Modules & VBA :: Treeview Feature - Determine Exact String Width (in Pixels)

Dec 12, 2014

I am working with the Access Treeview feature and I'd like to align the different elements in my nodes exactly below each other.

Therefore I need exact distances (if string is longer then XY, cut short, if shorter, extend to XY).

Of course I cannot work with len() and fill with spaces because letters have different widths.

Is there a way to determine the exact width of a string? e.g. in pixels?

Modules & VBA :: Expanding Treeview Automatically When Node Matches A String Variable From A Table

Jul 14, 2014

I'd like to expand me tree view automatically when a node matches a string variable from a table. In other words, when a node in a tree matches the given name (variable), the tree will expand all the way down to that name. I guess I need to use "For each node" and when the node and variable match, the tree structure will show up.

I have come up with something like this:

Code:
For Each nd In Me.tree.Nodes
If nd = level1 Then
nd.Child.EnsureVisible
Exit For
End If
Next nd
Me.tree.SetFocus

But this only shows the first level of my tree ( btw. I have a 3 level tree). I get lost inside the FOR when I want to make use of another two variables - level2 and level 3

Query Search For An Exact Value In An Exact Location

Sep 3, 2005

Background:
I have a database that keeps track of containers -what they belong to, and what is in them. Each container has a “Call #” which is labeled on the container and is a primary key in the database. The “Call #” field is set to only allow 5 characters in this field. A standard “Call #” for example is "A 152".
When a new container comes into the system, which has not been physically labeled yet, I enter it in the database a little different. So let us say container "A 152" just came in, and has not been physically labeled yet. I enter the “Call #” into the system as "MA152". The "M" tell me it still needs to be physically labeled.
When I go to label all the unlabeled containers, I print a report with all the "Call #''s that start with "M".
I have another field in the same table called "Mark". In my forms I can then go through and click a "Mark Button". The Report prints all containers where the "Mark" field = yes(True). This feature is used for a number of different reports, not just unlabeled containers. To keep the database clean and in order, all “Mark” fields reset to no(false) whenever it opens up.
Because, I used the “Mark” field for other reports, simply clicking the “Mark Button” when I enter the new container into the system will not work.

My Question:
Is There a way to have a Query search for the first letter in a field. So when I go to print my report, a query runs looking for all "Call #s" that start with the letter “M”.

Modules & VBA :: Search Form Will Not Return Exact With Wildcard SQL

Jul 4, 2014

I did export the table data into a tabbed delimited format and will include that at the end. If you want to reproduce my bug copy that data in a txt file and import that into the table tblMain. Make a search form and a sub form. the sub form is linked to the table and the main form is unbound with two search buttons.

Problem Statement:The code works fine. I did find a bug that seems to arise with the wild cards when the entire field values are entered. You can replicate the bug by testing the search criteria listed below.

This is a brief example of the bug. A detailed description is near the code below.

If my name is "Devtycoon" and I search "Dev" the SQL statement will build "*Dev*" and it will pull up my name, "Devtycoon". On the contrary if I search "Tycoon" the SQL statement will build "*tycoon*" and it will pull up my name, "Devtycoon". If i search "DevTycoon" the sql statement will build "*Devtycoon*" and no results will be returned. That is buggy because the name is in the database but no wildcards would be needed.

Table structure:

tblMain
ClientID
Surname [text]
Organization [text]
ProgramTitle [text]
City [text]
State[text]
Zip4 [text]
Telephone [text]

Form1 contains the controls for search criteria. Three text box controls are used to filter a sub form control called "DS". The sub form is called sFrmMain and is a datasheet that shows results of the search. there is a button that runs the code and another button that clears search criteria and shows all records. Both button's code set the sub form's record source using an SQL string built using a function that returns a segment of the overall search string using the contents of each control that then is concatenated into a SQL statement used to set the record source.

There is a function for the following components of the SQL statement

SELECT / FROM
WHERE
controlA = me.txtSurname
controlB = me.txtOrganization
controlC = me.txtProgramTitle
This is how you can replicate the bug.

I tested two additional surnames organizations and program titles as follows:

Try example (1). you will get both the 4's and the 14's records returned.

If you type in letter for letter of the second record (the one with the 14's) no records populate. It is like the wild card does not like it if you type in the entire field value. Uncle Gizmo's and Allen Brown's method do the same thing were no records populate if the 14's entire surname organization and program title are entered into the text controls. Can you reproduce this error? Other than that I think either method is bulletproof.

Example criteria

1) put the following criteria in each control then hit the search button

4 surname
4 organization
4 program title
[two records returned]

2) put the following criteria in each control then hit the search button

[no records returned]
14 surname 14
14 organization 14
14 program title 14

Code behind search form:

Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdShowallRecords_Click()
Dim strSQL0 As String
Me.txtOrganization = ""
Me.txtProgramTitle = ""
Me.txtSurName = ""
strSQL0 = fSQL_SelectFrom & fWhere & fSurName & fOrganization & fProgramTitle
Me.DS.Form.RecordSource = Left(strSQL0, Len(strSQL0) - 5) & ")"

[code]....

Modules & VBA :: Debug Error For TreeView Variable Definition?

