MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / July 2005test for continuous mousedown event?
I have a button that moves a record one position when it is clicked. i would like to continue to advance records when the button is held down. what would be the best way to do this? thanks, craig buchanan I don't know of a standard Access event that will handle that. You will probably need to research a windows call, and associate that with a timer. Another option is to look into a mouse with a wheel. That may be used to skip through records quickly. > I have a button that moves a record one position when it is clicked. i > would like to continue to advance records when the button is held down.

As it's said there's probably nothing standard. Maybe you could do something like Button is pressed -> move one record -> set the form timer to 200. OnTimer-event should also move to next record (it'll then move after every 200 milliseconds). OnMouseUp should set timer to 0. This isn't tested, but maybe it'll give you an idea. Jesper, Denmark If you create your own custom Nav Buttons and place them on a SubForm then you can get the autorepeating functionality of the native Access Nav buttons. http://www.lebans.com/recnavbuttons.htm RecordNavigationButtons is an MDB containing code to replace the standard Navigation Buttons. The custom buttons exactly emulate the standard navigation bar including the autorepeat property. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit. > I have a button that moves a record one position when it is clicked. i > would like to continue to advance records when the button is held down.

You have to place the Nav CommandButton controls on a Subform to allow the Autorepeat prop to work. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit. > thanks for the responses. turns out there is an Auto Repeat property for > the button. once enabled, the button acted as expected.

I then add add it to each form I want to control. Incidentally, I have noticed a weird behavior--if you set focus to a command button that has the AutoRepeat property set to true, then the button appears to be recessed. Have you seen this?
