Forms :: How To Move Item In Listbox Up And Down Access VBA
May 21, 2014
I have a list box contains 10 times . I have UP and Down buttons to move item up and down. My VBA works only if i set listbox multiselect property to 'None'. For the multiselect=simple option it throws error like in valid use of null in this line of code :
sText = lbfNames.Column(0, iIndex)
My VBA
Code:
Private Sub cmdUP_Click()
Dim sText As String
Dim iIndex As Integer
iIndex = lbfNames.ListIndex
'check: only proceed if there is a selected item
I've designed access form with one listbox and added 'up' and 'down' buttons to move up and down the selected item in the listbox. i.e from its selected position to one item up when 'up' button clicked and same as one item down when down button is clicked. Any VBA code will do this functionality?
The user can select multiple items (non-sequential) on the listbox, say items 1 and 35313. I'd like the listbox to scroll (meaning display) to the currrently selected item, so that the user can see it while being processed.
I've seen stuff about property ListIndex, which does exactly that, but it's only useful when you have just ONE item selected (in a multiselect listbox apparently it deselects the rest of the items, so no point in using it, I guess, unless there's more to it!!).
So the key here is how to do the scrolling/display.
The code to loop through the listbox and process each selected item is attached:
Code: Dim vItem As Variant Dim Content as String For Each vItem In Me.lst.ItemsSelected 'scroll to selected item ??? 'processing of the selected item Content = Me.lst.Column(1, vItem) 'copy the content to do sth with it Me.lst.Selected(vItem) = False 'unselect the current item Next vItem 'go to next selected item
how to scroll to the currently selected item? Mind that I need to go through the list of selected items to process them for further use (i.e, I need them selected).
I have a form with a listbox in which users should be able to move the items up and down. The listbox has 4 columns and multiple selection is enabled.
For a NON multiselect box I have it working, and also for a multiple selection box but in that case it works only for one row at a time.
For a NON multiselect listbox:
Code: cmdDown_Click() Dim i As Integer Dim t1 As String, t2 As String, t3 As String, t4 As String i = selectie.ListIndex t1 = Nz(selectie.Column(0, i)) t2 = Nz(selectie.Column(1, i))
[Code] ....
You can select an item and then press "Down" as many times as you want to put the items as "down" in the list as you want it to be.
Multiselect listbox
This code also works for a multipleselection listbox when one item is selected, however, after you press "down" the item is still selected (highlighted) as the code reselects is (last line) BUT the value of selectie.listindex apparently is set to "-1".
Pressing "Down" again generates an error (i = -1). I can evade the error by adding "if selectie.listindex <=0 then exit sub", but that doens't fix the problem that the only way I can manage to reset the listindex to the new "position" of the item is to click on it again and THEN press "Down".
To fix this and be able to press "down" multiple times listindex should be set to the new value.
Adding a "me.selectie.listindex = i -1" doens't work (error), it seems like this value is readonly.
I can't find a way to "simulate" a mousepressed selection and really set the listindex.
The other problem is of course that this code doens't support moving multiple items at once: listindex points to the last selected item, but only one.
So, I tried another piece of code to move multiple items, not using listindex (since that resets to -1), but I run into another problem
Code: Private Sub cmdDown_Click() Dim var As Variant Dim i As Integer Dim n As Integer Dim t1 As String, t2 As String, t3 As String, t4 As String n = Me.selectie.ItemsSelected.Count
[Code] ....
The problem with this is: I can select multiple items and press "Down", but the problem now is that the selection is lost as soon as the code removes the first item, and the 2nd loop skips the if selected(i) = true (nothing is selected anymore). The me.selectie.selected(i+1) = true doens't work since that would only reselect the first item after moving it.
The code "forgets" which items were selected and moves only one item...So I guess I need to put the indexnumbers in memory while moving the items.
I have been searching a lot, but can only find VB-solutions. In VB it's a lot simpeler using f.e. the .list property of a listbox, which is not available in MSAccess
The solution I'm thinking about is:
- set an array with the numbers of selected items - put indexnumbers of the selected items in the array (f.e. 3 and 4) - move items based on the indexnumers in the array - when moving an item update the indexnumber in the array (3>4, 4>5) - after moving all items reset the selection based on the array
It occurred to me then if I'm going to use an array anyway, I might as well load all items in an array, do the "resorting" and the reload the items in the list from the array. Might be more straightforward?
Btw...It seems VB has a simple solution to moving items: listbox.list(i) = listbox.list(i+1) or something like that moves an item. Even Excel seems to have this property but not MS Access!
My form utilizes five list boxes. The user must choose from each of the five list boxes in order to filter out a specific product from a products table.Every time the user makes a selection, the next listbox is filtered, and set focus to. Each listbox often contains more than 1 choice within it, however, there are a few cases where there is only 1 choice to be made.
How can i determine with code when a particular listbox only has 1 choice so that I can have the choice be made automatically and then set the focus to the next listbox in the series?
I'm using Access 2010 and have a form that is basically the last step in generating a report (which will be a printable invoice).
I am facing major problems when it comes to removing line items that the user may have accidentally clicked. I have a checkbox field embedded in the table (tblLineItems) which is set up as binary. I have created a form from tblLineItems, and have in turn embedded that as a subform on the invoice generating form.
When I select line items, I have them populating a two column listbox that shows the user what they have selected before actually opening the report. The code I am using is on the checkbox click event in the subform:
Code: Private Sub InvoiceY_N Click() Dim InvLineTotal As Currency If InvoiceY_N.Value = True Then
I am trying to populate a textbox from a field in a table based on clicking on a item in a listbox. User clicks a name from the Client table in the client field, and the date that is stored in the orderDate in the same row. I want the text11 textbox to show that date.