Jun 24, 2015

I am using Windows 8.1 64 bit system. Into attached access file (OfferStudy.accdb) ,trying to load an activeX TreeView control by defining into a form module. First, I created an empty form and activeX Treeview control.When I define tv variable As TreeView as created in application, it is changing as Dim tv As treeView instead of TreeView. After my code is completed,an error message ("user-defined type not defined") is returning as shown in attached (DebugError.png)file.

I suppose that there is some conflict on creating activeX control on my Access 2013 application.

Modules & VBA :: How To Use Treeview Click Event To Show Pictures In Folders

Dec 10, 2014

I have been looking into populating a tree-view with folders and files, and have found some great examples for doing this, How ever...I cannot seem to work out how to show files/pictures in a form based on the click event of the tree-view.

I have managed to do an onclick event for the files in the tree-view, but I cannot seem to get the onclick event for folders in a tree-view.

Here is an example which I am working on at the moment, but get the error Object variable Or with block variable not set.

Set Property For Form Size In Pixels Rather Than Inches?

Nov 3, 2014

I want to set the size and shape of my forms to exactly fill a screen at a particular screen resolution. I can only see a width property in inches and nothing in pixels. Is this possible?

I know I can set the fit-to-screen property to yes but this isn't what I want. I don't want a form to fill a screen at any resolution. If a screen is a higher res than the size I've formatted the form for I want it to appear the same size on the higher res screen (i.e. with a border of background around it.)

Is this possible?

Modules & VBA :: Excel File Export Auto Cell Width?

Jun 26, 2014

I have the following code to export a query into a excel file:

Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
outputFileName = "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Q_Search_Invoices", outputFileName, True
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls", True, False
Set xlApp = Nothing

This works almost exactly how I want it to work.

The only thing wrong is that the columns are all the same width and they are all to narrow.

Is there a way to make the columns automatically become the width of the longest text within them (exactly what happens when you double click on the side of a squashed column in excel)?

I need a module but haven't got the foggiest on where to start. I have a query that works out whether a staff member has done a sleep in based on their clocking out time (TIME OUT). I also have a column for DAY IN which it stores the day they logged in and HOUSE which indicates which house they clocked in at.

Modules & VBA :: Determine Year From Month Count?

Jun 16, 2014

I have a table that has a field for month represented by a number. I would like to report by month but group by year. The report would group months 1-12 into year 1, months 13-24 into year 2, months 25-36 into year3, etc..... up to possible 20 years. Is there an easy way to identify and group the year? I was thinking of adding another column to the table and when I write the values to it include a year. I would rather do it some other way as the data is spilt and would require a lot of table modifications to distributed db. It would be easier to do it with a query or some code in the front end.

Modules & VBA :: Determine If Item From Listbox Is Selected

I am having trouble with a If statement. I am trying to save a record into a table when an item is Selected (highlighted blue) in a list box. Keep in mind that my listbox is set to multiple selections. I have the following code but sometimes it works and sometimes it doest.

The reason why I am trying to get this to work is because when a item is selected I will add it to the table and when an item is deselected I will delete it from a table. See my code and pictures I have attached :

Dim list As String
Dim id As String

Modules & VBA :: Using Two Combo Boxes To Determine Value For A Textbox

Sep 17, 2013

I have a form designed to update content on a website. I'm trying to work out how to populate fields with entries from past dates.

I have set up two combo boxes for each 'spot' on the site, one for date: Feature_1_Date and one for which content spot the content was occupying Feature_1_Spot.

The idea being that these boxes would read the row from my table to find the date, and the column to find which spot the content did occupy to copy the same content into a field Feature_1_Content

From what I can gather I need to use DLOOKUP (I'm very familiar with VLOOKUP on excel) but I'm doing something very wrong as can't get it to show any content.

Modules & VBA :: Determine Which Printer Was Selected From The Print Dialog

Feb 10, 2015

This for an app being used in Access 2003. I'm trying to (sort of) automate naming a PDF report. After the user selects a printer from the print dialog, if the printer name is like "*PDF*" then I want to put the PDF file name in the clipboard so it can be quickly pasted in the file name of the PDF printer's save dialog.

Something like this:

Code:
Dim strSelectedPrinter as string
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt1", acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint

[Code]....

but that returns the name of the default printer, not the selected printer.

Modules & VBA :: Using Form Control Value To Determine Query Criteria

Jan 26, 2014

I'm working on a report called Open Orders and when the database loads, it takes you to a Navigation Form. You make some selections mostly from combo boxes, then click run report which runs a query then launches the report.

I want the user to be able to click a check box called "Ready Only". If the checkbox = True, then I would like the field "Ready Pieces" in the query to have the criteria ">0". If the checkbox = false, I want that field to show all values (*).

I have no problem setting the criteria of a query field to equal that of a combo box value (Warehouse Like ([Forms]![Process Form]![Warehouse] & "*") but have problems when the criteria isn't the exact same as the value of the control.

Things I have tried to no avail: Putting a Iif statement in the query criteria: gives an error that criteria is too complex Creating an invisible text box whose value is determined by the checkbox to ">0" or "" then basing the Ready Pieces criteria equal to this....doesn't work Trying to use the DoCmd.RunSQL with my SQL code that changes via VBA when the checkbox is changed...Get an error and the SQL doesn't run
