MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2008Setfocus on textbox
Dear all, I want to set the focus in the one textbox even if I press <enter> or <tab> key until I use the mouse to point to another textbox. How can I do ? Thank you Jason. Why would you hit the Tab key? Tabs don't work in Access controls... To stay in the same textbox when hitting Enter, set the EnterKeyBehavior property for the text box.

Unless you've set tab stop to No for every control on your form, the Tab key will cycle through the controls (move focus to the next control in the tab order); it may even move to the next record, depending on the Cycle property setting for the form itself. I think the OP needs to put code into the KeyDown event for the control in question, and do nothing if the key code is either 9 (tab key) or 13 (enter key). It's not something I've ever done, so I don't know exactly what is needed to cancel the key's action (the KeyDown event doesn't have a Cancel parameter), but it shouldn't be too hard.

I was reading it as he wanted to be able to insert tabs into the text. Jason: Set the KeyPreview property of the form to True, and add code like the following to the KeyPress event of your textbox: Private Sub Text0_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode Case 9, 13 KeyCode = 0 Case Else End Select End Sub (replace Text0 with the actual name of your text box) Note that the above means that the Enter key will be ignored. If you want the Enter key to put a carriage return/line feed into your text, remove the ", 13" from the code above, and set the EnterKeyBehavior property as I previously suggested. Sorry for the confusion. SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) > Hi Doug, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>> >>> Jason. |
