Hi - first post, so apologies for any errors...
I am building a set a macros that can be used to quickly insert a textbox with a pre-determined icon inside it. I have been able to successfully build the textbox and select it, but I don’t know how to get the cursor inside the box to add the icon graphic so that it resides within the textbox. The following routine adds a textbox to the document in the place and size I want it, and selects the textbox border. I want to get the cursor inside the textbox so that I can then add the icon. With just the TextBox selected (cursor not inside the box) I am getting “Method 'AddPicture' of object 'InlineShapes' failed" when I try to add the icon. Here’s what I have: -------------------------------------------------------- Sub SetWindowUp() Dim winMain As Window Dim Box As Shape For Each winMain In Windows winMain.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 Next winMain Application.ActiveWindow.View.Type = WdViewType.wdPrintView x = Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelative ToPage) y = Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeTo Page) Set Box = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox( _ Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _ Left:=x, Top:=y, Width:=50, Height:=50) boxName = Box.Name ActiveDocument.Shapes.Range(boxName).Select ' the following line gives me error: "Method 'AddPicture' of object 'InlineShapes' failed": Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _ "https://cdn.hubblecontent.osi.office.net/firstpartycontent/internal/icons/wheelchairaccess.svg" _ , LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True End Sub ---------------------------------------------------- Sub Macro2() ' This is a macro I recorded that started with where I clicked ' on the selected textbox (left over by the previous routine above) and placed the cursor inside the box. ' From there I could insert the icon using this line - but here the TextBox name is literal, not a variable. ' ActiveDocument.Shapes.Range(Array("Text Box 37")).Select Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _ "https://cdn.hubblecontent.osi.office.net/firstpartycontent/internal/icons/wheelchairaccess.svg" _ , LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True End Sub ------------------------------------ What do I need to be doing to be able to insert the icon into the newly created textbox? Am new to VBA so any assistance most appreciated! |
