Modules & VBA :: Items In List Box Deselected When Clicked
Jul 8, 2014
I have added a list box to a form with Single Selection mode on. Its purpose is to improve the interface. It contains items that represent all records. Clicking on the list box causes the form to jump to another record.
The problem is following: if I click on the List Box, it clears the selection and nothing is highlighted but it jumps to correct record. When I use standard record selection buttons, it highlights the correct items.
I read the index of selected item from .ListIndex property because Selected() does not work in a Single Selection mode. However, this is read-only property and I cannot use this to highlight the item back from VBA. But when I use Selected() it is not working. I mean when I click again on the same item it's selected. It's weird. I attached a simple database file with this problem.
The second problem is, when using standard record selection buttons, access iterates through all records and then jump to empty one. That is not like a new record. I don't know which event to use to control this situation. I would like to deselect all items, let user enter the data and re-query the List Box with a new record.
I have managed to amend records based on the user selecting multiple items in a list box by using the following code.
Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset("Usage", dbOpenDynaset, dbAppendOnly) Set ctl = [Forms]![frmsearch]![lstSelector]
[Code].....
what I need to do now, is to loop(I think) through and amend all the records in a populate listbox, with no selections, similar to above, but without selection.
I have a multiselect listbox and two date fields (StartDate & EndDate) in an Access form.I am trying to add records to the Table through the form on a button click.I select multiple items from the list box and the date range between the start date and end date will be equal to the items selected from listbox.For each item selected from the list box I need to add a separate record with a date.So the first record will have List box item selected1 and the start date.Next record will have item 2 from list box and date as dateadd("d",startdate,1)And final record will have last item selected from the listbox and date as enddate.
Inside you can find one form with listbox (with multi selecting ability).
I use this code :
Dim strSQL As String Dim i As Variant With Me.se1 For Each i In .ItemsSelected SQL = "DELETE '*' FROM [t1] WHERE [id] = " & .ItemData(i) & " ;" CurrentDb.Execute (SQL) Next End With Me.se1.Requery
Result is this one : 1) If I delete only one item in list, it is ok. I can do it again and again and it is working fine.
BUT
2) If I delete more items in list at once, it is ok - but if I will try to do it again then there is an error because .ItemData(i) value is Null.
I want to use an array to store data from a list box into a variable. I want it to be able to store one value, or multiple values, depending on what is selected.
Main problem: this list box feeds off a table which has employee names and their e-mails. The list box itself only shows the names, and when I select what I want the array to store is their e-mails, not their names.
Code: Dim strNames As String Dim varItem As Variant Dim intCount As Integer For Each varItem In Me.lstNames.ItemsSelected intCount = intCount + 1 Select Case Len(strNames)
[Code] ....
That code successfully displays the item I selected, but only displays the name. I need to make it look in the table and get me column #2. I also want it to be able to select more than one item at a time.
I have a list box that allows multiple selections [Inventory]. I also have a combo box that has multiple selections [Shows].
Right now, user selects from list box and from a combo box and clicks a button. On button click, the items from the list box are associated with the PK from the combo and stored in a junction table. This allows me to quickly associate many inventory items to one show.
I realized that there I currently have no way to prevent duplicate Inventory+show records in the junction table besides having a composite key. This would be fine except no records get inserted into the junction table if there's a duplicate entry.
Ideally, I think that the user should select from the combo box [Shows]. This should narrow down what shows up in the list box [Inventory] in a way that Inventory items already associated with the show are not displayed.
If I have 10 Inventory items and Inventory items 1-5 are already associated with Show 1; after I select the combo box, the list box only displays Inventory items 6-10.
Here's the associated code
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Sub cmdAddRecords_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control
I have the code below and am trying to have a form allow Text Box to become visible based on selected items from a List box. Why I am getting the error listed?
Compile Error: Invalid Qualifier
Code: Private Sub specific_opt_Click() Dim users As Control Dim ctrler As String Dim xx As Long If Me.specific_opt = True Then GoTo 169
I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate() Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));" End Sub
I have an access project that I am working on and need to be able to select multiple items from a listbox and have the exact selections appear in a textbox on the same form. I have looked around and have not been able to find any code that works.
I'm designing a form which will display a lot of employee information in a tabular layout. Users need the option to update a lot of these controls, but I want them to do that on a separate form. I'm wondering if VBA can determine the position of a clicked button within the tabular layout.
Can I have some code which determines that, for example, the second button across on the 3rd row is clicked and read the corresponding label?
I was planning to have each button just call a function passing an argument, but since all these buttons will be labelled "update" it could get a bit confusing if I need to re-arrange the controls. So I wondered if what I describe above is possible, and which VBA functions I would need to look into if so?
