Visual Basic :: Retrieve Record On Button Press

Retrieve Database Record By Button Press
Hi all,

I have an MSAccess database and was wondering how I can access a specific record by clicking a command button. I have a few buttons in a control array and depending on the index I'd like it to retrieve a corresponding record in a table.

I'm not sure whether ADO or DOA access methods are best. I'd appreciate your help.
I can't find any code examples of what I want.

Many thanks

Simulating A Button Press On A Command Button
OK, here we go...

I have a command button that starts a database search. I have set an animation control to show a searchlight while the search is being performed, but want this to appear on the button.

The animation control has been placed over the button, but of course this stops the button being pressed. I have added in the 'click' procedure for the animation, a call to the 'click' procedure for the button, so it functions, but I want the button to look pressed for the duration of the mouse button press on the animation control.

Is there anybody who knows how?

Thanks in advance...

Button Press
Hi,

I've got two command buttons that I use to control the volume of my app.

At the moment the user presses the applicable button and the volume is adjusted either up or down.

I want to allow the user to keep the button pressed down and adjust the volume accordingly rather than having to repeatedly press the button.

Is there a way to do this?

Button Press To Variable
I want to have it to where I press a button say cmdA and have it placed into a string variable such as LETTERS. I also want to put more stuff into the string so that I can place all of that information into a random generator and in a label.

Example if ya don't understand:

cmdA gets clicked and the letter A is added to a string. a few more letters such as B and C are added from cmdB and cmdC being clicked. Another button, cmdDisplay, is pressed and the letters appear in a label called lblDisplay. cmdRandomGeneration is pressed and a random letter from the group is placed into a lbl.

I can create the generator and such, that's easy. I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to do what I said. Thanks for any help in advance!

Wait For A Button Press VB6
Hello,

I would like to apologize in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question, but after searching to no avail, I haven't the faintest Idea on how to accomplish this.

Basically, I'm trying to make a helper function, called Wait, that will not let any code proceed until the boolean variable "Ready" is true. This variable is changed by certain buttons being pressed with "Ready = True".

I tried a Do While loop that should have looped until Ready was true, but when I went to run the program, it locked up. I assume because it ended up being a never ending loop.

Next I looked on the internet and found some code that would sleep a program. I tried it, and added that to the loop in hopes of slowing it down, so it would check on the variable and then sleep for 1 second, and repeat. This also locked up, and seems like a bad way to handle this.

I hope that this description was clear, if not don't hesitate to ask for me to elaborate, and thanks in advance to anyone willing to spend a little time helping me out here, No Rush though.

Press Button On Webbrowser
Q1)
what i want to do is press a button, this is the code i tried:

WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).SEARCH.Submit = True

all i know is that the value of the button is 'SEARCH', i got the 'WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).' part from searching for
the solution. i think there is a problem with the '.Submit = True' part, this was simply a guess, what is the correct code?

Q2)
how do you have a string for a part of the code, e.g.
myvalue = value.text
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0). & myvalue & .value = "whatever"
why doesnt that work?

Q3)
is there an easy way to find values of text boxes/buttons on a website without copying the html?

thanks for all help.

Capture Print Button Press
Is there a way to capture when a user clicks the print button in Word via VBA? My program has a template created and if the users want to modify something, they want to be able to click the print button and have the file print at two separate printers (I can set the printers, which is no problem). I would have it print as soon as the user form closes, but that doesn't give the user the ability to print the modified version. Is it possible to capture an event outside of the VBA program? If I can get that, I can make do the rest. I've tried recording macros, but it only records the ActiveDocument.PrintOut function and doesn't recognize the button name or event. I've searched for related topics in the forms and on the web, but I'm coming up short (perhaps searching for the wrong topics...?) Any help would be much appreciated!

Loop Action Without Button Press
I have a simple form with three text values for different speeds ie 10mph 30mph and 50mph. Basically what I am trying to do is have a loop that will check these three values and perform some action say making a command box visible when all three conditions are met.

I have been able to get this to work by placing a bunch of if then statements on each button rasing or lowering the speed in the box {each button is programmed with text.1text= text1.text+5} to raise it by 5 mph but there should be a way that i can do this without having to use conditional statements on each button right?

Making A Button Remains On Press

How To Open App And Auto Press Button ?
Am i right in saying you need to find the handle(via the api spy) of the button you wanted pressed if you want to shell open some app then auto press a certain button on that app ?

Say i wanted to shell open disk defragger, then have the start button auto click for ex...

If so whats the next stage, well i think you need, FindWindow() and various other api calls.

Anybody have some simple source that does this ?

Untick Checkbox With Button Press
i have a checkbox that constantly needs to be toggled on and off during the use of an app.

what i would like to do is toggle the checkbox ticked/unticked by pressing a specific button on the keyboard (i was thinking maybe the caps lock, but any button would do)

then rather than having to click the checkbox with a mouse all the time the user could just keep pressing the button.

the thing is i'm not sure how to capture the press of a particular button.

any help would be really appreciated.

Modify Form On Button Press
Hi

I would like to change the appearance of the main form in my app depending on what button in the toolbar the user presses.
ie. if the user selects button "A" the form will display various frames relating to "A", if button "B" in toolbar is selected the form will display frames/text boxes relating to "B".

Is the only way to do this by piling frame on top of frame and make the relevant frame or object visible when the user selects the button?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

How To Remember The Button Is Press Three Times.
Hi VB pros,

What command should I use to remember when the a button is press three
times. I got 8 eight buttons on my form.
1. button : cmdpicture(0) 2. button:cmdpicture(1)
......8.button:cmdpicture(7)
Eight individual button has to remember their own button when is press
three times.
Thanks in advance.

Rif: How To Remember The Button Is Press Three Times.
Use 8 Variables ( i.e. Picture0Val, Picture1Val etc. ) increased by 1 eah
time reference button is pressed.

Variables must be reset to zero after the 3rd click called the event ( nt
indicated in your message ).

If you need to close vbp or form and keep variables values before closing
store values in a database with 8 fields named accordingly.

On reopening extract variables value from database.

Retrieve Record From MDB
I am trying to look up a record in a MDB file on a button press. I am trying to allow the user to enter the f_id number on the form and then allow them to press a button. On the button press it retrieves the record where f_id = id in the table and populates the rest of the fields so they can edit the record.

Ok I have the following fields on the form
f_id
f_customer
f_colour
f_length
f_width
f_height

the MCDB is called: test.cdb
the Table is called: tbl_taginfo

the fields in the table are as follows:

id (which = "f_id" on the form)
customer (which = "f_customer" on the form)
colour (which = "f_colour" on the form)
Height (which = "f_height" on the form)
Length (which = "f_length" on the form)
Width (which = "f_width" on the form)

I have no ideas here on how to do it and I have looked all over the net for examples with no results, can someone give me some idea on how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Canceling A Button Press Function In VBa (word)
Hi there, what I have is a pretty simple function. I want to prevent continuing through a userform if the content of a listbox is empty.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

If ListBox1.Text = "" Then falseclick

MsgBox "Are you sure? Selecting 'yes' will create the document", vbYesNo Or vbQuestion Or vbDefaultButton2

ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView

UserForm2.hide

End Sub

Falseclick is a simple msgbox:

Code:
Private Sub falseclick()

MsgBox "The List is empty. Either select [ADD] before finishing or No Items have been added"

End Sub

My only problem is that if falseclick is called, it shows the messagebox as required but then jumps back into CommandButton2_Click and continues by displaying the confirmation message box... this is what I wanted to prevent.

How do I return to the userform after falseclick?
