Modules & VBA :: Set Event Handlers On Multiple Controls
Aug 7, 2013
I am trying to set event handlers on multiple controls in code. This works:
Code:
Me.Controls("txtPosition" & Right(CStr(iLoop + 100), 2)).OnClick = "=UpdateTaskList(" & CStr(iLoop) & ")"
This doesn't:
Code:
Me.Controls("txtPostIt" & Right(CStr(iLoop + 100), 2)).OnGotFocus = "=PostItGotFocusHandler2()"
The second gives an error: "The expression you entered has a function that <databasename> can't find.
I suspect it may be a parameter mismatch, but the normal GotFocus event handler does not take any parameters.

Basically I have a class event that works for all controls on any userform.
Its all working fine but I can't add an event to trap the click or mouse move of the userform itself.
Basically so when the cursor moves away from a control the label clears.
User Form Code
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
'Define a collection and initialise the commandbutton event class
Private col As New Collection
Private newCmd As New clsEvents
[Code] .....
And here is the class Module
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
'catch the event of Commandbuttons
Private WithEvents C0 As SubForm
'Private WithEvents C1 As CheckBox
[Code] ....

I'm using a mousemove event to display help text for controls in my form.This works well, but I'd like to display help text when the control is disabled as well (to explain to the user why it's disabled).is there any way to fire a mousemove event when hovering over a disabled control?

I have a report that tracks scores for our employees. From the report, you can click a button to add a new score in a form or edit an existing score(frmscoretracker). On this form there are two subforms, in a tabbed control to track additional information about the score; what areas were marked down(Trends), and was it a failing score(AutoFail).
When this form opens I have it programmed to only show the subform if there is data in it. The goal being, if I am adding a new score and there is no existing trends or Autofails for this new record, neither subforms will show - I will add an after update even to show either trends or autofail depending on the score recorded. Also, if someone chooses to edit the score, whatever subform with data, will show as well.
When someone clicks to add a new score, opening this main form to a new record, both of the tabs show. However, if the form opens to an existing record, the appropriate tab shows. Here is the code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'If the subform has a record, the tab is visible, if not, the tab is not visible
If Me.frmtrends.Form.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Or IsNull(Me.Trends) Then
Me.Trends.Visible = True
Me.TabCtl33.Visible = True
Else
Me.Trends.Visible = False
End If
[code]...
Both tabs are set as not visible in the default settings. Is there something in this code that is triggering then to be visible when there is no record in the main form?

There are 4 unbound dropdown list box that will have a default value of empty string. All 4 must have values entered (data is required).Once all 4 are required - the bottom 5 text box will become enabled (optional data).Forcing the user to click on a Validation Button
Some users type then use the mouse to select the next.Other users type to select then tab.The trick is: After filling in the 4th listbox and validating all 4 have values, the event must trigger code to enable the 5 optional text boxes below.This provides a seamless data entry environment.
I have been doing this in other places, but the transisition after the last required field is complete gets ugly.If Trim(cmbBoxname1 & "") = vbNullString ' check all 4..If it is the 4th one, the event seems not to happen quick enough for the bottom 5 text boxes to be enabled so the user can continue with data entry.

I work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.

Hello,
I have a form with multiple controls (textboxes) named:
Father
Mother
Child1
Child2
On the form there are also two checkboxes (check1 and check2).
I am using the following statement for each control and placed in in the OnCurrent event of my form:
If Not IsNull (Me.Fater) Then
Me.Check1 = "YES" (or -1)
Me.Check2.Value = False
End IF
Is there a way I can write one If statement saying:
If all controls Father, Mather, Child1 and Child2 or at least one of them has data, then Check1 should be selected and check2 emply. If all controls do not have data then ckeck1 should be empty and check2 selected.
Thank you.

Hello, I am reposting a question submitted some time ago to which I did not get much help, hoping for additional advice.
My database has two tables. Table1 and Table2. Table2 is a copy of Table1. Both tables have 50 fields. Data is imported into Table1 once a week. Before importing data I run a delete query which removes all data. Data imported adds records only to the following fields: FNAME, LNAME, SSN. This means that I am left with 47 empty fields.
Users can see data in Table1 using Form1. They will see the FNAME, LNAME and SSN. These fields are locked and cannot be edit or deleted. All the other 47 fields are blank and user can add data to them.
Currently I am using two buttons to:
1) Close the form (with the code Me.Undo, Me. CLose)
2) Run and append query to Table2 and deleting all added data.
I would like to combine these two functions in one button which would:
If no data has been entered in the remaining 40 fields, than close the form.
If data has been entered it should run the following procedure (Append data into Table2):
Dim MyDb As DAO.Database, MyRs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strCode As String
Dim strFilter As String
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Set MyDb = CurrentDb
Set MyRs = MyDb.OpenRecordset("Table1")
stDocName = "MyForm"
stLinkCriteria = "[SSN]=" & "'" & Me![SSN] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("AppendtoTable2")
DoCmd.Close
The problem I am having is declaring all the 47 empty records. Any suggestion or code? Thanks.

