I was looking through some Access templates, and bumped into the Task Database.
It uses a grid inside a form, but I can't understand what component it's using:
When I look in Design View I can only see a list of fields:
I guess this is pretty basic and sure it's covered in MSDN, but it seems I'm unable to find proper search keywords.
It's a Format Property of the Form.
In the Property Sheet, the property Default View must be set on Split Form.
You can choose whether the datasheet is on top or below the form by changing the property Split Form Orientation.
You can adjust the splitter to view the datasheet only and then hide the splitter handle by changing to No the property Split Form Splitter.

I have an input type number inside an Ionic v4 alert, the problem is that I can't set step property since It's not recognised, is there any workaround or solution?
If you have advanced alert needs you might consider making a modal form instead.
The alert doesn't have many configuration options.
I don't see the value in trying to recreate a full modal tutorial here. This seems to cover it quite well.
But the high level overview is that instead of using an alert you create what is basically a new page, but it is loaded in on top of the existing page and you can pass data in and out of it.
If you create a form on a table that has 1-M relationship with another table, MS-Access creates the form containing the fields of the "1" side as text boxe, etc. and for the M-Side, a tabular structure is created.
What is the name of the control representing the tabular structure? (it is some kind of a list but it is not like the list you select from the tool box!). This control does not have a click event. Why? It only has ON ENTER and ON LEAVE events, so how to capture the current row?
It is a form within the main form AKA sub-form. Although it appears to be a grid-view (Access call it datasheet view), it isn't. Therefore it does not have row based events. However, the sub-form has all the events like a normal form would.
There are few limitations in this "dataSheetView", no other controls are visible except text boxes. If you need a button, you must have a textbox with click events. Ideally place the textbox as first/last column so you have your action buttons.
Access also has a "ContinuousFormView" which can be decorated like a gridview with all custom controls. Again, they are forms and do not have row based events. Only control based or form based.
The object next to the question mark is a Subform/Subreport Container Control. As its name implies, it is a container that holds other objects which can be a table, query, form, or report. This control is also available for selection from the 'toolbox'.
Best to give the container control a name different from the object it holds, like ctrDocuments.
What do you mean by 'capture' the current row? A row is not referenced, fields and controls are referenced. Several ways to approach referencing fields and controls (if a form or report) of the dependent object. How depends on where you want to run the code. In a query? In the main form events? In the subform events? For example code in Click event of a button on the main form could be like:
strDoc = Me.ctrDocuments.DocPK
I know how to design a Continuous Form in Access VBA 2010 with adding a number of Text Boxes and setting the Form Default View as Continuous Form and then setting the Form's Record Source to a Query. So the data would be shown in a Grid Format perfectly. However, I want to add these Text Boxes dynamically, means the query that's going to be bound to that form would have variable number of columns everytime depending on the selection in filters. So, how can I do that?
I don't want to set the Table or a query directly as the source of that form as I won't have the freedom of conditional formatting also.
The easy method is to create the maximum number of textboxes to be displayed, then hide those that you do not wish to display for the current filter.
This is an ongoing problem, and I'm hoping there is just a property that I'm missing.
Scenario: I have a form that contains subforms. The Default View property for the subforms is set to Datasheet. (The main form is set to Single Form). Due to changes in what I'm tracking, I want to include another field that wasn't part of the original record source. So, I changed the record source (a query) and added the field to the subform. The new field is added to the end of the Datasheet view by default.
Here is the problem - when I drag the column to a new location on the subform (in Form view or Layout view), it does not stay put. I have made the change using Form view and Layout view, and I've changed the Tab Index property for the field to the proper number. The new position never stays on the first, or second, sometimes third and fourth try. I have tried saving in Form view, Layout view and Design view, but I always have to drag the column back to the new position and try to save again . This goes on until Access actually saves the change. drag, save, didn't take; drag, save, didn't take; drag...
What I'd like to know is this - how do I rearrange columns on a form that is set to "Datasheet" for the Default View property, and make it stick the first time?
Thanks for any suggestions - I must be missing something....
This is a known "limitation" of datasheets. Some want the columns fit or preset, other sticky, some either as selected by the user.
To control the order of the columns, adjust the ColumnOrder property of the displayed controls.
I have tried searching for this but I do not know the name of the control or UI so I am not having any luck. I'd like to know if there is a name for this UI and if you know of a good link to sample html that would be ideal.
It will be used inside of a jQuery UI dialog box as well as on a standard page within a web app.
Thanks!
You need to use a two-sided multi-select list...
The jQuery two-sided multi-select list converts a normal drop down list into the mock-up you've posted and automatically moves selected items over to the right-hand list as well as adding buttons for movement (plus you can double-click items to move them back and forth).
