Drawing Dots On An MS Form

Jun 30, 2005

im responding to the code you submitted to draw lines on a form. I am trying to change it a bit to only draw dots. I have x and y cordinates that I want to draw on the MS form kinda like a scatter graph. So I want to pass values from a table into the function LineX. Then have the function create dots that draw on the for to corespond to the x and y Cordinates. I was wondering if you could help.
thanks in advance


here is the original code
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit


Private Declare Function LineTo Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, _
ByVal Y As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function MoveToEx Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, _
ByVal Y As Long, lpPoint As Any) As Long

Private Declare Function apiGetDC Lib "user32" Alias "GetDC" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function apiGetFocus Lib "user32" _
Alias "GetFocus" _
() As Long

Public Function LineX(Ctrl As Control, X As Long, Y As Long, cx As Long, cy As Long)
Dim DC As Long
'device context
Dim hWndCtrl As Long
'bounding control handle
hWndCtrl = fhWnd(Ctrl)
'get control handle
DC = apiGetDC(hWndCtrl)
'get control DC
MoveToEx DC, X, Y, ByVal 0&
'set starting point
LineTo DC, cx, cy
'draw line from starting point to cx, cy
End Function

Private Function fhWnd(ctl As Control) As Long
'use getfocus to retrieve ctrl handle
On Error Resume Next
ctl.SetFocus
If Err Then
fhWnd = 0
Else
fhWnd = apiGetFocus
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Drawing On Form In Code

Nov 10, 2011

The access import wizard has a convenient form when a fixed-width file is to be imported. The form allows us to click the data to insert an arrow at a position where the next field should begin.

For my project, the wizard has some serious shortcomings, so I am trying to build my own import form. I can capture everything else needed to build an import routine, but I can't figure out, nor find examples of, allowing the user to place column breaks graphically.how to do this without using the wizard? Or rather, like in the wizard?

Green Dots

Oct 9, 2006

Should they implement them or not?

They are the small green rectangular things underneath a users number of posts. In most forums they are used as a ranking system judged by a users number of posts.

Drawing Data From Multiple Tables

Mar 17, 2007

I am a new user to access and are therefore seeking the assistance of a more experienced user (I'm sure this will be an easy one for all out there).

I want to be able to get records from different tables after the table name has been chosen.

In other words and to be a bit more specific, at the moment in one table I am selecting the tables I want to get information from. Once I select the tables I need to then be able to extract the required data from the selected tables and then put it into a new table with summary totals.

Random Number Generator For Customer Drawing.

Mar 9, 2006

My company does daily, weekly, and monthly drawings using mountains of entry tickets and a barrel that has seen better days. So needless to say this system has to go. I hope to be able to do it digitally.

I would like to do a random number generator to pick the winners based off of a ticket number range. The ticket numbers issued to the customer would correspond to the customer account number. To complicate things I would really love to have the random numbers displayed on the screen so people feel they are watching the randomization pick in progress with the winner name popping up.


I have searched Help for Rnd function, as well as googled. I haven had any luck finding what I need. Is what I am looking to do possible in access? I had something similar in Excel a few years ago but lost it.

Forms :: Remove Dots After Leaving The Field?

I have a database where I have a number from a client. We copy/paste it from a pdf file. The number has dots in it (1.00.00.000). I would like to create a solution that when I paste the number in the field and go to the next field, it will take out the dots from the number.

Forms :: Dots Or Commas In Currency Field

Nov 5, 2013

I have a form where I combine several fields in 1 textbox. At the end there is an amount. It should look like below:

The total cost of the products is EUR 29.342,45

I have the following formula in the textbox:

Code : =" The total cost of the products " & [Currency] & " " & [TotalPrice]

It would be great if the TotalPrice could be with the dots and coma in the correct way.

I tried to format it, but it was giving me nothing, the numbers stayed the same.

