Command Buttons

Option Buttons And Command Buttons On A Different Form
Hi all!

my problem is, im making a quiz setter/taker.

i have 1 form to set the questions and 1 form to take the test.

on the set form, i have 5 text boxes, 1 for the question and 4 for 4 possible answers. next to the 4 text boxes i have an option button to select for which the correct answer is.

then i press the save button and go to the test form.

there i have 1 text box and 4 command buttons. the 4 answers appear in the command buttons to click. which ever button is clicked, the button changes yellow to indicate the buttons has been selected.

then i press a submit button to reveal the correct answer.

what i want to do it make the option i selected, if the command button chosen is wrong or right then it will change either red or green.

this will be a small peice of code probably but ive been trying all night and cant figure it out

Command Buttons
Listed below is the code for a form I created. The name of the form is frmSampType. The form has one label and four buttons described below.

The label text is “Choose type of sample”

The button names and captions are as follows:
cmdCancel, Cancel
cmdCalibrator, Calibrator
cmdControl, Control
cmdStandard, Standard

When I come to an appropriate point in the main macro I have a statement, Call SampForm, which simply calls the subroutine that shows the form on the screen (frmSampType.Show). The button selected will then determine future actions that occur in the main macro.

Ideally, I would have liked for certain values to be carried along to the main macro, such as the value of Q and the value of Cal when the Calibrator button is chosen, for example. Unfortunately, I’ve discovered that these values are lost after leaving the button-selected subroutine. Is there a way to carry these over?

Originally, I thought I could just select the appropriate button, then go to the main macro and then set values of Q and/or Cal there based on the caption property of the button I chose. That is, if the Calibrator button is chosen then I want the value of Q set to 3 and the value of Cal set to the input value. These values are then used later in the main macro. Couldn’t figure out appropriate code.

Any suggestions?



Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
______________________________

Private Sub cmdCalibrator_Click()
Dim Q As Integer
Dim Cal As String
Q = 3
frmSampType.Hide
Cal = InputBox("Enter Calibrator Concentration", "Calibrator Concentration", "47", 3500, 3000)
End Sub
________________________________

Private Sub cmdControl_Click()
Dim Q As Integer
Q = 5
frmSampType.Hide
End Sub
_________________________________

Private Sub cmdStandard_Click()
Dim Q As Integer
Q = 5
frmSampType.Hide
End Sub

Command Bar/Buttons
I am creating an instance of excel from within a VB program, in excel I disable the "worksheet menu bar" and create my own command bar with exit button on using the following code. When I do this it creates an error message saying cannot find "toolbars" macro. I want it to call a procedure in VB called "toolbars" not a macro.

Dim cbarScorecard As CommandBar
Dim cbtnExit As CommandBarButton

Set cbarScorecard = CommandBars.Add ("ScorecardMonitoringToolbar", msoBarTop)
cbarScorecard.Visible = True

With cbarScorecard
Set cbtnExit = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
cbtnExit.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
cbtnExit.Caption = "&Exit"
cbtnExit.FaceId = 41
cbtnExit.OnAction = "Toolbars"
cbtnExit.ToolTipText = "Return to menu"
End With

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks

Command Buttons =-.-'=
Hi, i've got a column of command buttons which change the picture on the buttons when you click on them (its has loops in so the user can easily see which tool they are using)

anyways while its in graphics style and flat mode when you run it its still 3D looking, do you know when you press the command buttons while its running (i'm talking about the 'down picture') is there anyway of keeping the 3D downess (i know its probably not even a word) on when the user depresses the mouse (mouse up)? i've tried to figure it out but couldn't,

and i don't think my explaination of the problem is making any sence.. anyone know what i'm talking about? (if not i'll get some screen shots)

Command Buttons
Does anybody know of a command button that will either manifest or already has the XP look. It would be useful if there was an option to revert to the W2K look as well.

I have tried the VB Smart .Net Button, but it does not look like XP.
I have tried the Chameleon button, but is does not support graphics.

Before anyone suggests the standard command button in common controls, it doesn't manifest when in graphical mode.

Any Ideas????

Regards

For Each.....Command Buttons
On a button click iam trying to disable every single command button on a form... but instead of typing out every single button name and a setting enabled to false i was hoping to use a for each loop

Dim cmd As CommandButton
For Each cmd In Me.Controls
cmd.Enabled = False
Next cmd

Dim cmd As Button
For Each cmd In Me.Controls
cmd.Enabled = False
Next cmd

but neither of them seem to work??

thanks

In Internet Explorer, if you put your cursor over the Back button or the stop button, refresh, home, etc buttons, you'll see that the buttons go from just a picture to a 3-d command button. Does anyone understand that? if so, how can you make command buttons do that in VB?

Command Buttons
I have a command button on my main form (used to exit the project). Occasionally you need to click on this button twice before it actually works. It seems to happen after I have loaded and unloaded another form. Its like it needs some sort of gotfocus event or something before it recognizes its been clicked on. I have also linked it to a function key through the menu, but you also have to press the function key twice before it works as well.

I am using Sheridan threeD buttons if that helps.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks
