In my application layout, I have a button in left and a panel (div) in right. I want to show the number of topics added by a particular user in the right panel. For this purpose, I have written a MQL query which is working fine.
I am just not able to figure out the way to fire the query on button click event and display its result in the right side panel.
I think you can use some sort of ajax for this purpose. In the left pane, there is a list of users with hyperlinks. On click of these hyperlinks, a different pane with the results should open in the right pane. You do not need to fire mql query directly, just call a function on hyperlink click with username passed in it and further call a mql query and show up the results.

I'm working on a DB in Microsoft Access 2016 and created a search form with multiple filters and then a Search button. It works perfectly fine, it shows the results in a query table that opens separately but I would like the results to be shown on the form page right below the button.
I tried:
creating a list box and setting the row source to my query
dragging the query itself on my form page to create a subquery and it only every data in the DB. The query is still functional, it opens in another tab and works, but the subform doesn't change at all
creating a combo box and displaying the results after pressing the button in the said combo box
adding another button in the subform to run the query but it has the same outcome: results displayed in a separate tab.
pic of what I want my form to do
I attached a pic, that's not my actual DB. Basically I want the box to display my results only after clicking the button.
Nothing has worked :( is there anything else I could try? I would gladly post my .accdb file if it's easier to understand what I mean.
Thank you!
In my DB i have a table called "PrintList" populated with a random number of records and a report called "ReportList", which is linked to "PrintList", that is used to print all the records of the table above.
EDIT: I would let the user to see a print preview in Access to check the list and then choose if print it or not, so i prefer to avoid using code to print.
Is it possible to handle the "ReportList" print event and delete all "PrintList" records after the report is printed? Right now I use a button to empty the list via SQL, but it will be more useful to empty it after printing it.
Report/section events like On Format or On Print are fired both for Print Preview and for actual printing. So the report doesn't know, and thus can't handle your requirement.
I'd use a form with buttons for Preview and Print, and delete the records when the form is closed (because you can't prevent the user from printing from the preview).
The whole requirement looks a bit strange, TBH.
Open your report in design mode.
If the properties pane on the right isnt visible, press F4 to make it visible.
In the properties pane, click on the Events tab.
Find the OnPrint event and click the little ellipses to the right of it to open a VBA window ready to accept your code for that event.
I'm trying to put a pair of command buttons onto a form to enable users to:
enter filter criteria, then
after they enter the criteria, apply the filter
The first is easy enough with "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFilterByForm"
The second would work with "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdApplyFilterSort", except that I can't figure out how to activate my command button "cmdApplyFilter". The code "Me.cmdApplyFilter.Enabled = True" throws a runtime error.
I've looked at a lot of discussions, and it seems the only way to do this is by clicking on the ribbon or quick access toolbar. Does anyone know how to activate a command button on the form while in filter by form mode?
I'm pretty sure that what you're trying to achieve is not possible. The 'filter by form' view of the form looks to be a copy of your original form with only the input controls enabled to allow you to enter your filter criteria. If you think about it, it wouldn't make sense to allow full functionality. If you could activate buttons in this mode then you would theoretically be able to perform all sorts of actions that aren't appropriate in this context: add records, delete records, navigate through the records etc.
I suspect that the only way you will be able to get the functionality you want without using the ribbon bar buttons (what's wrong with the ribbon bar?) is to hand-roll your own filter form. Design a new form having controls to accept filter criteria and buttons to cancel or apply the filter. Sounds like a lot of hard work though to replicate functionality that's already built into Access out of the box.
I am having a problem with a UI that I am building in a Google Spreadsheet. I will First explain a little about how it works and than I will get to the problem. The UI is fairly simple program that connects to a SQL database, it allows users to create new records, Query, search, and render reports. I have created all the panels (eg the intro page, the create record) in the GUI builder. As the user navigates through the UI I swap out a Grid with the new panel that i want the user to see. For example on the intro page there is a create button when the user clicks the button the gird where there intro panel was is replaced by the create record panel. I have created two ways for the user query/search for data. The first way is to select a number range on the intro panel and click the Query button. This will than query the last 10 or so records into a GUI built Panel that I will call MainForm. The second way is to "search" for a job. On the intro page there is a search button when the user clicks with button it goes to a new page; the grid is switched to the search panel. On the new page/panel the user can put in some parameters to search for. After the user clicks the search button the program should load the search results into the MainForm in the same way as when you Query from the intro page. I have taken the whole function apart line by line, so i am sure that the issue has to do with loading the panel/Component. What i mean by that is these few lines of code.
var Component = app.loadComponent("MainForm");
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel().setSize("770px", "900px").add(Component);
app.getElementById("contentGrid").setWidget(0,0, panel);
But why would it load in one case, but not in another? Also it is not the method of loading the Component, rather it is the returning the panel/ Component.
To Summarize, When I load the Component with the query function it works, but when i load the Component in the search function I get and error: Incompatible type passed in as a parameter. Also I load the MainForm Component in two other functions as and it works most of the time, but some times I get the same error.
I think your approach is not ideal, load component is not supposed to be called multiple times. It would be far more efficient to get all your panels in the same compnent and play with visibility of each panel to show / hide them on demand. Each panel should be inserted in a vertical panel so that the "new panel" slips to its place when the "old one" hides.
An example of this approach is shown in this post to simulate tabs and could easily be adapted to your needs.
btw, this method is also very fast and responsive since the full UI is ready from the very beginning ;-)
Developing small app to record a set of 6 readings for monitoring purposes in 31 rooms. App will have two main views, one view to show list of buttons for each room where readings will be taken, a second view where the values will be entered for a particular room and then posted to a spreadsheet.
The process in mind here is click on button for a particular room, enter the data, return to button view to choose another room to enter the data for that room and then back to button view screen.
Since the button view will seldom change do I have any options for caching this view so that I do not have to run a function to rebuild it each time. I have this function
function createTGSRoomListButtons(sh, aData){}
That takes the list of rooms and builds a panel of buttons for selecting the different rooms.
The question that I have can the above function be run once to cobble together the UI, cached and the later simply be 'recalled'?
TO that some end the view where the data will be entered can this be partially cached so that with each rendering a reference to a specific room can be made.
New to Google Apps Script so not really sure how to properly determine my answer.
You can have multiple panels in an UI and play with visibility to show one or another... no need to cache any content since they remain unchanged in the process.
If I understood your use case well, the panel with specific room info would be modified according to spreadsheet data so in this case you won't need to cache values since they would be "reconstructed" each time. The trick to show/hide panel has been shown in this post with clientHandlersand multiple panels in a unique vertical panel to ensure that the visible panel is always at the right place.
A very simple way would be build the UI for the first time and then hide/unhide the buttons' panel each time using the setVisible() method of the panel
