Not-So-Easy Select And Deselect In Listbox (For Me At Least)
Sep 29, 2005
I made sure I did a search for this topic before I posted, so please don't flame me.
I'm trying to do something that in theory does not seem hard to do, but for some reason I can't translate it into code. With using a ListBox, I understand how to do a simple "when a value is selected, the remaining values are deselected" code. What I am trying to do is:
When the form is opened, the default selection of the listbox (lbOfficeLocation) is "***All Offices***".
If the user selects any other value (multiple values can be selected), the value "***All Offices***" is deselected.
If the user selects the value "***All Offices***", all other values are deselected.
For some reason or another, I can get (1) & (2) to work, but I cannot get (3) to work. After I make my initial selection that forces the deselection of value "***All Offices***" and highlights any other individual or multiple values, I try to re-select "***All Offices***" and it won't highlight, and will not deselect any of the other selected values.
I have tried multiple ways to code this, from using a For loop, If statement, and even a Select statement (Case 1, Case 2, ...), even using both Click() and AfterUpdate() as the event procedures, and nothing. I don't know how to use a IIF() statement very well, but do I need to use one of those? The code for what I have so far is below:
The name of the Listbox is "lbOfficeLocation".
Private Sub lbOfficeLocation_Click()
Dim holder As Integer
For holder = 0 To lbOfficeLocation.ListCount - 1
If lbOfficeLocation.Selected(holder) = True Then
Me.lbOfficeLocation.Selected(0) = False
End If
Next holder
End Sub
This code is for the deselection of value "***All Offices***" if any other value is selected. Please help me find the code to help with scenerio (3) as listed above, while still maintaining (2).
Thank you in advance, and feel free to ask for any additional info.
Hi, is there any (reasonably simple) way to select or deselect multiple items from the List Box with individual clicks without using Ctrl key. Eg first click on an item would select it leaving all other items as they are, subsequent click on the already selected item would deselect it etc. I hope this is not too confusing and I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1 FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate() 'Dim LocQryStr As String 'Dim r As Integer 'Dim ctl9 As Control 'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.
i have a multiselect listbox in my form. The multiselectlistbox contains the names of different persons from tblUsers. it's allready possible to write the id's of the names to another table (tblPresent).
But what I can't manage to do is re-select the values in another multiselect listbox. This multiselectlistbox is located on my editform. I can display the values using a valuelistbox, but i need to see the non-selected items too..
I've got this multiple select listbox which writes data into a textbox:
Private Sub List2_AfterUpdate()
Dim Cursisten As String Dim ctl As Control Dim Itm As Variant
Set ctl = Me.List2
For Each Itm In ctl.ItemsSelected If Len(Cursisten) = 0 Then Cursisten = ctl.ItemData(Itm) Else Cursisten = Cursisten & "," & ctl.ItemData(Itm) End If Next Itm Me.txtCursisten = Cursisten
End Sub
And I've got a SELECT ALL button to select all records in the listbox:
Private Sub cmdSelectAll_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdSelectAll_Click
Dim i As Integer
If cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles Selecteren" Then For i = 0 To Me.List2.ListCount Me.List2.Selected(i) = True Next i cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles De-Selecteren" Else For i = 0 To Me.List2.ListCount Me.List2.Selected(i) = False Next i cmdSelectAll.Caption = "Alles Selecteren"
The only thing is that when I use the SELECT ALL button, the function List2_Afterupdate doesn't work anymore. There must be a simple solution but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone please help me?
I have the following code where C is the listbox control
wCount = C.ListCount Screen.ActiveForm.Painting = False For wCounter = 0 To wCount .Selected(wCounter) = True Next Screen.ActiveForm.Painting = True
This works fine - but is slow if a listbox has lots of records.
Is there a quicker way to select all items in a listbox?
(Both simple and extended - maybe this occasion will never happen that someone wants to select so many items that speed becaomes a factor, but I would like to have this covered just in case)
I'm trying to select a specific row in a listbox in the OnKeyDown event on my form. Basically, while in a subform, I want the enter key to move the focus to the list box, specifically to row After the last selected.
Here's an example of the code I thought would work:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim ItemNumber As Integer
I currently have a ListBox which I am using on a form as a "jump To..." record selector. It has to show 4 values to the users, and so far it has worked quite well. However, I recently added some queries to the footer of the form to help narrow down the data for searches, or if the user wants to see all open data of a certain topic. I'd like to have the ListBox "refresh" and only display the results of the query, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. The root of the problem seems to be that the initial SQL for the ListBox is selecting values from the under-lying table, and when the filter is applied, it simply doesn't care. When you click on entries that aren't in the filtered dataset, it doesn't error out or anything, and when you click ones that ARE in the filtered dataset, it does work properly... I'm close... How do I filter the listbox as well?
Hi, I tried putting a multiple select listbox in my access form but I cant put values in it. I want to put values of a table (i.e a field in the table) in the list.
