Modules & VBA :: Label As Button Does Not Finalize Textboxes

Apr 24, 2014

In Access 2007, I'm using labels as buttons because they can be made pretty. Since labels can't have focus, the focus is not shifted from whatever textbox users are in on button press. The value in that textbox is not considered updated when the macro runs, and things get messy from there.

I had been using a setfocus between two textboxes to work around this, but that seems like a copout. I now have a simple form with just a textbox and a button, so this seems like a good time to learn the right way to do this.

Modules & VBA :: Label As Button Doesn't Change Focus

Jan 20, 2014

I'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.

I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.

Difference Between A Command Button And A 'label' Button

Aug 12, 2005

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :


Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End

If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

Command Button To Delete Data In Textboxes

Dear All:

I have created a form where data is entered. I wish to place a command button on the form and when it is pressed, it deletes data in specified textboxes. The texboxes are: LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, MIDDLE_NAME.

I assume this is done using vb, but I am clueless.

Any help is most welcome.

Forms :: Lock / Unlock Textboxes Based On Option Button?

May 11, 2014

I have a form with 2 option buttons on it one with year 12 on it and one with year 13. I have a simple form with drop down menus and text boxes allocated for year 12s and 13s. I want all of the year 13 text boxes and drop down lists to be locked if year 12 is selected and I want all of the year 12 text boxes and drop down lists to be locked if year 13 is selected. I do not want to over complicate the form by hiding parts of it or having a new form open depending on the option button selected.

Label In Front Of Button

May 25, 2006

I have a button on a form that is hidden, the button has a label over it, both are normally hidden.

When the user presses another button on the form I need these to appear but however I do it, the label appears behing the button.

Ive sent the button to the back and brought the label to the front, both by default are not visable

when the user clicks the button I run the following psuedo code

me.button.visible = true
me.buttonlabel.visible = true


any ideas?

regards

Andy

General :: Variable Button Label

Oct 28, 2014

I have a printed form that pulls some of its data from a table.What i need is that printed form to have a variable that two area in the form can change based on who is printing the form.I have a table that has all the users data in it. the current form pulls that information from the label and places it into the for. easy enough so far right.

for example. But i need this printed form to be able to be dynamic. So for instance Tom inst sitting that the computer wanting to print the form and so on for four different users who will print the form.So the button that allows the print either needs a way to have a selection or i need four different button. So the second part of this Mark Twain quits his job and Johnny takes his place. easy enough to change the data in the table that my form is pulling the data from but the button label needs to change to that the button.

General :: Using A Toggle Button To Change A Label Colour?

Feb 27, 2014

Is it possible to use a toggle button to change the colour of a label?

I assume the code should be something like this:

Code:
If Me.ToggleButton = 1 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
ElseIf Me.ToggleButton = 0 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If

But I've tried it in the "On Click" sections and it doesn't work.

Modules & VBA :: Character Limits In Textboxes

Dec 13, 2013

I will try and keep this brief. I have a paragraph of text, I have to paste it into a system which allows me 75 characters in a line and 208 in a page.

I have code which creates text boxes dynamically based on the total amount of characters/208 - this gives me how many textboxes need creating. I also have code which then populates those textboxes 208 characters at a time. I now need to alter it so it puts a line break every 75 characters.

Code:
Private Sub btnsubmit_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoteForm", acDesign
Dim x As Integer
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim y As Integer

[Code] ....

So I've achieved almost what I want, I just need to amend it so it starts a new line after every 75 characters...

Modules & VBA :: Disable Multiple Textboxes With A Check Box?

Dec 27, 2014

When UseDDelivery is checked the three textboxes should be disable and when the form is opened UseDDelivery is set to be checked by default so the textboxes should be disabled when the form opens but they aren't. the two different ways of doing it are shown below.

