I'm pretty good at VBA but transitioning to Google Sheet scripting is killing me:
I have a drawing shape, with a textbox named
(by the end product there will be 6 text boxes, with identical actions)
I want to have a script which makes it so when I click the text box, the value increases by one.
I also have a reset textbox, which says reset, and when clicked, will set all 6 other textbox values to zero.
In excel, I had the following: subs for each shape which increased the textframe + 1, and a reset sub, but none of that language works in Google.
Please help.
I have also used VBA. Google currently has no equivalent to textframe. It has been requested. There are a number of like things you can try. The link below has a few examples. The first sheet (menu) has a menu named testing. It has four options. On open they will show multiple options. There are three named Button1, Button2, and Button3. Each shows a count. The count is set to 0 on open. If Button1 is clicked, A1 will be 1 and the testing menu will change to Button1 count=1. Clicking Button2 will change A2 to one and the testing menu will now show Botton1 count=1, Button2 count=1, Button3 count=0. The menu option Clear counts sets all button counts back to 0. Actually, the menu is replaced each time. The buttons tab has buttons that increase cell counts in total or separately.The button text does not change. I hope this gives you some ideas.

I have a sheet that is shared with quite a few people. They are supposed to fill in 5 cells, click the script button and it will insert the text below and sort it by date.
I created the script and assigned it to the button for this.
I need to protect the entire sheet except the 5 cells and the button.
When I add the protection nobody can click on the button. Is there a workaround?
Answer:
You can use Protected Ranges to protect the sheet from edit with the exception of pre-defined cells.
Steps:
Follow the menu item Data > Protected sheets and ranges from the Sheets User Interface.
Click on the + Add a sheet or range button in the newly-opened sidebar.
Click the Sheet tab.
Select which of the Sheets you wish to have protected.
Mark the Except certain cells check-box with a click (✓) and select in A1 notation the 5 cells you wish for users to edit. For example D1:D6.
Click Ok
Click Set permissions
Keep Restrict who can edit this range selected with Only you as the selection in the drop-down, and press Done.
This is enough - from here anyone you share the sheet with will have edit access to the specific five cells you specified in the exception rule. The button is also clickable as long as the user has authenticated the function to run as them.

I have several fields where I have several hyperlinks, lets say in fields A1:A10. I want to create Button A and Button B and put under it script so on Button A will open all links from range A1:A5 and on Button B will open all links from range A3:A10.
I know I can open them with right mouse button click, but I want to assign specific range to specific button.
I'm trying to count (and sum up) different (physical) items and input those counts in a spreadsheet. Is there a way to increase (or decrease) an integer in a field in OpenOffice Calc? Mouse or keyboard input.
Either a shortcut+macro combination or something along the lines of these (fictive) arrows:
i.e. pressing up would increase the field to value 43
In fact I would be happy for any suggestion for an open programme that would digitalize such input and produce some sort of csv or similar output.
Via View - Toolbars - Form Controls get the toolbar Form Controls visible.
There you have Spin Button control (see tooltips).
Insert this on the sheet by clicking it and pull the size of it with the mouse. Pull it longer than width.
Right click the control and select Control... from the context menu.
On the Data tab set the Linked cell to A3 for example.
Now switch the design mode to off by clicking the corresponding button at the toolbar Form Controls (see tooltips).

I have one split container.
In panel1 of split container, it has 2 PANEL, first panel contains 2 buttons and 1 combobox. second panel contains 2 labels. I had tried to set tabIndex of label control to 0
but when I run program button gets focus by default. When I press TAB key, next button gets focus after that "combobox" gets focus after that again button1 gets focus. But label never get the focus. Why it is so and hoe to solve this ? I want label to get focus or I wish those buttons and combo will never receive a focus.
Thanks
Rahul
You can't set focus on a label because labels do not accept input. Only controls that accept input can be focussed.
