I made a userform with 10 * 4 spaces for pictures("set11", "set12", ...). At the beginning they are empty. When I click on one of the pictures they should be reset by a random picture(function getRandomPath).
The sub "clicked" works if I use a Button(start) to click. If I click a picture nothing happens. When I now click again on the Button(start), the before clicked pictures don't change no more.
Here is the relevant code:
Private Sub set11_Click()
Call clicked("1", "1") '*doesn't work*
End Sub
Private Sub set12_Click()
Call clicked("1", "2") '*doesn't work*
End Sub
Private Sub set13_Click()
Call clicked("1", "3") '*doesn't work*
End Sub
Private Sub set14_Click()
Call clicked("1", "4") '*doesn't work*
End Sub
Private Sub clicked(row As String, column As String)
Controls("set" & row & column).Picture = LoadPicture(getRandomPfad())
End Sub
Private Sub start_Click()
Call clearpictures
set11.Picture = LoadPicture(getRandomPfad()) '*works*
Controls("set12").Picture = LoadPicture(getRandomPfad()) '*works*
Call clicked("1", "3") '*works*
End Sub
Private Function getRandomPfad()
Dim random As Integer
random = Int(6 * Rnd + 1)
Select Case random
Case Is = 1
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Green.jpg"
Case Is = 2
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Blue.jpg"
Case Is = 3
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Yellow.jpg"
Case Is = 4
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Pink.jpg"
Case Is = 5
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Orange.jpg"
Case Is = 6
getRandomPfad = "U:\MMpic\Red.jpg"
End Select
End Function
I hope you can help me.
Your code must exist inside the userform. If the code is within a Module, it will not work.
Also, ensure you have named the image controls to match the names given in your code: "set11"
I found the solution, I should have repainted:
Private Sub clicked(row As String, column As String)
Controls("set" & row & column).Picture = LoadPicture(getRandomPfad())
Repaint
End Sub
But thank you for your help!

in my project there are two forms:
first form i named it frmSettings , i will use text boxes to save values in INI file.
second form i named it frmSelectFolder , i had included with DirListBox and 2 Command buttons
as shown in attached image above in Settings form i have 8 text boxes and 8 command buttons to browse for folder path that it will be selected from frmSelectFolder
how to use frmSelectFolder for all text boxes without duplicating this form per each command button to return DirlistBox Control value ?
Here is some sample code for secondary frmSelectFolder form
Option Explicit
Private m_bConfirm As Boolean
Public Function Init(sPath As String) As Boolean
Dir1.Path = sPath
Show vbModal
If m_bConfirm Then
sPath = Dir1.Path
'--- success
Init = True
End If
Unload Me
End Function
Private Sub cmdOk_Click()
If LenB(Dir1.Path) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select a path!", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
m_bConfirm = True
Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
If UnloadMode <> vbFormCode Then
Cancel = 1
Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Here is how to call Init method above from primary frmSettings
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdStartupPath_Click()
Dim sPath As String
Dim oFrmSelector As New frmSelectFolder
sPath = txtStartupPath.Text
If oFrmSelector.Init(sPath) Then
txtStartupPath.Text = sPath
txtStartupPath.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdDownloadPath_Click()
Dim sPath As String
Dim oFrmSelector As New frmSelectFolder
sPath = txtDownloadPath.Text
If oFrmSelector.Init(sPath) Then
txtDownloadPath.Text = sPath
txtDownloadPath.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Here is a link to a complete sample project for you to research: SelectFolder.zip
I'm trying to make a voting system in visual basic 6.0 using Combo Box and Command Button.
The thing I would like to happen is when the user choose the name in the combobox and click the command button which renamed as "Submit" the number of votes will be counted and print into the Label.
So far, i only had this.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "Jeff"
Combo1.AddItem "Gerwen"
End Sub
I guess it should be like this:
Public jeff_counter as Integer
Public gerwen_counter as Integer
Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "Jeff"
Combo1.AddItem "Gerwen"
jeff_counter = 0
gerwen_counter = 0
End Sub
Private Sub Command3_Click()
if Combo1.text == "Jeff" then
jeff_counter = jeff_counter + 1
else
gerwen_counter = gerwen_counter + 1
end if
Label1.text = jeff_counter
Label2.text = gerwen_counter
End Sub
You can improve it, by using array of integer, It's been a long time since I used VB6, so maybe there is a typo..