Right I have the code in place but it will only work first time out look is opened, unless I have a msgbox on the first line and, I cant work out how to make it work with out it, obviously the msgbox isn't code doing any thing but it must be setting focus or some thing, here is the code
Dim strID As String Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment Dim objDestFolder As Object
Hopefully somebody can help me on this one. I searched the whole internet and access forums, but I didn't find the exact solution for my problem.
I've got a table with students, a table attendance, where I now only save the students who are absent, but I would like to save also the students who are PRESENT (at the same time). I've got a combobox where I filter the Class, which then updates a listbox with the students from that class. What I do now is select the students from the listbox and then press a save button and it saves the records to the table absence with STATUS: ABSENT.
I would like to save the NON selected students also in that table, but with PRESENT in the column STATUS.
I thought of making another listbox next to it, where after selecting the absent students, they wil apear and disappear in the PRESENT table so I can store all the information. But the only problem is that I can find this solution when the listbox is populated by a list of values instead by a table or query. And the other solution is to store the temporary data into 2 different tables, but that's not working for me because it's a multi user database and everything will be messed up.
Hope that someone can help me, I will be very happy.
hi i apologize if this question has been answered before. i have looked at numerous others in the 'listbox' search box, but not had any success in adapting the answers to what i need.
i have a form A with a listbox of 1,400 rows
i then select maybe the 10th row down on the listbox, and
a new form B opens with information pertaining to the listbox row selected form A changes its visible value from true to false
i do my editing on form B
now what i would like to do is, on form B click a next button and for
form B to close form A to be visible again, and the next row (11th) on the list box be highlighted form B to open again but with pertaining to the next listbox row (11th) selected form A to not be visible
Here's a tough one that has been driving me crazy! (Probably easy, but I don't want to admit it!)
I have a form with a listbox called "lst_exclist". The recordsource for this listbox is the following query:
SELECT tbl_collexcludereasons.priority, tbl_collexcludereasons.excname, IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_collexcludereasons.priority FROM tbl_collexcludereasons ORDER BY IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_collexcludereasons.priority;
Which basically gives me this with dummy data: 2 PIPELINE ENABLED 3 HELLO ENABLED 5 GOODBYE ENABLED 1 BAD DISABLED 4 GOOD DISABLED 6 LAST DISABLED
I had two command buttons, one up arrow and one down arrow. The up arrow is supposed to move the selected record on the listbox up by exchanging the next lesser priority number with itself. The down arrow does the same. The DISABLED records are supposed to be ignored on the move up and move down procedures, meaning only ENABLED records are allowed to exchange priority numbers, and thus move up or down on the list. I tried the following code:
Me!lst_exclisthidden = Me!lst_exclist
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Dim startingnumber As Integer Dim endingnumber As Integer Dim nametochange As String Dim getchangerst As DAO.Recordset
If IsNull(Me!lst_exclist.Column(0)) = True Then MsgBox "Please choose an entry on the above list to move.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
If Me!lst_exclist.Column(2) = "Disabled" Then MsgBox "There is no need to move a disabled selection, please enable the selection to change it's priority.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
If Me!lst_exclisthidden = acLast Then MsgBox "You cannot move the bottom selection on the list down, please choose another one.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
But it seems to loop when it gets the the area it is checking for numbers because the highest records is disabled, so it's ignored. How can I make this work? Please help!
My query is executing on everything in the listbox. I only want it to be executed on the value that i select. What codes can i use? I really need some help on this one.
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim ItemNumber As Integer
I have 2 buttons that move items up and down in a listbox by changing a field value with the previous one and sorting by them..my question is thiswhen i click this button how do i get the listbox to reselect that item again with the new value? (requery and reselect i think)i just dont wanna have to reclick the item when i want to move it more than oncethanks in advance
Have created dynamic listbox, means list items are getting updated based on other listbox selection, to update listbox i have created query and linked the same with listbox row source.
Now i would like to add list item called "All" on top in the item list, which is not exist in the query results.
Is it possible to set a property to allow the user to click and drag an open form out of the Microsoft Access 2010 parent window? Specifically to a second monitor.
I have two listboxes on a form listbox1 and listbox2. listbox1 is populated by table1 which has 40 fields and 1000 records. listbox2 is populated by table2 which has identical structure to table1(same fields) but has no records.
For both listboxes Multi Select is set to simple. Rowsource is Select * statement from tables. Row Source Type is set to Table/Query.
I would like to select multiple records from listbox1 and add them to listbox2 and table2 or just table2. After selecting the records from listbox1 the user will click a button to add the records to table2. Also need to delete the values selected from table1 on same button click.
I have two list boxes on a form. The first listbox contains CATEGORIES and the second contains ITEMS that belong to respective categories. So, when i click a category the next listbox displays the items that belong to that particular category.
I need to know how to add new items to a selected category and also delete items from a selected category. If no category is selected or item already exixts, item should not add.
At the moment I have a query that returns a result based on what's selected in a combobox.
SELECT ComponentT.ComponentType AS ComponentType FROM ComponentT WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_ComponentNameCmb] & "*"));
Instead of this I want to rewrite the query to return a result based on what the user has selected in a list box of items. How would this query look. Would I need to increment it in a loop checking all entries into the list box as it can vary in size and if so how?
I tried changing the last line to WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_OutputLsb].[ItemsSelected] & "*")); which returned a result just not the right one. Is there something wrong with the syntax?
Does anyone know how to get the columns of a listbox selected item and store it to a string? There is no multi-selection so it should be easier. I tried s$ = Me.list1.selected but it keeps giving me an error
