg = 5 Then Let Booloks = SetWindowPosition(wParam, 0, 10, 50, 400, 150, 40)   '  5 here is the number for a window about to be activated. This is probably the one I want. If I catch it when it is starting , 3, then It might then re set the size and position stuff again to the standard after I have done it
     Let GlobinalCntChopsLog = GlobinalCntChopsLog - 1 '  Every first copy run of the code has the count reduced to 0 so that when it starts again (as the only first copy active) it will be increased to 1 again to indicate it is a run of the function copy 1