I've constructed a trivia database that consists of trivia questions that are classified into different categories. The DB also keeps track of which questions were used at which establishment. I am designing a form that will generate multiple rounds of trivia based on user criteria.
As seen here the user can specify the number of rounds and questions per round. Maximum number of rounds is 8 - the tab visibility is changed AfterUpdate of the number of rounds field.I have queries set up that do what I need for a single round - they choose random questions based on category, subcategory, difficulty and if they haven't been used at that client's before.
how to deal with multiple rounds without it becoming a headache. My tab layout has controls txtCategory1, txtSubCategory1, txtDifficulty1, txtType1, txtCategory2, and so on. Currently the queries use the values in the controls for Round 1. I would have to make eight copies of these queries (one copy for each round) in order to generate each round based on specific criteria, which would make a ton of queries. The other option is to use SQL statements in VBA, but this method doesn't like the [Forms]![frmCreateTriviaNight]![cboCategory1] in the code - I have to concatenate the names of the variables in and the code would be a mess.

Hello,
I have two controls on my form that I want to reference in an append query to create a new record. The first is a text box, the second is a combobox that is populated with all of the dates associated with the text box. The selection of a date updates a subform based off of a hidden column (chart ID, an autonumber field based on combinations of record numbers and visit dates) in the same combobox.
I would like the user to be able to enter a new date and create a new record that would contain the next autonumber in association with the new date and the record number from the text box control. I have tried using an append query with the following SQL, but I consistently get errors referring to "type mismatch." Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance.
Code:Private Sub cboDOVSearchChart_NotInList(NewData As String, Response AsInteger)Dim ans As Variantans = MsgBox("The date you entered was not found. Do you want to add a newdate?", _vbYesNo, "Add New Date?")If ans = vbNo ThenResponse = acDataErrContinueMe.cboDOVSearchChart = NullDoCmd.GoToControl "cboDOVSearchChart"GoTo exit_itEnd If' add dateIf ans = vbYes Then Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "INSERT INTO Patient_Visits ([Medical Record Number], " _ & "[Date of Visit]) " _ & "Values (" & Me.[txtChartMR] & ", " _ & "#" & CDate(NewData) & "#)" 'this line has the arrow on debug CurrentDb.Execute strSQL Me.cboDOVSearchChart.Requery Me.cboDOVSearchChart = NewData Call cboDOVSearchChart_AfterUpdateEnd Ifexit_it:End Sub

On the form I need to give the user the option to select a 'from date' and 'to date' and for this I have put in 2 calender controls which have the same control source(same table column). The problem I am facing is when I select a date from one calendar, the other calendar control automatically populates with the same date and vice versa.
I need to have a functionality where 2 different date can be selected and then when the Search button is clicked, then data within the date ranges should be displayed.
what changes I need to make to acomplish this ? find a screenshot of the form attached.

My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.
I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.
HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.
The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]
When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".

I'm trying to clean up one HUGE and ugly form by using subforms within tabs. I have a main form with "BottleID" as the key field and linking field. The tab displays pictures based on the BottleID and it works like a dream. My problem is that the "on_current" event happens 4 times on each record. For instance, I go up a record and it sets Picture1.value 4 times and it's the same thing everytime.
I'm wondering if the problems is due to bad table design. Everything is located within one table and I'm really unable to change this. It's been like this from the get go and too much to change to break it apart. Anyway, the subform is pulling data from the same table. I thought maybe this was the cause.
I'd post the database if possible, however there are hardcoded directory's and will not work unless they are all set up. Not worth it IMO. Any ideas? I tried doing the BottleID = forms!frmMain!BottleID instead of the auto-link in Access but it gives me several errors and I don't believe it buys me anything. Thanks in advance!

I have a form. I want to move a field and it's label. I need to unhook it from the other fields or I can't.
I found this post on another forum: [URL]
It says, in part, When you create your form, before you do anything else, open it in design view. Right click on the top-most of the stacked controls and choose Layout | Remove on the shortcut menu. All the controls are free to move individually now.
alas, I don't know where the "stacked controls" are or Layout/Remove or any "shortcut menus of any kind". (oh how I long for the simpler days of "ordinary" menus (easily accessible from the keyboard.)

I have a bit of code that uses controls on a form to batch add records to the tables. Before the code executes, it needs to do a check to make sure that all of the needed data has been supplied.
Code:
If IsNull(txtDateAdded) Then
MsgBox "Please supply the date that the Label record was created"
Exit Sub
Else
If IsNull(cboRecordCreator) Then

Using Activex controls for capturing video from a webcam or similar. Just looking for a snapshot that I could then forward via email from access.
Ive seen commercial licenses for an activex control. The form Im imagining would have a window showing the live video with a snapshot button where we could store the image as a jpg for example and then generate an email forwarding on the image. It seems possible!

URL...Essentially it seems like the format event fires only once with a docmd that has a where clause. If I print a single report it is perfect! Example one in the above post has a subreport, example 2 its very simply incorporated into the main report with no sub report.

I'm working on a code that checks all blank/null text fields and combo boxes in a form and notifies the user if a field is not filled. The code below works if all fields are required, but I can't use it on forms that have fields that are not really mandatory. I've read somewhere on the net to use tags on the controls i want to skip checking, but that's where i get lost.
Code:
Dim stdResponse As Variant
Dim ctl As Control
' Enumerate Controls collection.
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
' Check to see if control is text box

Is there a way to stop the controls from flickering when the timerevent fires?
What doesn't work:
Code:
Application.Echo False
Docmd.Echo False
TimerEvent on the current form
TimerEvent on a different form
Using Windows API:
Code:
Private Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" etc
Private Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" etc
Each of these events flicker the controls on my forms. The effect is worse when the form background contains a picture.

I have a problem with formating controls in a form. As a example, I inserted a tree view control and adobe reader control. After I've resized them manually in a design form, I switch into form view and they both resize automatically to their own size (don't know where it gets from).
In the result, I can't obtain the required width and height. How can I make them resizable to my own preference?
