ListBox doesn't change focus with form navigation

How do you change what row is highlighted in a listbox (so that it
highlights the current record you are viewing in the form) when you
use the built-in navagation buttons (or any method other than the
listbox itself) to move between records in a form?

I have a data entry form (single form) with a list box that moves
the form to whatever record you click on in the list box. You can also
change the current record by the navagation buttons, and I want to
keep that feature available. (Both the list box row source and form
record source are set with the form OnOpen event to the forms
OpenArgs, chosen in a combo box on another form.)

When I change the current record by the navagation buttons, the
listbox still highlights the last record selected, not the current
one. This could lead to someone not realizing which record they are on
and editing or deleting the wrong record.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

In the Current event of the form set the value of the ListBox to agree with
the record.

Well, that was so simple I feel pretty silly now for asking.
Thanks for answering, Rick!

I have a form with about 25 fields. In the BeforeUpdate event of the form, I have code that sets the default value of each field to its current value. For a new record, I can put the focus in any field to start. If I edit that field and then click on the new record button in the navigation buttons, the form goes to a new record and each field has the default value of the previous record. If I put the focus in any field to start, edit that...

Hello, I have a Form with a ListBox in it. I'd like to be able to scroll the ListBox even when it's not in focus. ie. when i scroll the mousewheel when my focus is on the form, I'd like the ListBox to scroll. Now, there are two ways I would think would work. The first is if I can resend the MouseEventArgs to the ListBox but there does not seen to be a way to pass that event along. The second is if I could manually scroll the ListBox...

I am owner-drawing a listbox, in an attempt to create a nice list with some custom "fields" and text layout. Essentially it works, but I must be missing something big, conceptually, because I get all kinds of screen artifacts and weirdness. My general goal is: list item with a few areas for text, every other item shaded a light color for readability, font color changes with selection. The listbox is populated with custom structurs...

Hi, I have a form with a databound listbox and combobox. The listbox items are filtered based on the selection for the combobox. If I click on the listbox to select an item, I can no longer select the combobox or even exit the form. It's as if something won't let me take focus away from the listbox -- all I'm able to do is navigate within the listbox.. There is no error or exception thrown -- I just can't access anything outside of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