I have two command buttons having two textboxes to populate. The way I am going to populate the text for both the textboxes is same but on separate clicks. Is there way to find which button (or control) is being clicked in runtime. I think I have done it a long back but not getting right now (I had a gap in my career). The keyword sounds like some 'Defaultcodecontrol' or something like that only.
i've got a data entry form. when i click the button add all the other buttons go grey, i am in mode "New" also i am able to add, edit, records in this state, when i press save i want the supplierID field to automatically populate itself with the next SupplierID record THAT IS EMPTY. So say that my last record was ID number 45 then when i click add on my form and go into "New" state the SupplierID field automatically populates itself with "46" btw this is all an unbound form,
I'm quite new to Acces (2010) . Currently, I'm working on a form in which certain fields are set to invisible. I'd like to toggle fields to visible based on the button clicked.
Example: Field 1: O No O Yes --> When No is clicked Field 2 (containing a date) becomes visible --> When Yes is clicked Field 3 and 4 (both yes/no fields) become visible
This is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
Hi just started working for a Company and I found they have tons of databases but no structure or standard, so I would like to build a tool that will go thrue a list of databases and get all the table names, the items and type. Is there functions in vba that can get me a list of the tables in the database and the get all the items in the database ?
I have a form where there are 2 list boxes: Part_List and acbPartList. acbPartList has multiselect enabled and what I want to do is be able to select multipler records in that list box and then press a button to add those selected records into the other list box. Here is my code for my button:
Private Sub addItemButton_Click() Dim varItem As Variant With Me.acbPartList_Existing For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected Me.Part_List.AddItem (varItem) Next End With Me.Part_List.Requery Me.Refresh End Sub
I'm not sure if passing varItem is correct, but regardless, it isn't working because Part_List is based off of a query, its not a value list.
I would like to be able to select multiple items from a dropdown list like we often see on web forms. The kind where you hold down the control key to select up to 5 items. Is this possible on an access form? If so, how would do we implement, and how is such data be stored?
I am using the following code in a textbox (CountryID) to show a country name (CoName) from a table (tblCountry). If the comboBox (cmbCoName) in current form (frmCountry) has no entry then CountryID remains blank, great. If I use the form to add a new entry then CountryID flashes because it does not recognize the entry. Can I use "or" to add another condition in the IIF statement so that it allows the "not in the combobox list" entry?
I also have a table that list the items and on that table the column ItemID is the key.I want to create a query that will list all items ordered on a PO# and how many have been received so far. With that I will calculate the outstanding qty. I want to see:
Can some one tell me why, on the attached database example, I can select multiple items from list boxes "TipoCliente" and "FaixaEt" through "frmClientes" form but they are not passed forward to table "tblClientes" ?
Try to onpen attached database example and use form "fmrClientes" and select multiple items at "TipoCliente" and "FaixaEt" list boxes by entering them with mouse click and Ctrl key pressed . Select also single item from "NivEns" Combobox and write anything on "Nome" and "Apelido" fields .
Go to the table "tblClientes" and you can see text fields "Nome" and "Apelido" and also the item "NivEns" from Combobox "NivEns" are all there but not the items you selected from "TipoCliente" and "FaixaEt" list boxes .
I am trying to find out if there is a way to track the order in which items are selected from a list. I am a dabbler and any keyword searches that I can think of don't bring up what I am looking. So, here is what I am trying to do:
I have a table of symptoms with 3 fields (ID, Category, and Symptom).I have a combo box that will allows the user to pick a category (using select Distinct on category field). I then have a list box populated with all the symptoms that have a category of whatever the user selected. The problem I am having is that I need to somehow track the order in which the user selects symptoms and then save that order for future reference and to be printed on a report. The order is important because the most severe symptom needs to be listed first.
I have a list box on an unbound main form, which contains a rowsource consisting of files in a certain folder. The listbox is unbound
when I change an item in a subform, the listbox should update to show different items from the same folder.
Now it is updating correctly, so the rowsource appears to be correct, , but then the listbox behaves strangely - with the first item being sort of permanently selected - or at any rate - strange selection behaviour
out of interest, changed it to a combo box and it works correctly. so there must be some difference between the two?
After investigation, it might be this : [URL] ....
The appearance is similar to what is described in the thread.
although I have played with the strings to get them shorter without getting it work correctly. very strange
if I run the code to update the listbox from the subform, either directly, or by running as sub IN the main form, it produces this strange behaviour. If I run exactly the same code directly IN the main form, it seems to work properly.
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
