Hi,
I have 2 forms, frmretailorders , and frmretailorderl ine.
in the oncurrent of the main form, I check what the value of !status is. If
it is "complete", then i disable all text and combo boxes. However, I also
want to disable all of the same on the sub form. I do not know how to
reference the sub form :s
Current code:
----------------------------------------------
dim obj As Control
If status = 2 Or 3 Then
For Each obj In Me.Controls
If obj.ControlType = acTextBox Or obj.ControlType = acComboBox And
obj.Name <> "changestat us" Then
obj.Enabled = False
End If
Next
For Each obj In <REFER TO SUB FORM HERE>
If obj.ControlType = acTextBox Or obj.ControlType = acComboBox And
obj.Name <> "changestat us" Then
obj.Enabled = False
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
----------------------------------------------
The first IF works, but i need to get the second one working :)
if you can help, thanks in advance.

Well, I managed to access the subform, but now, when I try and run it, the
loop hits the subform and says "You cannot disable a control while it has
the focus".
How can i work around this?

Why don't you simly disable the subform instead of disabling all the
controls in the subform? Assuming your subform name is
frmretailorderl ine in the mainform then
Me.frmretailord erline.Enabled = (Me.status <> 2 And Me.Status <> 3)
will disaable if the status is not 2 or 3.
You can also lock the fields instead of disabling. If you lock
something you have to be aware that tho data can't be changed, if you
have an OnClick or OnDblClick event set that can fire.

Ahh, great!
I ended up locking all of the fields, and changing the BG color, heh.
Thanks for the info, I will try it in a few.

Try this.
Create a temp form and drag a few text boxes on the form. Set the following
Enable Locked
True False
True True
False True
False False
Then open the form. The background changes depending on the enable/lock
status.
You could do something like this
blnEnable = True
Me.Text0.Enable = blnEnable
Me.Text0.Locked = Not blnEnable
So if you did want to cycle through a control list you can come up with
an effect that suits you and the users. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody

I have created two forms: frmBrowseNegsMainform and
frmBrowseNegsSubform. I put a subform control on the
first of these. The SourceObject property for the subform
control is, of course, frmBrowseNegsSubform.
I would like to perform an ascending or descending sort
on any of the 7 columns shown in datasheet view in the
subform control. I've been unsuccessful.
Is there something tricky about sorting in subform controls?

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
