Change ComboBox Text When Item Selected
I though this would be easy, I have a ComboBox style set to 0, and the list is populated from a dB. What I want to do is have the default Text change to the selected item when the list reloads. Here is the code;
Code:' Populate the Type list
    cboEntryType.Clear
    If Len(sqlQuery) > 2 Then
        cboEntryType.Text = sqlQuery
    Else
        cboEntryType.Text = " All"
    End If
    
    For i = 0 To m_TypeRows

    str9 = " " & m_varTypes(0, i) & " " ' Entry Types
        cboEntryType.AddItem str9
    Next
sqlQuery is a parameter sent to another function that returns the ListItems, if I set a watch on the var sqlQuery it does indeed have a valid value, but when the box is displayed the Text is " " with focus on the box.

Populate ListBox Based On Item Selected In Combobox
Hi!

I really need a help in this. Here is my scenario:

1. I have an ms access database which has 2 different tables: Custom and Clinet.

2. I have a CustomID field in both Custom and Clinet data tables.

3. I have also a form Which has a combox and listbox. The combobox is populated from the Custom data table and the Listbox is populated from the Clinet data tables.

My problem is how can I filter the listbox based on the selected item in combobox. Or I would like the listbox shows only the datas that has the same CustomID as in the CustomID I selected in combobox.

Thanks a lot for any help or some code.

(? Help) Change Listbox Selected Text Without .additem Or .remove Item
Hi, I browsed through posts and didnt see this question elsewhere so I hope I didnt miss it if it was answered already. If so im sorry.

I was wondering if there is anyway to change the selected text entry for a list box without adding or removing an item.

Example: If there were these options in a list box:

A
B
C

and "B" had been selected by the user is there anyway to change "B" to "D" without using the .additem or the .remove command? If you need me to restate or clarify what im asking please let me know and Ill repost as soon as I see it. Thanks for any help I get in advance.


- Sidenote: I would use a loop and simply add them into another list box and back into that one in a different in the correct order but theres some sticky and touchy coding done on the list box's _click statement that really wouldnt make such a loop possible....if this sidenote didnt make sense sorry its 5 am .

How To Know If A Combobox Item Has Been Selected??
I'm using a Style 2 (DropDown List) control array of
combo boxes.
When I select a combobox I need to know if items
have been selected from the other comboboxes.

For example: Say I have two comboboxes. I select
an item from the first. Then I got to the second.
On the Got_Focus event of the second, I need to
test to see if something has been selected from
the first - in this case Yes.

I tried:
If cmbItem(1).text = "" Then
flag = FALSE
Else
flag = TRUE
End If

This doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Populate A Listbox Based On A Selected Item In Another Listbox
Ok...I am stumped.

I have a single form that has 3 list boxes. I have 4 public strings containing various values. Based on the selection from lstBox1, I need to populate the ListBox2 and ListBox3 list from values in the public strings. Clear as mud?? That is what I thought!

Example string variable

strLuxury = """Hand Wash"" ""Hand Wax"" ""Check Engine Fluids"" ""Detail Engine Compartment"" ""Detail Under Carriage"" ""Fragrance"" ""Shampoo Carpets"" ""Shampoo Upholstery"" ""Scotchgard"""

ListBox1 contains the following:

Standard
Deluxe
Executive
Luxury

ListBox2 is empty, but is contained in a frame indicating Exterior Options
ListBox3 is empty, but is contained in a frame indicating Interior Options

If Luxury is selected in ListBox1, then ListBox2 should contain
Hand Wash
Hand Wax
Check Engine Fluids
Detail Engine Compartment
Detain Under Carriage

And ListBox3 should contain
Fragrance
Shampoo Carpets
Shampoo Upholstery
Scotchgard

If Fragrance is present in ListBox3, a seperate dropdown box should appear allowing selection of the appropriate scent.

Yes, this is a homework assingment.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Always Have Last Item In Listbox Selected
How can I make it so the last item in a listbox be selected, even after new items are added. For instance, lets say I had four items in a listbox like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four

At this point I'd want "I'm four" to be selected and if I added another item like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four
I'm five

Then at this point I would want "I'm five" to be selected. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Scroll To Selected Item In Listbox
Hi guys,

I'm in Access. I have a form with a listbox and a combobox with the same values. The user selects the value in combobox, clicks the button, and the same item gets selected in the listbox. The problem is that the listbox doesn't scroll to the selected item automatically. Here is my code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.Selected(i) = True
End If
Next i

This code selects an item in the listbox every time I press the button leaving previously selected items selected too.

I've been looking for solution suitable for me and found this code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.setFocus
Me.storeNumber.ListIndex = i
End If
Next i

It does scroll to the selected item. However, every time I click the button it clears previously selected item and selects the new one that I selected in combobox. And I don't need that clearing. Any ideas on how to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

Selected Listbox Item Into A Second Funcion.
I looked everywhere and didn't find an clues to solve my problem. One of wksheets as all my items listed alphabetically. Column A all the a's, B all the b's, etc. I have a userform with a listbox that displays one of my columns based on which letter the user chooses (from my main userform). Each column has a different number of entries, so each respective listbox has a different number of lines in it.

On the same userform (with the listbox) I have a command button that runs a search and display function based on what item is selected in the listbox.
Basically this funcion searches for whatever item name is selected in the list box (the actual text).

I cannot figure out how to get my selected listbox line to display its text in my second function

If C.Value Like "item name" Then.....

So I need the text from the listbox item, to display as item name in my second function

Any help is awesome. Thanks in advance.

Showing A Selected Item In A Listbox
I've got a textbox which the user can input text. I also have a list of already existing items. Doing the search for the item, isn't a problem. However, I wish to select the item, and then make sure it is in the visible portion of the list box.
Actually, getting the item selected isn't a problem. It's getting the selected item into the visible portion of the listbox that is giving me problems. Anyone have any ideas?

Removing A Selected Item From Listbox
I'm not familiar with using the For statement but I gave it a try.

Next

This didn't work. It gave me an error on lstsFiles.RemoveItem (i). I assume I have it wrong. I removed that line of code, ran it and it froze VB. Now I've gotta restart my program.

Deleting A Selected Item From A Listbox
Hi there,
I`ve just joined this forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me?

I`ve made a listbox, populated with data from a table in access, with the column heading test.

I want to be able to select an item from the listbox, click on a button and then delete the item from the listbox and database. I have managed to do this, however the item deleted from the database is the first item and not the selected.

Any ideas?

Heres my code....


Private Sub CommandButtonDelete_Click()

Dim vConnection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim vRecordSetTest As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim vConnectionState As Integer

Set vRecordSetTest = New ADODB.Recordset

vConnection.ConnectionString = "data source=G:FilingLabel.mdb;" & _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"

vConnection.Open

vRecordSetTest.Open "TableTest", vConnection, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

vRecordSetTest.Delete
ListBox1.RemoveItem ListBox1.ListIndex

End Sub
