Autosize Column Widths Listbox
Jul 30, 2005hello all,
I was wondering whether there is an "easy" way to make the column widths of a list box to adjust to the largest peice of data under it.... without filling it in yourself in the design view... So in VB....
I know that there is the property COLUMNWIDTHS, and that you can adjust it by calling that property..
But how to make it the column width to adjust automatically to the largest piece of text in that column??
Any ideas would be welcome...
tnx

Forms :: How To Change Column Widths In Datasheet View
Jan 2, 2014I am using Access 2013 (but I assume that the solution for Access 2010 will apply).
Here is the situation:
1. I have a simple datasheet form with three columns
2. I need to adjust the column widths so that all the text is visible
3. When I adjust the column widths, save the form, close the form, and re-open the form, the column widths reset
4. I need the column widths to either 1) stay the same as they previously were, or 2) be wide enough to fit all the text in each field

Changing Column Widths In Subform Bound To A Query Throws A Prompt
Aug 22, 2006i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
any suggestions?

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Set Combo Box To Value As Determined By Listbox Column?
Apr 30, 2013In short, I have a form that has a combo box containing people type values. Then two text entry boxes, firstname, lastname. Then an add, update, and delete button...
When the person type is chosen from the cbo, and the names are filled out, and the 'add' button pressed a query sends the values back via sql insert, and a listbox next to these controls then lists the new person records. Great - No worries...
Then, when someone wants to update the record now shown in the listbox, on double click of the record in the listbox, vba repopulates the name text boxes from the listbox's columns values (easy), and then *magically* the person type combo box chooses amongst its values the value stored in the person type column from the listbox.
I can't get the combo box to be set to the value that I am grabbing from the listbox's column values.
Code:
cboContactInfoType.{magic happens here} = ListBoxOfficeContactInfo.Column(3)
txtContactInfoValue = ListBoxOfficeContactInfo.Column(4)
txtContactInfoValue2 = ListBoxOfficeContactInfo.Column(5)
Part of me wonders if I would have to program in a way to search among the combo boxes values and find out which one was selected from the listbox, find it's index value and then set the combo box to be that index/value record... but that seems like a hard way to do it... and I'm not exactly sure how?

View 4 Replies View RelatedForms :: Summing ListBox Column When There Is A Null Value
Mar 13, 2013This is the function i'm using for summing a listbox column:
Function TonSum() As Variant
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer, ctl As Control
Set ctl = Me.lstDrivera2
J = ctl.ListCount - 1
[code]...
The problem i have is if one the records in the listbox doesn't have a value (is null) then Access gives me a 'Type Mismatch' error. How to treat the null value so it excludes it from the sum?
Forms :: Concatenating Listbox Items - Column Data
Mar 18, 2013I saw the following code on the forums...
Dim i As Integer, c As String
With Me.ListBox.Column(0)
For i = 0 To Me.ListBox.ListCount - 1
c = c & Me.ListBox.ItemData(i) & ", "
Next
End With
c = Left(c, Len(c) - 2)
This works great!! Now I am trying to concatenate the column 3 of the listbox.
Tried to use the code below (pointing to the second column) but it always returns the first column data.
'Dim i As Integer, d As String
With Me.ListBox.Column(2)
For i = 0 To Me.ListBox.ListCount - 1
d = d & Me.ListBox.ItemData(i) & ", "
Next
End With
d = Left(d, Len(d) - 2)
ItemData does not allow pointing to my 3 column of the listbox.
Forms :: Auto Populating A Form Stops After Column (6)
Apr 13, 2013I'm using a combo box to pull data from a table to auto populate the fields on my form. But for some reason, it stops inserting the data after city (column(6) and I can't figure out what's going on. When I run the query the data is there, if I change the order of the columns, the data shows. Here's the code:
Me.txtadjusterfname.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(0)
Me.txtadjusterlname.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(1)
Me.txtadjustertitle.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(2)
Me.txtadjustertype.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(3)
Me.txtadjustercompany.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(4)
Me.txtadjusteraddress.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(5)
Me.txtadjustercity.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(6)
Me.txtadjusterstate.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(7)
Forms :: How To Vary Field Widths In A Default SPLIT Form
Aug 18, 2013I am running Access 2003 and have created a split form using one of the std form options. The file it is querying has about 20 fields per record. The split form that is generated has four columns of 10 fields each.
E.g.
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
Employee Fred Smith Weekending 24-June-2013
Age 25 Hourly_Rate $30.00
Normal_Time 24 Sick_Leave 8
Vacation_Hrs 8 Total_Hrs 40
etc
etc
Field10_Name, Field10 Contents, Field20_Name, Field20 Contents
When I view the form generated, some of these fields are too narrow and others are too wide. I would like to make the width of the fields various widths. But if I try to widen one field in the column all fields in the same column are made the same width. It appears as if they are multiply selected. Is there any way of selecting a single field and varying the width without impacting fields above or below it in the column?

General :: Retrieving Value From Listbox Column?
Jun 5, 2014I have a list box with 3 columns and one line on my form and am writing an update query that is to use the value from the first column of the query to update a record in a table.

How do I write the code so that the value that is in column 0 of this list box is passed through the code?

Changing Listbox Column Head Titles?
Mar 23, 2006Hi there
I have a listbox and all is well - the only problem is that the column heads are a little 'ugly' - my column names are usually something like 'catagoryName', 'productType' and 'price' instead of looking pretty, like 'Catagory Name' and 'Product Type' and 'Price' respectively.
Is there any way to edit/format the title/column heads without having to change all the tables and queries etc, so they look a littler prettier?
Many thanks

View 10 Replies View RelatedForms :: Dynamic Row Source For Listbox From Multi-select Listbox
Jun 10, 2015I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1
FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION
WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate()
'Dim LocQryStr As String
'Dim r As Integer
'Dim ctl9 As Control
'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.
