Changing color of shapes using vba

Question

I have inserted a bunch of rectangle shapes within my spreadsheet. They are called:

Rectangle 1 thru Rectangle 172

Is there some code I could use to change the fill and line color? I would assign the code to another button that would change it.

Answer 1

see if this will adapt to your needs make each rectangle call this macro

Sub doRectChange()
 Dim c
  c = Application.Caller
 MsgBox (c)
  With ActiveSheet.Shapes(c)
   .Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 3
   .Fill.Transparency = 0#
   .Line.Weight = 3#
   .Line.DashStyle = msoLineSolid
   .Line.Style = msoLineSingle
   .Line.Transparency = 0#
   .Line.Visible = msoTrue
   .Line.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 6
  End With
 End Sub

Here is an alternative Of course your button numbers may be different so adjust for that.

Sub allRectanglesColor()
Dim c
Dim color
c = Application.Caller
'MsgBox (c)
Select Case c
Case "Button 1"
color = 10
Case "Button 2"
color = 12
Case "Button 3"
color = 17
End Select
ActiveSheet.Rectangles.Select
 With Selection.ShapeRange
    .Fill.Visible = msoTrue
    .Fill.Solid
    .Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = color
 End With
End Sub
