Modules & VBA :: Remove Multiple Items From ListBox
Aug 6, 2013
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
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 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 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.
How does one go about removing a recordset from a ListBox?
I have a list box that I want to toggle between using a query and an ADO RecordSet to populate the values.
Once I set the listbox .RecordSet property to the ADO.Recordset, I can't remove the values displayed in the listbox when I assign a query to the .RowSource property.
I suppose I can turn the .RowSource query to an ADO Query but I am being lazy and don't want to rewrite the query as a T-SQL query.
I previously thought the list box was pulling data from the .RowSource query but I realize I was wrong.
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
Inside you can find one form with listbox (with multi selecting ability).
I use this code :
Dim strSQL As String Dim i As Variant With Me.se1 For Each i In .ItemsSelected SQL = "DELETE '*' FROM [t1] WHERE [id] = " & .ItemData(i) & " ;" CurrentDb.Execute (SQL) Next End With Me.se1.Requery
Result is this one : 1) If I delete only one item in list, it is ok. I can do it again and again and it is working fine.
BUT
2) If I delete more items in list at once, it is ok - but if I will try to do it again then there is an error because .ItemData(i) value is Null.
I am currently in the process of creating a form that will allow you to enter details for an email sent, select a number of documents from a list box and then open the mail message pre-written with attachments. The attachments reside in a list box currently, and I am attempting to use a "For Each" with item selected.column(3) as the file path, as column(3) contains the filepath from the table.
Currently my code is:
Private Sub OutlookBut_Click() Dim olApp As Object Dim objMail As Object Dim varItm As Variant On Error Resume Next Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
[Code] ....
When this code runs, outlook will open as a process when it is closed, but then freeze and not allow me to see it or access it in anyway. If Outlook is opened Microsoft office usually gets angry at me and decides to throw error messages at me.
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.
A search form, to search into those tables (It searches by "User")
The search form contains a listbox that shows results (listPC)
And the following code:
Option Compare Database Dim strUserPC As String, strUserTel As String Dim db As DAO.Database, rsUserPC As DAO.Recordset ', rsUserTel As DAO.Recordset Private Sub txtSearch_LostFocus() strUserPC = "" strUserTel = ""
[Code] .....
It works, but I have one problem. It only shows telephones or desktop, not both. It deppends on which line inside UpdateList is first.
That example searches into 2 tables:
-Telephones -Desktops
And searches by "user".
I want to list all telephones and desktops that a user has assigned.
I created a form with a ListBox and a Command Button. The users selects the values in the listbox and then click the button to create word documents. I've written VBA code to accomplish this. But it's not working properly. It opens multiple word documents but all for the same one.
Private Sub Command6_Click() Dim appWord As Object Dim varItem As Variant Dim strPathToTemplateFile As String Dim strPathToProspectiveFile As String Dim strPreferredFileName As String For Each varItem In Me.List0.ItemsSelected
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'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.
I have a form with a textbox, listbox and a button.
my textbox is based on one of my tables, and when I enter a value (which is saved in my table) in my textbox and press enter, certain values in my table goes to my listbox, and my listbox will just additem whenever I do same thing in my textbox all overagain.
how can I subtract listbox.column(1) items in my table field "Item_Quantity" where my Listbox.column(0) is equal to my table field "Item_Description".
My Listbox column count property = 4 Row source type = value list
I am trying to create a list box that passes to the database a value that is different from what shown in the drop down list. For instance, I want to show the users a drop down list with "Yes" and "No", but then storing into the database "1" when "Yes" is selected and "2" when "No" is selected.