I have created a dialer in VB6 to dial a phone number. It has the following buttons: the digits 0-9, backspace, "Call", and "Disconnect". Now I want enter numbers in the form using the keypad part of the keyboard. In the text box, any key can be typed in using the keypad. But I only want the number pad to operate.
For that I checked ASCII values using the KeyPress event - seeing if the pressed key value lies in between 47 and 58. But along with the key values its ASCII values are also getting displayed in the text box.
One more thing - I have one MS Flex Grid on the form along with the dialer. So when the cursor is on the form, or if the mouse is clicked anywhere other than the text box, values don't display in the text box. So how do I always keep focus on the text box?
Dim val As Integer
Private Sub append(val As Integer)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & val
End Sub
Private Sub Backspace_Click()
With Text1
'FOCUS TO THE TEXTBOX
.SetFocus
'PUT THE CURSOR AT THE END OF THE TEXT
.SelStart = Len(.Text)
'SEND THE KEY
SendKeys ("{BACKSPACE}")
'AND THATS IT :D
End With
End Sub
Private Sub key_0_Click()
val = 0
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_1_Click()
val = 1
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_2_Click()
val = 2
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_3_Click()
val = 3
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_4_Click()
val = 4
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_5_Click()
val = 5
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_6_Click()
val = 6
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_7_Click()
val = 7
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_8_Click()
val = 8
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_9_Click()
val = 9
append val
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If (KeyAscii > 47 And KeyAscii < 58) Then
val = KeyAscii
append val
Else
KeyAscii = 0
' Text1.Text = KeyAscii
End If
End Sub
'Private Sub Text1_LostFocus()
' Text1.SetFocus
'End Sub
You could set the KeyPreview property on the form to true.
When you have done that, put your code in the KeyPress of the form that was in the KeyPress of the Textbox, and set the text value of the textbox, or better still move the code into a function and set it from there, that way you won't need to duplicate your code if you need it in other places.
Have a look at this and see if it helps it is the KeyPreview from MSDN
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. To use the KeyPreview for the form give this a try:
Double click on the form in the project to open it
In the properties for the form find the KeyPreview Property and set it to true
Double click on the form to bring up the code window
Select the keypress event for the form, and add the following code, or something similar.
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Chr$(NrOnly(KeyAscii))
End Sub
Use the function NrOnly that Hqrls has posted as that will allow only numbers which could help you with the validation. You won't need any code in the Text1_KeyPress, the form will now handle that for you.
Give it a try and let me know if you need any other information and I'll see what I can do.
[EDIT 29/05/2014]
Hi,
I've had a bit of a play around with the code and added some bits in which I think might help. Have a look at this and see if it make sense. If you copy it into your code then make sure you back up your original code just in case you need to get back to it.
This is the code if you keep your textbox
Option Explicit
Dim val As String
Dim m_blnTextHasFocus As Boolean 'Added this, so it knows wether the the textbox
'has the focus or not
'it is so the sendkeys doesn't get stuck in a
'loop with the key presses
Private Sub append(strIn As String)
'Changed the parameter from an int to a string, so we can use it in the key press events
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strIn
End Sub
Private Sub Backspace_Click()
'Moved the code into it's own sub
DeleteAChar
End Sub
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
'Handle a key press if the textbox doesn't have the focus but ignore the keypress if it does
If Not m_blnTextHasFocus Then
If IsNumeric(Chr$(KeyAscii)) Then
append Chr$(KeyAscii)
ElseIf KeyAscii = vbKeyBack Then
DeleteAChar
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub key_0_Click()
val = "0"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_1_Click()
val = "1"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_2_Click()
val = "2"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_3_Click()
val = "3"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_4_Click()
val = "4"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_5_Click()
val = "5"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_6_Click()
val = "6"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_7_Click()
val = "7"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_8_Click()
val = "8"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub key_9_Click()
val = "9"
append val
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
m_blnTextHasFocus = True
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
'Check the keyascii value and ignore it if it isn't numeric or backspace
If Not IsNumeric(Chr$(KeyAscii)) And KeyAscii <> vbKeyBack Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub
Private Sub DeleteAChar()
With Text1
'FOCUS TO THE TEXTBOX
.SetFocus
'PUT THE CURSOR AT THE END OF THE TEXT
.SelStart = Len(.Text)
'SEND THE KEY
SendKeys ("{BACKSPACE}")
'AND THATS IT :D
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_LostFocus()
m_blnTextHasFocus = False
End Sub
If you don't need to keep the textbox then you could replace it with a label and have a try with that. It would remove the need to keep track of if the textbox has got the focus or not. Have a go with this and see if it helps any. The only other thing is to make sure KeyPreview is turned on for the form or the keypress code will only work for the form if it has the focus.