I have selected the microsoft forms 2.0 listbox.. 1> How can I put values in it? 2> Is there a way to make the access listbox a multiselect one?
hello! i'm trying to select more than one value in a listbox based on a comma-seperated string in a textbox. it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do, except it's only selecting the last value it loops through. it doesn't seem to remember the others. there's probably an easier way to do this than how i did it, but here is the code:
Code:Dim lst As ListBoxDim lngCount As LongDim strSelection As StringDim strNewSelection As StringDim intLen As IntegerDim lngLen As LongstrNewSelection = ""strSelection = Me.Text19.ValueWhile InStr(1, strSelection, ",") <> 0strSelection = Trim(strSelection)lngLen = Len(strSelection)intLen = InStr(1, strSelection, ",")strNewSelection = Left(strSelection, intLen - 1)Set lst = Me!List0lst.RowSource = lst.RowSourceFor lngCount = 0 To lst.ListCount - 1 If lst.Column(0, lngCount) = strNewSelection Then lst.Selected(lngCount) = True Exit For End IfNext lngCount strSelection = Right(strSelection, lngLen - intLen)Wend
At the moment I have a query that returns a result based on what's selected in a combobox.
SELECT ComponentT.ComponentType AS ComponentType FROM ComponentT WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_ComponentNameCmb] & "*"));
Instead of this I want to rewrite the query to return a result based on what the user has selected in a list box of items. How would this query look. Would I need to increment it in a loop checking all entries into the list box as it can vary in size and if so how?
I tried changing the last line to WHERE (((ComponentT.TotalComponent) Like [Forms]![DeviceF]![D_OutputLsb].[ItemsSelected] & "*")); which returned a result just not the right one. Is there something wrong with the syntax?
I have a button when you click it, it runs a append query to change all true check boxes back to false my problem is after it runs the append query the user see a long error message, then to see the check boxes change .....you have to go back and click the button again.....not very pretty here is what I have
I am just starting out in Access Development. I have a database that runs a logistics department. This was working fine until the users wanted a little more tweaking.
The report prints out the vehicles with all corresponding drops. This comes out all on sheet.
Is there a way that I can create a form to filter the report via a multi select listbox and print each drop selected on a seperate sheet of paper.
Hello, Propably I am asking too much but know that Access and VBA can almost do anything. Is it possible to add a list box on a form to list the spreasheet in a excel file and by clicking on the select record make a print only of that specific spreadsheet?
How to do a 'Delete from ListBox' . My listbox is populated, but I want to be able to put a button on the form, select a record from the listbox and press the button to delete that record from the list.
I should add that this is an unbound listbox so it needs to be removed from the listbox and the table that is populating it.
Listbox is List22 the table that populates it is 'tblShootingTasks'
I am having a form that has a listbox, which brings up a lot of records, and the user may choose multiple records, but when user wants to scroll down the page to multi select, he cant do it with the ctrl keyboard button, when he press ctrl the page jumps back up, is there any workaround for that?
I recently have ontained some responsibilies from a coworker who has left the company.
I have frmEdgeReport which uses ratio buttons to populate the
multiselect listbox .. this all works.. now i need to add date ranges and
Everything I do seems to screw up what I already have working..
I have added two textboxes - txtStartDate and txtEndDate.
Currently I am getting error when i put the SELECT statement in its own query that says "Invalid SQL Statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'."
and when I just run my form I am getting an error that says "Error 3142 - Characters found after end of SQL statement"
this is what i have so far :
Private Sub SetReport() On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box. Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items Dim strWhere As String 'String to use as WhereCondition Dim strDescrip As String 'Description of WhereCondition Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of string
I have a form that opens by showing an option group:
Search by: 1-Team 2-Rep
Based on the option chosen (1 or 2) another set of boxes and options appear that let you select the team or rep and the report you want:
If 1:
Combo: Team A/Team B/Team C Option Group: 1-Report A, 2-Report B, 3-Report C
If 2:
Combo: JohnDoeRep/JaneDoeRep/SchmoeDoeRep Option Group: 1-Report D, 2-Report E, 3-Report F
I have specified the logic for which report to run in the OnClick event of the Run Report button based on the conditions above.
My problem occurs when a user for example chooses Option 1 and runs a report, then comes back to the form and wants to run a report under Option 2. When this happens, the report selection for Option 1 stays selected, and as a result, both reports are run when the Run Report button is clicked.
How do I get the Form to deselect any options in the old selection if a user switches from Option 1 to 2 or vice versa?
ive ste up a form with list boxes being used as filters but once ive made a selection i can deselect it to clear the filter. any ideas where the stetings are to control this?
I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
I am using Access 2013. I have the ability to pull a selection from a listbox. I can create a Select Sql string using that variable
sql As String, strCompany As String, strWhere As String strCompany = strCompany & Me.lstResource.Column(0, varItem) strWhere = "[Company name]=" & "'" & strCompany & "'" sql = "select * FROM tblResources WHERE " & strWhere
From here I have trouble. I see lots of examples to run an active query but not much on a select query. I have tried a number of things with no success. How to use this select statement to actually run against an existing access table? I am not putting it into a form or report at this time, just running the query to check results.
