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:
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.
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.
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 form. On the form is a pull down box. When the user clicks a submit button on the form, it displays a message box if the name field is not filled out. I want to make it so that after the user clicks 'ok' on the message box, the cursor goes to the name text box so it makes it easier for the user to input his/her name. I would appreciate if some one could help me on this matter. Thank you.
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.
I made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change() ProjectSearch = Me.Text73 Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34) Me.FilterOn=True Me.Requery End Sub
I have one text box with the name of nametxt and one it's label with name of namelabel. I want to relocate this text box with it's label when the button02 is clicked to the new location. Thus i have tried using this code:
Code:
Private Sub Command02_Click() nametxt.Top = 0.2083 nametxt.Left = 1.0833 namelabel.Top = 0.2083 namelabel.Left = 0.5833 End Sub
But this code is not working correctly and relocate the text box to the up left corner of form. How fix this issue.
I have used Transfer text cmd to export query to text in MS access. This works fine. path= "D:/test/"DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed,"Query1",path,False But i need to change the path dyanmically as my wish when i run this query. Like i may save my txt in desktop or C: or D:. I dont want to hard code path as above.
Is there any way to achieve this? If i get the dyanmic location stored in path variable i can achieve it. But i dont know how to achieve this.
Actually i was confused Docmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery,query1
Above query prompts me for selecting location. But transferText doesn't? why?
As this application is stored on server. If i give a static path, its exporting in Server D:/test/ But i need this to be stored in my local. This can be done only if it prompts box for user to select the location.
What I'm stuck on is the filepath. The file path changes everytime. So I would like to have either the open dialog box (I've tried many different versions that I found on the web.) or to search by the account name for the folder and place the text file in there.
Here is one that is closely working how I want it to:
This is a function that I found, that opens a dialog box for the user to select the folder location. It works, but I can't seem to get it to work properly.
It prompts, the location, then once you select it and press ok. It will add the folder name to the full file name, and place the file in the default root path. Not the selected folder path.
So in the end it will look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderName_MyTextFileName.txt
I'm somehow stuck on getting to seperate the file path from the file name, so you it look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderNameMyTextFileName.txt
Code:
Dim MSg As String Dim SelectedDir As String Dim SelectedDirFinal As String Dim SelectedDirName As String Dim StrFolder As String
[Code] ....
I think it should be something very easy, that I just need a pair of fresh eyes to look.
I've tried the Fileobject, FileFolder method, but can't get the quite work properly.
I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
In a form a have a field wich contains for exemple 'ABCD', is it possible to place focus in this field after the last character (after the D in my exemple). Thanks in advance. VINCENT
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?
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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'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...
I have a subform (continuous) which shows a summary of all clients basic data in a list. Clicking a client requerys and refreshes some other subforms so the accompanying data for that client is shown. Whenever I double click a record, the "main" window for that "object" opens. So say I double click on client A1 in the summary list, a form opens where I can view all the clients data and change it if necessary. That same form is also used to add clients to the database.
Whenever I change or add a clients data and close the form, the following code is executed:
Private Sub Form_Close() On Error GoTo ClientsAdd_Err
ClientsAdd_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume ClientsAdd_Exit End Sub
Which makes the new client appear in the summary list or makes the changed data of an existing client appear in the summary list. That's what I want it to do of course.
But whenever that is done, the cursor jumps back to the first record (client 1) in the summary list. What I would like to have happen is:
- when a new client has been added, keep the cursor on that client in the summary list after the form closes and the list is updated.
- when a record of an already existing client is changed and the form closes, keep the cursor on that client in the list also.
DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "ClientsViewSummarySubForm", acLastgives "The object ClientsViewSummarySubForm isn't open. As does the same line of code but then using the name "ClientsViewSummary". The form itself is called that way. The subform object itself goes by: "ClientsViewSummarySubForm".
I've tried some variations but all without succes. Which line of code is the correct one to use for a subform on a parentform instead of "just" a normal, open form?
