Hide Command Button On Lost Focus
Jan 17, 2006
Seems simple, but I haven't been able to crack this one.
I've searched and haven't found an obvious answer.
I want to hide a command button after it loses focus. I've tried placing this code on the On Lost Focus and On Exit events of the command button.
Me.cmdName.Visible = False
I get the 2165 error, 'Can't hide a control that has a focus'.
I guess one solution would be to force the focus to another control first, however, "how do I know what control the user is attempting to move the focus to?"

Hi Guys. I want to Display a command button on a form dependent on the value of another control.
I have a Main Form: frmSalesOrders and a Sub Form frmSalesOrderDetails
I have a command cmdSpecialInvoice on frmSalesOrders.
On Form Load I hide this.
However if the user selects a MakeID from frmSalesOrderDetails with an ID of 61 I want the button to be visible.
I attempted to put this on the After Update Event of control 'MakeID'
If Forms!frmSalesOrderDetails!MakeID = 61 Then
Forms!frmSalesOrders!cmdSpecialInvoice.Visible = True
End If
I got an error stating could not find frmSalesOrderDetails?
That aside is it possible to do what I want?
Note:
MakeId is a combo. Takes its value from qryMakes if tht makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Phil.

I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

I have a form with three text boxes and one command button
I want to hide the command button from view until at least one of the boxes has data in it. I also want the command button to return to hidden if the data is removed
So far I have tried this on the after update event on one zof the text boxeswith absolutely no success.
Code:
If Me.txtFirstName = "" And Me.txtLastName = "" And Me.txtSocialInsuranceNumber = "" Then
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = False
Else
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = True
End If

Hi there.
I have a form and on open it traps the user into a combo box where an option must be selected before they can move to another field. I did this by using the lost focus event of the combo to check if an option has been selected and then return the cursor to the combo if no selection has been made.
The problem is that there is an exit button on the form which the user must be able to use to exit the form without interacting with it, say if they opened the form by mistake and just wanted to exit immediately.
I cant find a way to trap users into selecting an option from the combo before filling the rest of the form while still allowing the exit button to work. At the minute you still have to select an option in the combo even if you just want to exit the form.
I have been a notes developer for years so I’m still not that familiar with access and the way its events work so this could easily be a gormless question. Feel free to point that out. Any comments would be much appreciated.

I have a form with a combo box for the user to select a specific date. I need to update the date field after the combo box loses focus instead of on the change of a record.
Can someone provide me the vb code that will update the field when the focus is lost?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi there
I recently have been given a database to get into shape.
One of the main problems is that when a person enters data into a form, They until the leave the form are not aware if the primary key has been used before.
Let me try explain.
I have a booking number (which I have only in the last couple of days made a primary key and also changed it so there can be no duplicates)
I have changed the form around alittle so that the person entering the new data must start with entering the booking number.
How can I make a piece of code that once the booking number textbox loses its focus the code then checks the table to see if that booking number exists. I would like for the person to establish that they need to enter a new booking number before getting to the end before seeing that the booking number already exists.
I hope I am making some sense.
TIA

Hi,
I tried hiding a list control by setting its visible property to Flase in VB; however, it keeps returning a message: You can't hide a control that has the focus.
I don't know who to move the focus from my list control before hiding it. I searched in the MSDN online, but with no luck.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
B

I have read the threads on this subject and I thought I had my coding fixed, but obviously not, beacause I still get the error, "You can't hide a control that has the focus". Maybe it is a form/subform thing.
Here is my code:
Private Sub txtAge_AfterUpdate()
If Me.txtAge > 39 Then
Me!subfrmVersion.Form.chkWellness.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
txtAge is on the main form and chkWellness is on the subform.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Here's a little design problem, all of my VB script works fine, it's just a design problem:
Toggle Button (onClick) {
if pressed in, unlock protected field, pass focus to protected field
else (if not pressed in), lock protected field
}
Protected Field (lostFocus){
When Focus is lost, protect field then reset toggle button
}
See, there's no way that I know of for Access to tell what field has focus at any given moment. It lies inert until an event fires off then it responds. You can't wake Access up and tell it to go do something. So, Protected Field has to lock itself when it loses focus.
Here's the problem. If a user unlocks the field but then decides not to make a change and clicks the toggle again to lock the field, first Access fires the script to protect the field (locking it), then it resets the toggle button, then it registers the toggle button click which unlocks the field. See the problem? If the user changes their mind about changing the field and then tries to lock the field, it ends up unlocked. I need something that will work whether the user is good about it or whether the user is in a rush and forgets about it.

I have a form with a tab control on it. The input for respective fields are placed inside the tab control, and I have the "Confirm" button placed outside, on the main form. Now I wanted to be able to navigate my focus from a control from inside to tab control, out to the Confirm button on the form, to allow smooth flowing data entry.
However, it seems like Access separates the tab indexes for the controls in the tab control and outside on the main form, so setting tab index does not work. I tried using the code ON LOST FOCUS and SET FOCUS;
Private Sub txtPurchaseNote_LostFocus()
Forms![frm Imported]![cmdConfirmPurchase].SetFocus
End Sub
But then a dialog box appears:
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft access can't move focus to the control cmdConfirmPurchase
(cmdConfirmPurchase is a button control)

I have a mainform (f1) and a subform (f2). The subform normally is not visible ([Fomrs]![f1]![f2].visible = Fasle). When I click on a command button on the main form, the subform wiill show up on the main form ([Fomrs]![f1]![f2].visible = True). There is another command button on the subform. When I click on the button, it opens up a third form (f3). The relationship between f1 and f2 is master-child, and the relationship between f2 and f3 is also master-child.
After I open the third form, I want to close (hide) the subform (f2), but I got an error saying that I can not "hide an object that is in focus".
Do you know any trick to do that? Thanks a lot.

I'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.
I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

I want to show/hide a button on my form.The button is for entering a new record in the table of the database.Now when i Load the form, i want to check if there are already records in the table for a specific lanID. When there are no records, the butten has to be displayed. When there are already records for that lanID the button has to be hidden.
I have found some code to tackle that, but When i use the rs.MoveLast it hides the button when there are records, but when there are no records it gives an error that there are no records found. I almost forgot to say that i use Access 2010..Here is the code that i use:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim SQL As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim landmeterID As String
landmeterID = [Forms]![MainForm]![LanIDTxt]
SQL = "select * from dbo_Lan_Opleiding where Id_landmeter ='" & landmeterID & "'"
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(SQL)
[code]....

I have a form that has a listbox and a subform. The listbox lists names of events, start date and end date. The subform bellow reveals names of participants to the event that is clicked in the listbox. Against each participant's name is a button to delete the participant.How can I hide or disable the delete button if the start date of the event is past?

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
