I've got a form that contains a toggle button. To set the state of the togglebutton I use the property 'ToggleState' (which can be true or false).
I want to set the toggle button via databinding. I've pulled some data from a database and placed this in a listbox.
When selecting a item from the listbox all the other fields are populated with the corresponding data.
The only thing that's not set correctly is the toggle button.
Here is the code I have used to set the buttonstate via databinding. The buttonstate does not work.
ToggleButton1.DataBindings.Add("ToggleState", table, "Goedgekeurd", True, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)
If I use the code below the buttonstate will set correctly.
ToggleButton1.ToggleState = 1
Can someone help me out what the difference is between the two?

I'm quite new to VBA and I've been looking around but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have made a navigation form (frmNavigation) with 3 buttons, each referring to a different form, let's call them frm1, frm2 and frm3. In the navigationform the control buttons to switch between tabs are all named differently (btn1, btn2, btn3), but the subform that shows either frm1, frm2, or frm3 has the same name: “NavigationSubform” (this shows a different form depending on which tab is clicked on, based on the 'navagation target name' referring to frm1, frm2 and frm3).
When I want to refer to a textbox (txtBox1) on form 1 (first tab) and insert a value i can do this by:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox1.Value = "insert awesome text"
But how would I refer to txtbox10 on the second tab (frm2)? Just using the following does not work:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox10.Value
You then get the error 2465 (can't find the field).
I’ve been trying many different things, but can’t seem to get it right. So how do I refer to a textbox on a different tab than the first one?
Help us much appreciated!
Only one subform can be loaded at once. So you've just got to break this process into two steps.
Store the value from txtBox1 somewhere outside of the NavigationSubforms (a textbox on the parent form with visible = no, a global variable or a table works).
In frm2's On Load event, set txtbox10 to be the value you stored.
Just note, that you will need to add conditions in the On Load event if you want to avoid that textbox being set to an empty string or a wrong value if you have a setup where your filter is changing.
On a continuous form I am attempting to toggle the caption of a toggle button to match the button’s state. In this case when the record/state is True, I would like the button to read “Current” and if the record is False have the button read “Obsolete”.
The script below works in switching between the two desired values but is switches all of the visible buttons and not for the individual records. I am not sure how to tie the individual records to the individual togglebutton's caption.
Private Sub Toggle5_Click()
If Me.Toggle5.Value = True Then
Me.Toggle5.Caption = "Current"
Else:
Me.Toggle5.Caption = "Obsolete"
End If
End Sub
I am using MS- Access 2013, I expect this question has been answer before, I have not found a working solution.
As Gustav wrote, you cannot do this directly. All static properties of controls in a continuous form always apply to all instances of that control.
Possible workaround:
Use a textbox (disabled & locked, perhaps with special effect = Raised) to show the text, with a control source like this:
= IIf([Status]=True, "Current", "Obsolete")
Put a transparent button on top of it, for easy clickability (it won't show a Click animation though).
Use Conditional formatting to set the background color of the textbox.
You can't.
An unbound control in a continuous form carries the same values and properties on all records.
I realise this question has been asked before and I have tried numerous suggestions, but I guess I am just too much of a novice when it comes to VBA coding.
Here is my scenario:
I have an Access 2007 "Application" with a few forms. On the main form, I have 2 text boxes. For simplicity let's call them textbox1 and textbox2.
textbox1 is used to enter a style code. a button on the main form then opens another in modal/dialog mode and runs a query with the style code as the where clasue. the modal popup gives me a list box which is populated from the database based on the query that was passed. I then need to select one of the products in the list and upon closing the popup, populate textbox2 with the brand (column2 in the list from the popup) number.
Please remember that I am a novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would put a button on the second form, and in the _Click() function, put something like this
If ListBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then
MsgBox "Nothing Selected!"
Exit Sub
End If
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.List(ListBox1.ListIndex)
Unload Me
Where ListBox1 is the list box containing the content you need the user to select from, where UserForm1 is the name of the calling form, and TextBox1 is the name.
Explanation
The ListIndex property of the list box returns the index of the selected list item. If nothing is selected, it returns a -1.
To reference an item on one from from another, you reference the form, the object and the property.
In The example I gave, the form is UserForm1, the object is TextBox1 and the Property is Text. While typing, intellisense should auto complete the object and properties once you type the period.
I would like to know if it is possible to open a combo box and see it's elements listed from another object on the form. I do not like the 'down arrow' on the combo box and would like to create something more 'stylish' if it is possible. I am wondering if there is a routine one could write and put on another object so that upon the 'on click' event, the user will see all the elements listed within the combo box and have the opportunity to select one of them.
For that you can use the Dropdown method of Combobox object.
Example:
Dim cmb1 As ComboBox: Set cmb1 = Me.Combo1
cmb1.SetFocus ' necessary
cmb1.Dropdown
Note: The control needs to have focus so you have to set it programmatically first.
I have a database created in access 2000. A form with a subform (datasheet - defaultview) in it. I have added a label at end of the coloumns in subform and given hyperlink to open the object present in database itself. But when the form open nothing is visible after the coloumn ? I got four coloumns and had hide two columns via onload event of subform. the code is below
Me.SubGroupname.ColumnHidden = True
Me.GroupName.ColumnHidden = True
Me.BNFno.ColumnHidden = False
Me.BNFno.ColumnWidth = -2
Me.SubGroupName1.ColumnWidth = -2
How can I make it visible so that it will appear as a link at each row ?
Please help me.
If I understand you properly, you cannot use Datasheet view to display a control at the end of a row. Switch to Continuous Forms view, it will give you more control, but you will have to work a little harder to get a nice layout.
Alternatively, add a click event to one of the existing columns.
