Hey gurus -
Access 2000 - I have a form with a series of box controls forming a map of
clickable areas, and I want each one to have a label. No problem, just put
'em on, right? But I also want the box/label combination to act as a single
item when clicked - that is, not have to put the same OnClick code on both
the box and the label (or force the user to click on the background only).
I've tried attaching the label to the box (by cutting the label then
highlighting the box and pasting it) to try to make the text clickable, like
checkboxes and option buttons work, but they don't stick together.
I can't make the boxes into command buttons, because I need to set the
bgcolor of each one to show its status. I suppose I could use cb's with
colored captions, but it's not as visually intuitive.
Ideas?

This is a trick that works in Access 97 and probably A2K also.
Highlight the label and cut it to the clipboard (Ctl-X). Then highlight the control and paste
(Ctl-V).
The label will come back and will be attached to the control that you highlighted.

Sorry for the wasted post, I overlooked the last sentence of your first paragraph. Apparently
rectangle controls don't know about labels...

Here is one possibilty to handle this sort of thing - this form has two
box/label combinations:
Private Sub HandleClick(str Box As String)
Select Case strBox
Case "One"
MsgBox "Do this!"
Case "Two"
MsgBox "Do that!"
Case Else
MsgBox "Do what?"
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub boxOne_Click()
HandleClick "One"
End Sub
Private Sub lblOne_Click()
HandleClick "One"
End Sub
Private Sub boxTwo_Click()
HandleClick "Two"
End Sub
Private Sub lblTwo_Click()
HandleClick "Two"
End Sub
Have a look at Stephen Lebans ( http://www.lebans.com) cmdbutton. As far as I
remember that allows coloured command buttons with labels

Hi Justin -
Yup, this is exactly what I'm doing now, just send the same call from both
the box and the label, then do the actual work in the called sub, after
deciding what was clicked. I was hoping to get this down to a single call
from each box, mostly to make it more generalizable for users who have a
different physical-metaphor map. But this isn't THAT bad - thanks for the
second opinion.

Hi,
When you create a combobox on a form, both a label and a combobox are
created. This label doesn't have the same properties as a label detached
from a combobox. For example, the property 'hyperlinkadres' is a property of
a label that doesn't belong to a combobox. But this property isn't a
property of the label belonging to a combobox.
Now here's my problem: I once deleted the labels being belonging to the
corresponding combobox....
