Position Cursor At End Of Text Box After AfterUpdate Property
Oct 7, 2013
I am using an unbound textbox at the top of my form for filtering purposes. The user types in a string and hits "Tab" which kicks of the filter which is defined in the AfterUpdate property. I want the focus to return to the same textbox and position the curosor after the last character. I am trying to use SelStart but not having success.
Code:
Me.Filter = "COURSE_NAME Like '*" & Me.txtFilter & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
txtFilter.SetFocus
txtFilter.SelStart = txtFilter.SelLength

I have below code for maximum 3 criteria dynamic search:
Code:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim Criteria As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim A
Dim strAdd As String
[code]...
There is a problem, since I put the code in a textbox's on change event. then in case i want to revise the first two criteria, the cursor will automatically fleets to the end of the text, I want to know how to keep the position of the cursor?

I have several fields with text boxes and input masks. When a user clicks in these fields, it puts them in whatever position in the text box they click in. If they click to the far right, it takes them to the right position and doesn't let them type the entire date, formula, etc.
Any way to set the text box so that no matter where they click it automatically starts in the first position?

I'm trying to ensure that each time a new record is opened in a form, that the cursor is positioned in the first control/field... I have this throughout most of my application but not in a few individual forms.
I know I've done something in the past to ensure that this happens, but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks,
Peter

I recently found a neat little module which allows you to duplicate a right click & bring up pop up menu ( say by left clicking on a field). I find this very good for creating a nice little menu system in which I can reproduce the nice features of Access menus (I'm using Access 2002) but with a lot more flexibility.
So, I have a line of labels across the top of the form which are my top level menu items - when I click or mouse over these I want to have the pop up menu appear directly under the label. I can position the pop up menu manually by SetCursorPos(x,Y) but as my forms are Pop Up and can move this has proved to be a pain.
What I am after is something that will allow me to work out the coordinates of the left bottom of the label and then position the cursor there then drop the menu. The difficulty I'm having is converting or understanding the position of the label (me.label1.left etc) and relating that to what SetCursorPos needs.

Is there an automatic way of moving the cursor when an outlook email is opened using a VBA event??
Right had a look and haven't managed to google this yet but the background is as follows
I have some code that puts a recordset of people's email into outlook and leaves users with the outlook message open ready for them to append anything they want to the message body.
At the moment the cursor flashes at the very start of the message and users need to scroll down with keys or the mouse to the end before they can add additional text.
I want to automatically move the cursor to the end of the outlook email message opened using a VBA event?

Hi
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form.
What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly.
What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date.
I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine.
The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Thanks

Hello,
First post, new here. :)
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello all,
I have a text box that allows users to type a letter to a customer with a listbox next to it. The listbox is filled with data such as the customer's name, address, etc.... When the user double clicks an item from the list box, it should insert the appropriate data into the text box.
The problem is, is there a way to determine the current cursor location in the textbox so I know where to add the data?
For example, the cursor location has been determined before the text box lost the focus and now i am inserting the apporpriate data:
Textbox = left(TextBox, CursorLocation) & DataFromListbox & right(textbox,len(textbox) - CursorLocation)
Thanks for all your help.

Is it possible to force the cursor to move to the start of a text box when it gets the focus? (I suppose what I am really asking here is, is it possible to force a 'Home' key event?)
There is a text entry box, which when people put the cursor into it, it sometimes sits part the way in, consequently the operator could end up trying to type in more information than there is available space. I know that education might go along way here, but you just can't teach some people.

Hi,
I'm new here and I thought I had already posted this but i couldn't find it so I am posting again... sorry if I've posted twice
When I pass a value from MyTextBox to MyComboBox using:
Me.MyTextBox = Me.MyComboBox
It does Not trigger the AfterUpdate Event of the ComboBox
I need it to! Any Suggestions??
I have tried: copy and pasting by but that creates a problem
Me.MyTextBox = BarCodeData$ 'passes the variable value to MyTextBox
Me.MyTextBox .SetFocus
Me.MyTextBox .SelStart = 0
Me.MyTextBox .SelLength = Len(Me.MyTextBox ) + 1
SendKeys "^c" 'copies the value of of MyTextBox
as soon as I add the below line, it no longer copies the value in
MyTextBox
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
The onEnter Event of MyComboBox has the following code that works fine.
Private Sub cboLookupPart_Enter()
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
Me.MyComboBox.SelStart = 0
Me.MyComboBox.SelLength = Len(Me.MyComboBox.Text)
SendKeys "^v"
End Sub
If I ran all the code above, all works but the "Copy" and thus anything
that may be in the clipboard is pasted into MyComboBox, and the
AfterUpDate of MyComboBox triggers.
I know that there are compelling reason NOT to use the SendKeys but I
was just trying something
What I'd really like to do is eliminate MyTextBox and pass the Variable
directly to MyComboBox:
Me.MyComboBox= BarCodeData$
And have it force the AfterUpdate Event of MyComboBox
Eagerly awaiting suggestions!
Thank you,
Robert Bloomfield

Can the result of a combo-box be used in text in an AfterUpdate event?
Example, the combo-box (Result) can be negative or positive. If it is negative a textbox is populated with the test is (combo-box here)?

I have a form. On the form is a pull down box. When the user clicks a submit button on the form, it displays a message box if the name field is not filled out. I want to make it so that after the user clicks 'ok' on the message box, the cursor goes to the name text box so it makes it easier for the user to input his/her name. I would appreciate if some one could help me on this matter. Thank you.

I made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change()
ProjectSearch = Me.Text73
Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34)
Me.FilterOn=True
Me.Requery
End Sub

I am studying a book trying to learn vba and in the book it says, "To clear the text box of all contents, simply assign an empty string, also known as empty quotes, to the text box's Value property.
Example:
Code:
me.text1.value = ""
where would I actually put this line of code since I cant seem to find the value property in the property sheet of the text box?

I am having a little problem with making an audit trail for a form with some unbound text controls on it.
Since .OldValue won't work on unbound text boxes, google suggested that I put the old value in the control's tag property. This is what I came up with:
Code:
Dim ctl, tbox As Control
Dim strName, strOLD, StrNew, NewTag As String
Dim NextOne As Label
For Each tbox In Me.Controls
If TypeName(tbox) = "TextBox" Then
Select Case tbox.Value
[Code] ....
The first loop is supposed to dynamically assign the tag value, with whatever the textbox value is, however it doesn't. I've asterisked out the line i think may be the issue.

On my switchboard form, I have a check box which the user can check to make a text box (which appears in several different reports) visible and uncheck to make it invisible. The text box in the reports has the same name on all of them.
I am having trouble making this work.
I can think of two solutions, but haven't had success with either yet.
1. I could simply change the visible property of the report(s) control from the form. This works if the report is open, but throws an error if the report is not open.
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate()If Me!showNumOrgsInReportCB.Value = 0 ThenReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = FalseElseReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = TrueEnd IfEnd Sub
Is there a property or function I can use to test whether the report is open before I set the text box visibility?
2. Alternatively, a less elegant solution would be to run an event procedure to close all open reports. This would eliminate that issue, but I haven't gotten the code to work yet:
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate() Dim rpt As Report ' Enumerate Reports collection.For Each rpt In ReportsDoCmd.Close rpt.nameNext rptEnd Sub
This line:
DoCmd.Close rpt.name
throws a Run-time Error '13', Type mismatch.
How do I fix that?
I'm open to better ideas!
Thanks
