Modules & VBA :: How To Prevent ListBox From Unselecting Items After Right Click
Aug 12, 2013
i have a form that there is a list box inside that. after selection of items (usually 20 items) and right click the mouse on items it should open another pop up form,the problem is after right click selected items will be unselected except one item that there is mouse on that. how can i prevent list box from deselecting items after right click .
the code for mouse right click is like below:
Private Sub ItemList_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
Const RIGHTBUTTON = 2
Dim udtPos As POINTAPI
Dim frm As Access.Form
If Button = RIGHTBUTTON Then
Set mp = New [*clsMousePosition]
GetCursorPos udtPos
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmshortcut"
DoCmd.MoveSize udtPos.x * mp.TwipsPerPixelX, udtPos.y * mp.TwipsPerPixelY
Forms!frmshortcut!txtparameter = Me.ItemList.Value
End If
End Sub
I'm trying to create a right-click event on a listbox that will copy selected listbox item(s) to a temp table. So far, I've got this code to acknowledge the right click:
Code: Private Sub List0_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) If Button = acRightButton Then MsgBox "You pressed the right button." End If End Sub
Problem is the selected item on the list box doesn't move until after the mouse down event so whatever code I would run would involve the wrong record(s).
I'm using Access 2000 and 2003. How to get the the correct record selected on mouse down, or point me to a working example of right-click functionality on a listbox.
How do I remove items from a right click menu in access 2003? For example I need to remove the form view / design view button from a right click menu but i want to keep the hide/show columns button on the same menu.
I have two listbox (SearchResults5 has two columns) and list_asset_add (one column) both have Extended multi-selection active. I have this code that automatically moves the items between the two listbox (it runs after pushing a button):
Code: Sub CopiTo_Click() Dim Msg As String Dim i As Variant If SearchResults5.ListIndex = -1 Then Msg = "Nothing"
[Code] ....
This works quite well if I manually select the items that I want to move. Most of the times SearchResults5 has lots of elements so I have decided to create a "Select All" button to speed up the process, here the code:
Private Sub Command271_Click() Dim n As Integer With Me.SearchResults5 For n = 0 To .ListCount - 1 .Selected(n) = True Next n End With End Sub
When I use the "Select All" button and I try to move the items between the two listbox, the function does NOT work.
BUT if I manually select one or more items in the first listbox, then I clear the selection and finally I use the subroutine to move the items between the two listbox, then the it works well again. How to make it work properly.
I'm trying to setup a listbox so that multiple items may be selected and removed at once. The Listbox Multi Select property is currently set to "Extended" and I have the following code on the onclick event of a command button:
Code:
Private Sub Command12_Click() Dim i As Integer For i = List10.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
[Code]....
I have tested selecting 4 or so records on the list box and then pushing the remove button but it seems that the only record that is removed is the selected record that is furthest down on the listbox. The other selected records become unselected and must be reselected in order to continue removing records.
In my form I have the listFunctions list box set to Multi Select "Extended" in the following code contains a line to execute a query based on the selected items in a listbox. but for some reason instead of only changing the selected items it is changing all items in the listbox. I stepped through the code and it is looping the correct number of times based on the amount selected but is still changing all.
eg.if I select 3 items from the list, it loops through the execute 3 times.but the total 6 items will change.
Code:
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click() Dim varItm As Variant Dim sSQL As String Dim ssSQL As String
I am trying to set up a listbox with an option to select multiple items (I have done this and tested it with debug.print and it seems to work). I am then building a filter statement with VBA. I want to then use a button to add this statement to the filter in a subform with (a datasheet design), and then requery it.
My code below seems to be working in part. But I am getting all the items at times. Seems to work consistenly when selecting one item only, but I can't see anything wrong with my 'OR' statements when I debug.print.
Private Sub Command176_Click() Dim i As Integer Dim strFilter As String Dim blnFirst As Boolean i = 0 If Me.List163.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
I have an access form which i have turned of menus, navigation and shift key. What I am looking for is to have buttons on my form to allow users to create and delete queries from my form. I already have a listbox that shows all the queries and runs them when a user double click on them.The codes needs to run in access 2007-2013 in both 32 & 64 bit versions.
In the past a Teacher would manually create a Form (Student Form) containing Student information, (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup) as well as additional issues on the student. This would all be saved into a table.
I would like to change this manual process of typing in individually to each text box, therefore, I have been able to run a report from a external program that obtains (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup). This saves as CSV and I am able to import into a separate table within the database. This works no problem.
What I have set-up is a form that contains a listbox this contains the Student name and Homegroup from the imported table contents. Again this works fine.
What i would like to do is when a student is selected from the listbox and dbl clicked on, how can i make information (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup) populate the textboxes in the Student form that the teacher previously used? could this be an update query where the imported table information will then go into the Student form? If so, how can I tell the dbl click of highlighted name is the data i want to populate?
