I have a text box and a list box in a form.
When the user types in something in the text-box i want the closest matching record (based on the first column) of the list box to be scrolled to.
For eg.
Text in Text box is Kan
Then the list box should scroll to records starting with Kan.
I am currently achieveing this using Sendkeys as i have rarely used list boxes but would prefer a cleaner method if possible.
I have a list box which shows table data, however i have alot of data and i need a Horizontal Scroll Bar in the list box, so i can view the data.
Any ideas or help?
Kind Regards

How do you add a horizontal scroll bar to a list box?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you add a horizontal scroll bar to a list box? I know that access will add a horizontal scroll bar when neccessary, but it will not add one to my list box. Is there a way to manually add one?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe are developing an Access 2010 database that is to be served using MS Server. Currently we have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64bit with Server Manager Version: 6.1.7601.17514 SP1 on a cumputer with 8GB RAM and an Intel Celeron G550 2.6GHz processor. All software is up to date with MS updates.
We are having a problem with dropdown lists that have too many items to show in the drop-down window so there is a scroll bar. If I click on the down arrow and open the drop down list, and then click on the scroll bar, the access window locks up. If I only click on a choice in the drop-down, but not the scroll bar, it works fine and does not lock up. Once access is locked up, I can click on another window on the desktop and then Access becomes active again. This does not happen on windows 7.
I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub
I have a subform on my main form that uses a query to display the information. On the query and subform there is a discussion field. I would like to put a scroll bar on this field so the user can scroll through the text since it could possibly be large but the scroll bar function does not work on this field. I have tried setting the scroll bar feature in properties for the sub form field but it will not put it on this field. Any ideas????
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe detail section of my (continuous) form may or may not have a scroll bar on the side depending on the number of records. When it is there, it is way off to the side and the user may not notice that there are more records to view. I'd like to add Up/Down buttons to the footer that become visible when the scroll bar is visible, and work like the Up/Down buttons on the scroll bar.
Can anyone suggest how I might code this?
Thanks,

Is it possible to change the colour of scroll bars in subForms?
Seems odd that you can easily customise all the colours, yet have to settle with a horrible looking grey scroll bar!
Any help or a 'work-a-around' to the problem would be welcomed.
Thanks
I'm trying to auto scroll the Detail Section where the user will able to see the last record on my continuous form.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
My sincere thanks!
I'm a fairly new user of Access-self taught, working for a small company. I can't figure out how to insert a scroll bar in my form to allow users to scroll down to the bottom of the page. When I switch to design view, a scroll bar is automatically included, but when I switch back to form view, there is none. I've tried inserting a scroll bar from the "More Controls" button list, but it won't scroll my form: the slider just blinks when I try to move it around. Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everybody. I need some major help. I created a form that does not fit in one screen (too long),so I use scroll bar. The problem is that when i turn the wheel up/down on mouse, it flips through all of my user IDs, like ID1, ID2, etc. instead of scrolling down. What do you propose? Thank you.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi! How can I disable the scroll button of the mouse?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have read much about disabling the mouse scroll bar - but my problem is that while I want the use of the scrollbar, it is very jumpy.
Does anyone know how I can control the functionality of the scroll bar?
Cheers

Basically what I want to do is create a form that combines 2 tables. For example, I want to be able to display a name, then display and be able to scroll through all information associated with that name. For instance, if the name had more than one address, how would I create that form with the right relationships and with the scroll bars? Thanx

OK, this one is doing my head in!
I'm using aleb's most handy code from this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100636) to have a multi select list box that determines recipients of an e-mail from the list.
I thought it would be handy to have it make a list that updates at the same time, showing what e-mail addresses will be sent. Here's the code I used:
Private Sub lstMailTo_Click()
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strList As String
Dim strElist As String
Me.cmdEmail.Enabled = True
With Me!lstMailTo
If .MultiSelect = 0 Then
Me!txtSelected = .Value
Else
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
strList = strList & .Column(0, varItem) & ";"
strElist = strElist & .Column(0, varItem) & vbNewLine Next varItem
If strList = "" Then
Me!txtSelected = strList
Me.cmdEmail.Enabled = False
Me!txtEadd = ""
Else
strList = Left$(strList, Len(strList) - 1)
Me!txtSelected = strList
Me!txtEadd = strElist
End If
End If
End With
End Sub
The code works, but when the text box becomes filled, you cannot see the bottom of the list.
How can I set it to know this and automatically put a scroll bar in, so the addresses can be reviewed before hitting send?
I was interested to see if I could do something similar, but instead have a label display just the last item selected. I tried strElist = .Column(0, varItem) and setting the label caption to strElist, but this only displayed the first item selected. How would I do this?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
Settings are:
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0"; 20"
Bound Column: 1
Width: 9.5417"
Why am I not getting a horizontal scroll bar?
If I add a 3rd column in I get a horizontal scroll, but it scrolls from column to column instead of across the full text of one column.
Hi Group,
First post here.
I'm using Access 2002 SP3 and have a number of comboboxes that all have the same problem.
When I scroll to the bottom of the list it only shows part of what I expect to see and when I let go of the scrollbar it pops up to the middle of its travel.
Scroll down again and I see more of the list. I have to scroll down 5 times in order to see the complete list.
Any idea what's happening?
Thanks in advance,
Randy
On the database I am working on, it would not be convenient for me to install the mouse scrolling that determines if the mouse should scroll down the form, or to the next record.
That is a nice feature, but more than I need.
I only need to disable the mouse scroll bar (so the users do not get confused and then update the wrong record). Is there an easy way on the open of a form to completely disable the mouse scrolling feature?
Thank you,
TJ Bernard.