Elements specific to my system :UseDDelivery = checkbox
AltDeliveryAddress = textbox1
AltDeliveryTown = textbox 2
AltdeliveryPostcode = textbox3
Solution 1:

Code:
Me.AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = UseDDelivery.Value
Me.AltDeliveryTown.Enabled = UseDDelivery.Value
Me.AltDeliveryPostcode.Enabled = UseDDelivery.Value

This is a bit of vba a friend wrote for me quickly, it includes all three textboxes but the checkbox enables them instead of disables.

solution 2:

Code:
Private Sub UseDDelivery_AfterUpdate()
If AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = True Then
AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = False
Else
AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

With this bit of vba I found the checkbox enables the textbox instead of disabling it and I can't figure out how to include the other two textboxes

Modules & VBA :: Populating Unbound Textboxes With Data From A Table

Aug 7, 2014

I want to know a way of populating unbound textboxes with data from a table without using the easy assigning data in the property of the box. I want it to be all done with code, which to me isnt a huge deal but I've yet to find answers on the web pertaining to this issue.

for example:

Say i was searching a primary key in one box and based on what ever is typed in i'd like it to populate the rest of the textboxes.

Modules & VBA :: How To Change Controlsource Of Multiple Textboxes With Public Function

Jun 11, 2013

I have multiple reports that use similar IIF statements as the controlsource for four textboxes. Naturally, I don't want to have to update twelve controlsources if any of the calculations change, so I thought I'd make this a public function. However, I don't know how to pass along multiple textboxes as variables. Here's what I have so far:

Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function txtColor(ByRef textbox As Control)
Dim str1, str2, str3, str4 As String
'The IIf statement is simplified for this example. It's not important.
str1 = "=IIf(IsNull([Inquiry start date]),'W',IIf([txtInquiry]<1 And IsNull([Inquiry end date]),'R'))"

[Code] ....

And this is in the report (where ??? is what I'm asking about)

Code:
Private Sub Report_Load()
Call txtColor(???)
End Sub

The error I get is "Runtime 424 Object Required"

Code Triggered From Label On Click Behaves Differently From Command Button On Click

Nov 7, 2006

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop

When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.

Thanks

Richard

Modules & VBA :: Error Handling (label Not Defined)

Modules & VBA :: Current Checkbox Label Update

May 25, 2014

I have the following module which displays the backcolor of a checkbox label if it is true or false

Private Sub FormatLabel(chk As Control)
With chk.Controls(0)
If chk Then
.BackColor = vbYellow
.BackStyle = 1
.ForeColor = vbRed

[Code] .....

Which works great! But I cannot figure out how to make it work in the control AfterUpdate Event. I tried using it in the current control's (checkbox) after update event

Dim itm As Control
If itm.ControlType = 106 Then FormatLabel itm

but nothing happens (no change, no error message).

I have tried creating a new module:

Public Sub CheckBoxFormat(chk As Control)
If chk = -1 Then
chk.BackColor = vbYellow
chk.BackStyle = 1
chk.ForeColor = vbRed
Else
chk.BackColor = vbWhite
chk.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If
End Sub

But when I try to call it in the AfterUpdate event for the particular checkbox

Private Sub CheckBoxA_AfterUpdate()
Dim itm As Control
If itm.ControlType = 106 Then
CheckBoxFormat itm
End Sub

I get the error message "Expected Variable or Procedure not module"

So, (1) is my module all wrong or (2) am I calling it incorrectly or (3) wrong on both items?

Modules & VBA :: Creating Label Report With (TimesToRepeatRecord) Criteria

Dec 7, 2014

In my database (db) I have first create simple report which can print label for certain article in number of times user wants to. That part of db is marked as OldLabels in db that I have attached bellow.

Now, I plan to update this code via form NewLabels so user could choose more than one article and for each article he can define 'TimesToRepeatRecord' number. Unfortunately, I am little confused how to achieve this.. This is the old code (from Report) which have done most of the work

Code:
Option Explicit
Dim intPrintCounter As Integer
Dim intNumberRepeats As Integer
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
intPrintCounter = 1
intNumberRepeats = Forms!VPDEKLARACIJE!TimesToRepeatRecord

[Code] .....

I have also attached db named "Demo" so you could see the issue. [URL] .....
