Hi
ive got a form that has several textboxes. The cursor in all textboxes appears on the left hand side (which is good), but one field shows the cursor on the right side??!!! how do i change this, i want the cursor to be on the left hand side like the rest?
cheers
I'm trying to ensure that each time a new record is opened in a form, that the cursor is positioned in the first control/field... I have this throughout most of my application but not in a few individual forms.
I know I've done something in the past to ensure that this happens, but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks,
Peter
I have below code for maximum 3 criteria dynamic search:
Code:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim Criteria As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim A
Dim strAdd As String
[code]...
There is a problem, since I put the code in a textbox's on change event. then in case i want to revise the first two criteria, the cursor will automatically fleets to the end of the text, I want to know how to keep the position of the cursor?
I have several fields with text boxes and input masks. When a user clicks in these fields, it puts them in whatever position in the text box they click in. If they click to the far right, it takes them to the right position and doesn't let them type the entire date, formula, etc.
Any way to set the text box so that no matter where they click it automatically starts in the first position?
I have a text box which i use as a "search box"
I type in characters and my data sheet at the bottom will display all matches
What i want to happen is for the cursor to stay on the same text (search) box after hitting enter.
I am using an unbound textbox at the top of my form for filtering purposes. The user types in a string and hits "Tab" which kicks of the filter which is defined in the AfterUpdate property. I want the focus to return to the same textbox and position the curosor after the last character. I am trying to use SelStart but not having success.
Code:
Me.Filter = "COURSE_NAME Like '*" & Me.txtFilter & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
txtFilter.SetFocus
txtFilter.SelStart = txtFilter.SelLength
I recently found a neat little module which allows you to duplicate a right click & bring up pop up menu ( say by left clicking on a field). I find this very good for creating a nice little menu system in which I can reproduce the nice features of Access menus (I'm using Access 2002) but with a lot more flexibility.
So, I have a line of labels across the top of the form which are my top level menu items - when I click or mouse over these I want to have the pop up menu appear directly under the label. I can position the pop up menu manually by SetCursorPos(x,Y) but as my forms are Pop Up and can move this has proved to be a pain.
What I am after is something that will allow me to work out the coordinates of the left bottom of the label and then position the cursor there then drop the menu. The difficulty I'm having is converting or understanding the position of the label (me.label1.left etc) and relating that to what SetCursorPos needs.
On main form cursor working is goods as per default. But after come to in Subform its shown the cursor position in the last filed. So every new record is shown as the same last field. How to do this cursor position will be change in subform as per default?? and every new record its need to show as per default TabIndex "0".
I have checked my Tab Index & Order Settings also it is good. But its shown as last filed in subform

Is there an automatic way of moving the cursor when an outlook email is opened using a VBA event??
Right had a look and haven't managed to google this yet but the background is as follows
I have some code that puts a recordset of people's email into outlook and leaves users with the outlook message open ready for them to append anything they want to the message body.
At the moment the cursor flashes at the very start of the message and users need to scroll down with keys or the mouse to the end before they can add additional text.
I want to automatically move the cursor to the end of the outlook email message opened using a VBA event?
I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?

