Textbox (text Change Affects Listbox Element Select)
Jan 18, 2006
I am totally new to ms access form development.
I have to construct a form with a text box a command button and listbox.
listbox contains the list of items.I have populated the list box with the items in the tables.Now on the same page I have to add new item via text box and when click command button it should be added(all these thing I have done).
Problem is that I have to do some thing like
if a type any letter in the text box all listbox item are arrange like that like
If Items are abcd,aaaa,aabb, aa,abb,bba,bcd,bab
I enter ba in the textbox then itme should be arrange like
I have an unbound listbox on a form which displays a list of staff, both past and present, based on an SQL query.
I want to be able to differentiate between current and past staff using different colors, i.e. Black text for current employees and red for employees who have left, based on a field (True/False) in the original staff table.
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 would like to type a value into a list box and then press a command button and have that value transfer to a list box for later use. I've been playing with the onclick event of my command button and this is what I have so far:
Code:
Option Compare Database Private Sub Command4_Click() List0.AddItem Text2.Text List0.ListIndex = List0.ListCount - 1 End Sub
When I click the button I get an error:
2185 - You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.
I have a drop down box where I select a Retailer. When this choice is made I want the last invoice entry to appear in a text box. I have attempted this by creating a query which contains the top 1 invoice in descending order. My dropdown box Event updates a hidden List box using List677. Requery and List677 has a SELECT statement in Row Source
So far so good this bit works
I want to use this value as a default in a Textbox. I thought I could use the same trick to populate the Textbox as I did the Listbox so i tried Text232. Requery after the List677. Requery in the Event above. But no it does not update. The only time the textbox updates is if the Listbox is in Focus and as I said this List box is Hidden. How can I get the textbox to change in real time... I would use the Listbox but i need to be able to change the value of the contents to run reports, I just want a default value.
textBox Default Value: =[List677] textBox Control Source: =[List677]
List677 Row Source: SELECT LastInvoice.Invoice FROM LastInvoice;

So I got everything to work exactly as I wanted it to.. the listbox has its rowsrc manually changed via VB on form open or record change... so everytime the record changes or the form opens, VB creates a query string that pulls the TFE_Num and TFE_Name from the DB for only those records where the forms current key (me.key.value) equals the TFE_key values. And everything works.
The problem is that this VB based query is very slow... so everytime the record changes, we wait 1-5 seconds for this listbox to pull data and display it. My question is this: Is there a better way to do this, some way that doesn't require VB based SQL statement. I'm asking because all the non-listbox controls on the form use a control source and they get updated instantaniously on form open or record move, but the list boxes that are unbound and are populated using VB SQL are really slow... and there are really only 1 or 2 records ever displayed in the list box.
I have tried to set the rowsource for the list box within the properties tab and comment out the VB SQL code, but haven't succeeded. I suspect the issue is that the form is linked to all fields in the master table while the list box is linked to a 1st and 2nd generation child table... I just can't get it to work! I've tried simple adding the TFE tables and fields to the forms record source poperties, but when I do that I can only navigate to records that have TFEs associated with them.
I suspect I could resolve the issue myself, if only access queries allowed "me.key.value" to be used in the WHERE statement. Am I correct that you cannot do this in Accesses query builder or the SQL version? When I tried, it worked but then I notices the me.key.value got converted to a number (the first record) when it ran the first time.
hi, i have list box and the source coming form Query. i want when i click on one in list box want it will show [faults] field in textbox from query the field [faults] is a memo can someone help me __________________ David
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)
In the past a Teacher would manually create a Form (Student Form) containing Student information, (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup) as well as additional issues on the student. This would all be saved into a table.
I would like to change this manual process of typing in individually to each text box, therefore, I have been able to run a report from a external program that obtains (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup). This saves as CSV and I am able to import into a separate table within the database. This works no problem.
What I have set-up is a form that contains a listbox this contains the Student name and Homegroup from the imported table contents. Again this works fine.
What i would like to do is when a student is selected from the listbox and dbl clicked on, how can i make information (Name, Gender, Birthdate, Homegroup) populate the textboxes in the Student form that the teacher previously used? could this be an update query where the imported table information will then go into the Student form? If so, how can I tell the dbl click of highlighted name is the data i want to populate?
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.

On that form load I want to use the following SQL statement to populate that text box.
SELECT TOP 1 tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Machine, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.The_Date, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Time FROM tbl_QA_Check_Sheets ORDER BY tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.ID DESC;
Can anyone help me out here. I need to use an unbound text control to return me a value if a field is populated else "Local" if the field is not populated. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and show me the syntax if it is. Help appreciated. Andy
I would like to display message box in access VBA if the user forget to change the text box value after clicking the submit button. Example: 1 card contains 9 rows when they input the 7th row message box should come out "please remember to Change the card Number"
I am trying to populate a textbox from a field in a table based on clicking on a item in a listbox. User clicks a name from the Client table in the client field, and the date that is stored in the orderDate in the same row. I want the text11 textbox to show that date.
this is a re-post - can anyone help? I think this is an easy one for the experts out there!
I have a form called frmTshtExp which is bound to a query called qryTshtExpenses. Most of the fileds in the form are combos and text boxes bound to the fields in the queries.
However, the first combo is unbound. It is called cboProjectSelect and it filters the second combo called cboWorkstreamExp. This is done using a query called qryTshtWorkstreamExp which has workstreamID, workstream and projectID as fields.
The filter works fine. The trouble is that selecting a project from the first combo filters workstreams from the second combo for ALL records that are entered. In other words, no matter how many rows are entered in the datasheet on the form, they all have to have a workstream belonging to just ONE project. I want to be able to enter different workstreams belonging to DIFFERENT projects on each row.
I hope you can help. I've put in a reduced version of my db in the following location:
unfortunately, I didn't know how to disable the securities I've set up, so you need to log use the shortcut (after modifying the target location in it's properties) and use the word "forum" as username and password.