I have a main form with several subforms based on a 1 to 1 relationship. The information on the main form is common to all the groups and is kept in one table. But each group has unique fields so each has its own table.
Each of the subforms is displayed on a page.
Question: I want the fields on the subform to be enabled. But I don't want the user to be able to select the pages by pusing their button. Is this possible? What is the setting?
I always seem to lock the entire form.....................
I thought I had my login form really locked down by turning off all the navigation buttons including the control box and close button. I also disabled the navigation pane and allow full menus. The login Menu automatically displays when the database is opened. After I created the .accde I was still able to right click in the top area (where the name of the form is) and close the form. Actually when I right clicked I got Save, Close All, Close, and Form View. Is there something else I need to turn off?
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.
I have a list box bound to a table. 3 columns (ID, item, open). only item is visible. The box contains forms or reports that will open on double click. The column open contains the name of the form or report to open
Some forms and reports are a work in progress, hence, they are still listed in the list box but the open value is blank and of course won't run.
I'd like to change the colour of the list list box items that won't run.
I'm thinking maybe some kind of If.. isnull type statement...
As my title states, that is my problem! I'm building search criteria from a form and have multiple list boxes... I want to be able to determine whether or not a list box has items selected or not. I have tried as many things as i knew how to with no luck...
Also, i searched the forum but could not find what i was looking for -_-
I have a listbox control on my form which works in conjunction with my search field on the first form. I can add new items with FRM_ItemsAdd. I can delete records by pressing the delete button.
However now I want the ability to Edit items in the list. How can I tell access I want to edit a record?
Hi all, greate site and i have been able to solve most problems by using the search box although this problem is doing my head in...!!
I have a db that records project numbers and their details. I am using a listbox to allow a user to multiselect Project Involvements Tasks(ie Documentation, Build etc) against a project number.
I am able to read the selections into a separtate table with two columns which is structured as:
as you can see I dont have a problem getting the Itemsselected into a table... the problem that i am having is getting them out again when the record is displayed - ie marking them as itemsselected.
I believe that the event would be onCurrent which would loop through this table pick up the project number and recorded invovements and mark them as selected in the listbox. if there is no invovement then the listbox would show no selections.
I am using this code to read the selections in
=========================== 'Records project involvements against project Public Function AddInvolvements(ctlRef As ListBox) As String On Error GoTo Err_AddInvolvements_Click
Dim i As Variant Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef Dim strDelete As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set qd = dbs.QueryDefs!qInvolvement Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset
'Delete records where project number exists against an invovelment incase of involvement changes strDelete = "Delete Project_Involvement.ProjectNo " & _ "FROM Project_Involvement " & _ "WHERE (((Project_Involvement.ProjectNo)=[Forms]![Add_Project_Details]![ProjectNo]));"
For Each i In ctlRef.ItemsSelected rs.AddNew rs!InvolvementType = ctlRef.ItemData(i) rs!ProjectNo = Me.ProjectNo.Value rs.Update Next i Set rs = Nothing Set qd = Nothing
Exit_AddInvolvements_Click: Exit Function
Err_AddInvolvements_Click: Select Case Err.Number Case 3022 'ignore duplicate keys Resume Next Case Else MsgBox Err.Number & "-" & Err.Description Resume Exit_AddInvolvements_Click End Select
End Function ===================================
Any help would be much appreciated - also thanks to Pat Hartman for his excellent examples esp http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54924
I have a combo box that inserts data into an unbound list box and table. This works great but I am having trouble with the deletion part. I want to be able to dbl click on the item in the item list and delete it from both the list box and table. Currently, my code is deleting ALL items, not just the one item I want to get rid of. Any ideas would be most appreciated :) This is what I have for the deletion code:
Private Sub List92_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.SetWarnings False sql2 = "delete from PROFILE_Industry where " sql2 = sql2 & "profile_id = " & Me!Profile_ID sql2 = sql2 & " And Industry_focus = '" & Me!List92.Value & "';" DoCmd.RunSQL (sql2) Me.Refresh DoCmd.SetWarnings True End Sub
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!
I have a list of companies in a table which Is being accessed through a list box. I wanted the user to be able to double-click on the name of a company from that long list and then for that selection to show up on an adjacent shorter list box which in turn will be used for a search. How can I do this? Another option would be to drag and drop the name from on list to another.
I'm creating an employee audit database, and, in the audit form, the user (ie. supervisor) can select a number of items from a listbox. Each item selected corresponds to an error that the employee has made, and, as such, the employee's Audit Score has two points deducted for each item that is selected.
Incidentally, there are other, solitary elements to the form, but this particular listbox houses a collection of items that are related under a single category.
The score is displayed at the bottom of the form, and it needs to update in real-time.
The problems that I am encountering are that I am unable to count the number of items selected and then I am unable to multiply that count by 2 (the point-value of each item on the list.)
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.
