How can the label for a checkbox and the labels for the options in an option
group be addressed? When a checkbox gets the focus, Access draws a dotted
box around the label. When an option group gets the focus, Access draws a
dotted box around the label of the first option or the label of the option
previously selected. I would like to change the backcolor of these labels to
yellow as the controls get focus.
For textboxes and comboboxes I have a function with the following code:
Function HiLiteControl()
Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Backcolor = "8454143"
End Function
And I put the following in the GotFocus event of all the textboxes and
comboboxes:
=HiLiteControl( )
I would like to be able to do something similar for the label for a checkbox
and the labels for the options in an option group.
Thanks!

I'd pass the control name to your function on each control's OnFocus
event. If it's an option group or something just pass the label's name
instead of the control?
eg. (something like this....)
Private Function HiLiteControl(p MyControl as Control)
pMyControl.Back Color = "8454143"
End Function
Private Sub txtMyTextBox_On Focus()
HiLiteControl Me![txtMyTextBox]
End Sub
Their's probably a dozen ways of achieving this.
Also, how are you resetting the color when the control looses the focus?

With checkboxes you can use Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Controls( 0).
The attached label is a 'child' of the combobox.
With Option Groups it's not so easy because the active control is the
Frame the option buttons are contained by.
Using Screen.ActiveCo ntrol in the LostFocus event to reset the
background is a runtime error waiting to happen. Clicking outside
the current form is one way to increase the odds of throwing an error.
Take Br@dley's advice. Ditch Screen.ActiveCo ntrol and write a function
that takes a control as an argument.
I'll wave my fee.
Bradley,
Thanks for responding!
I'm looking for a way to do something like screen.ActiveLa bel so I can put
the same expression (=HiLiteLabel() ) in the GotFocus event code line for all
the checkboxes and option groups.
I use the same process in the LostFocus event to reset the color using
backcolor of 16777215.

< Using Screen.ActiveCo ntrol in the LostFocus event to reset the background

Why?
If I write a function that takes a control as an argument, I have to pass a
different control name at each call of the function. Is there a way to avoid
that. Screen.ActiveCo ntrol avoids that for textboxes and comboboxes and
that's why I use it. When I posted the question I was hoping to find
something like Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Label.

If you know what form all this is happening in, you should
use formobject.Acti veControl instead of the Screen object.
The Screen object covers too much territory.
I'm not convinced that I know where the focus is during the
LostFocus event, you may want to explore using the Exit
event instead.
The last item clicked on in an option group has the
OptionValue that matches the frame's Value.
Since label controls can not receive the focus, there is no
such thing as an active label. This means that the only
thing that knows an unattached label was clicked on is the
label's Click event procedure.
Clicking on an attached label moves the focus to the control
the label is attached to, so the label never gets involved.
As rkc said, you can get to the attached label using the
ActiveControl's Controls collection. All the control in an
option group are in the frame's Controls collection.