Does anyone know how to change the Cursor to an animated picture, or any picture for that matter?
I want to change the cursor while I am stalled out in a little FOR NEXT loop......then once I get out of the loop return to the default cursor.
THanks in Advance
Hi, Is it possible to get the cursor to change on a OLE object like it does on an Hyperlink? How know that you can do that with a text box with the "Is hyperlink" Format property or by adding a space in "the hyperlink address" of a command button but I can't see any property that I can change for an Ole object or a label. Is someone know if it would be possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm struggling with a very formal, not to say aesthetic, problem on one of my form used as a progress bar.
This form is very simple, it contains only one unbound control that is called "Percentage".
It displays the percentage of completion, when launching a report based on a somewhat "heavy" crosstab query (lots of records, etc.).
Anyway, the goal is to inform the user that the report is being processed, so that he knows wether he has time to get a coffee, or whatever he wants (the process may take as long as 2 or 3 mn).
As far as code is concerned, the variant "Percentage" is simply incremented in a loop included in the report design code, and refreshes the value of the "Percentage" control displayed in my form.
Everything works fine, except that I can't figure out a way to get rid of the cursor that stays in the unbound control : in fact, the percentage is displayed in reverse video, since the cursor focuses on the control at every iteration. Which gives my "progress bar" form quite an ugly look, and makes it difficult to read, whereas besides this "bug" it is perfectly satisfying.
Any idea anyone ?
Thanks in advance for this.
Hello all,
I have a text box that allows users to type a letter to a customer with a listbox next to it. The listbox is filled with data such as the customer's name, address, etc.... When the user double clicks an item from the list box, it should insert the appropriate data into the text box.
The problem is, is there a way to determine the current cursor location in the textbox so I know where to add the data?
For example, the cursor location has been determined before the text box lost the focus and now i am inserting the apporpriate data:
Textbox = left(TextBox, CursorLocation) & DataFromListbox & right(textbox,len(textbox) - CursorLocation)
Thanks for all your help.
hello my dear friends...
Few days ago I found some VB code which autometically move the cursor to the left of the field (with input mask) in a form to begin with... I mean whereever you click the cursor in the field it autometically comes in the beginning (left)...
I remember i have tried it with a sample form... but now today i can't find it...
I think i lost it...
Today i have searched the forum for this but coudn't retrive it...
Could someone find me out where it is??
Thanks in advance for your help
I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
Can anyone remember how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
First I am no good with code so I need your help!
I have code that tells the cursor to move to a certain field.
Private Sub Form_Current()
ClaimNumber.SetFocus
End Sub
It works for the most part - our problem with this is if we have the form open and we are searching on a different field say "Last name" when we click find next it finds the first one but if we click find next again it tells us that there is no records. This is because the cursor has moved to the ClaimNumber field.
Is there a way I can modify this code to say move the cursor only on a new record.
Any help would be great!
When I put some wrong value in the field the cursor not stay in the same filed its skip to next field. The code is as under:-
Private Sub RollNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If (RollNo.Value > 1) Or (RollNo.Value < 22) Then
MsgBox "Roll No is Wrong, Please Type correct Roll No"
Cancell = True
End If
End Sub
The RollNo is numeric field. How to stop the cursor in the box if I put wrong number.
I have a Logo which is actually startup form. I need a code to position this statrup form on near to bottom right corner of access window in all resolution. How ever at present I am using code :
Res = GetScreenResolution()
If Res = "800x600" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 9600, 5600
ElseIf Res = "1024x768" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 13000, 8000
ElseIf Res = "1152x864" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 14500, 9500
ElseIf Res = "1280x720" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7200
ElseIf Res = "1280x768" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7800
ElseIf Res = "1280x1024" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 11400
End If
But some times user use the application on different resulotion other then mentioned in code, the position of startup form looks awkward.

Please Could any one help out, i have this Database am building for students in a school, The attached WORLD file respresnt a query in the database. The Position in class and Position in level is suppose to grade the student automatically i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th e.t.c. according to the score in a particular subject in their class and in the level.
I dont know how to go about this, am not even sure if this could be done using the query or i should do it using VBA on the report sheet that i generated from the query.
If any one has any idea on how to go about it please let me know it will be highly appreciated.

if i open a form which has 100 records in it, in the navigational buttons at the bottom i can see the number of the record which i am viewing ... for instance record 24 of 100 ... Now if i decide to set the navigational buttons to not be displayed, is there any way through code, in which i can get the record number (for example Record 24) ?
Thank You

Can i move the blinking cursor to the end of field? I set in the options but it goes to the start of the field. and wants to overwrite the default text. I would like it to start at the end of the default text.
Can it be done with code?
Thankyou
I have 4 drop down lists calling values from a query.
This part works as expected.
However, I would like the focus to automatically change to the next drop down field after ANY (valid) entry is made.
IE
Drop Down 1: "any value" ----> focus automatically set to Drop Down 2, etc
The code I have only relates to 1 of the drop down values, I want it to rerlate to any of the values.
*************
Private Sub Question1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Question1 = "Yes" Then
Me.Question2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
*************
My values are simple, just "yes" "no" "I don't know", etc.
OR
If this cannot be done with drop downs, how about with field lists?
:cool:
Is it possible to force the cursor to move to the start of a text box when it gets the focus? (I suppose what I am really asking here is, is it possible to force a 'Home' key event?)
There is a text entry box, which when people put the cursor into it, it sometimes sits part the way in, consequently the operator could end up trying to type in more information than there is available space. I know that education might go along way here, but you just can't teach some people.