Dots In Filenames Throws Error When Trying To Link Tables

Apr 12, 2008

I've been using MS access to lift some text files for a number of years

I have now got an issue where by the new machinary is very clever and has alittle server to collect the data. Machine1_127.0.0.1, Machine2_127.0.0.1

Previously I picked them up via ftp and downloaded the data into a text file called Machine1.txt

Now I can run a server where by the Machine1_.txt is created locally on the processing machine

however the software included ( which I can't change) just creates text files like so Machine1_127.0.0.1 and now the link doesn't work when I create the link access throw this:

"Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the object c:Path to fileMachine1_127.0.0.1.txt. Make sure the object exists and name and Path are correct"

If I manually copy the file and rename it to machine1.txt all is good

Any offers/thoughts or suggestions, the path is quite deep at present and that could be changed.

I can't import the files either? unless I rename them and at the moment I am doing this through the interface

General :: Drawing A Line Over The Grid Depending On What Day It Is And Time

Sep 14, 2012

Here is a project. I have a grid on a form. its width is 20cm wide and 15cm tall. in the grid are 6 groups of columns (all columns listed are from left to right).

Group 1 - 5cm wide - description
Group 2 to 6 are 30cm wide and represent days. Each group is split into 8 columns which represent hours per working day.

I need to to draw or position a line over the grid depending on what day it is and time. for example, lets say its thursday at 14.30. ( the 8 hour columns run from 8am to 4pm ) it would need to look like this-

So I need to work out the position of of the line depending on the time of of the day in the week. The day can be determined by the column header, the time by the grid....

Queries :: Drawing Register Database - Lookup Specific Criteria Based On Date

Aug 11, 2014

I have a drawing register database which notes the revisions for all drawings issued. One drawing can be revised several times so I have a details table which notes the revision letter, date issued and the notes for each revision. Using this table I created a max date query to show the latest issue date and revision for each drawing. This query is used for a transmittal form for issuing drawings. Both the form and report is working perfectly.

The TBLTransmittal consists of the following fields
ContractName
IssueDate
SubSup
DwgNo (multi-value checkbox)

Using the TBLDwgRegisterDtls or the query QRYDtldDwgReg (which includes the drawing titles) I would like to create a query that would look up the latest revision at the date of issue and show the revision letter.

I started a query combining TBLTransmittal and TBLDwgRegisterDtls and in the criteria for DateIssued of the TBLSDwgRegisterDtls (which is when the drawing was issued by the architect to the contractor) I put "Not > [IssueDate]". This is filtering the information to show revisions issued up to the date we (the contractor) issued the drawing to our sub-contractor but I need now to pull the max revision only from this information.

Before I go I will give you an example of what I want from the end result

Drawing BK2-02 rev. D was issued by the architect to the contractor on July 17th. This drawing was in-turn issued to our sub-contractor (Sub "A") this Saturday, August 9th. The same drawing was revised this morning and rev. E was issued to Sub "A" today, August 11th.

I want the end report to show that Sub A received Rev. D on 09-08-14 and Rev. E on 11-08-14.

I'm wondering if another max date query on this new query would work? I'll try and see what happens.

Forms :: Opening A Form From Another Form Via Combo And Auto Loading Form Data?

Apr 14, 2015

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.

The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.

The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.

Forms :: Send Data From Pop-up Form To Main Form (sub-sub Form)

Aug 27, 2014

On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.

On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.

So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.

(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)

General :: How To Make Form Controls Change Size / Position As Form Is Resized

Jul 24, 2013

how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.

Forms :: Open Blank Form Based On Value In Text Field In Main Form

Jun 6, 2013

I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,

Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website

Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone

I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.

Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).

Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)

My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has

So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition

Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]

But, it does not work .

Modules & VBA :: Retrieve / Validate Data On 2nd Form Based On Record Selected On 1st Form

Jul 29, 2013

Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.

I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.

My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).

I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName]
Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex)
End With
EndSub

I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).

Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.

Forms :: Based On User Selection In A Form / Create New Records For Subsequent Form

Feb 3, 2014

The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.

The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.

New At Access: Update Simlar Text Fields In One Form Based On Another Form

Jun 13, 2006

I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.