Is the textbox the only control you want to have the focus ?
In that case you can use the following code:
Private Sub Text1_LostFocus()
Text1.SetFocus
End Sub
If there are any other controls you want to be able to have the focus as well, then you can use Text1.SetFocus in the _GotFocus() event of the controls which you do not want to have the focus
Another possible solution would be to use the _KeyPress() event of the other controls as well, and convert your current Text1_KeyPress() event to a general function which can be called by the _KeyPress() event of the other controls .. make sure though that you send the output of this general function to the correct textbox
If you post the relevant parts of your code we might be able to give a more specific answer
[EDIT]
for the answer to your original question, go with the answer of lardymonkey using keypreview on the form
an example function for allowed only numeric keys and the backspace:
Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
KeyAscii = NrOnly(KeyAscii)
End Sub
Private Function NrOnly(intAscii As Integer) As Integer
Dim intReturn As Integer
intReturn = intAscii
Select Case intAscii
Case vbKeyBack
Case vbKey0 To vbKey9
Case Else
intReturn = 0
End Select
NrOnly = intReturn
End Function
I am creating a excel sheet that would autocomplete a text based on the text present in a particular column. After trying to make one myself unsuccessfully, I was looking online for sample codes that I could modify and incorporate in my program. (and not plagiarize)
I downloaded Workbook1.xls from http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144438
The code is
Option Explicit
Dim ufEventsDisabled As Boolean
Dim autoCompleteEnabled As Boolean
Dim oRange As Range
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
If ufEventsDisabled Then Exit Sub
If autoCompleteEnabled Then Call myAutoComplete(TextBox1)
End Sub
Sub myAutoComplete(aTextBox As MSForms.TextBox)
Dim RestOfCompletion As String
On Error GoTo Halt
With aTextBox
If .SelStart + .SelLength = Len(.Text) Then
RestOfCompletion = Mid(oRange.Cells(1, 1).AutoComplete(.Text), Len(.Text) + 1)
ufEventsDisabled = True
.Text = .Text & RestOfCompletion
.SelStart = Len(.Text) - Len(RestOfCompletion)
.SelLength = Len(RestOfCompletion)
End If
End With
Halt:
ufEventsDisabled = False
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_AfterUpdate()
Dim strCompleted As String
With TextBox1
strCompleted = oRange.AutoComplete(.Text)
If LCase(strCompleted) = LCase(.Text) Then
ufEventsDisabled = True
.Text = strCompleted
ufEventsDisabled = False
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
Set oRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("f4")
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
autoCompleteEnabled = KeyCode <> vbKeyBack
autoCompleteEnabled = ((vbKey0 <= KeyCode) And (KeyCode <= vbKeyZ))
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
If you'd notice the line RestOfCompletion = Mid(oRange.Cells(1, 1).AutoComplete(.Text), Len(.Text) + 1), I was wondering what AutoComplete is doing here. Its not a in built function and is not defined anywhere. Still the code runs fine. I am very curious.
Thanks
The .AutoComplete is a function of the Range object - it is based on passing the text to a range that exists elsewhere on the sheet.
You can see the documentation on this function here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb209667(v=office.12).aspx
The myAutoComplete function handles the finding of the autocomplete data against the range if it exists, and the other pieces in the code are for highlighting the correct piece of text.
I am doing a project in vb6..i want to know how to keeping changing the background image of the MDI for as soon as it is loaded.
i tried to make an array of images and then set the timer
here is my code
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
For i = 0 To 2
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(arr(i))
i = i + 1
If i = 3 Then
i = 0
End If
Next i
End Sub
Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
arr(0) = "images\Shop.jpg"
arr(1) = "images\Display1.jpg"
arr(2) = "images\Display2.jpg"
end sub
please help
thank you
Couple of issues with your code as written. First, you don't need to use a picturebox, the MDI form should have a Picture property you can set directly.
Second, as written you're cycling through all the images in your array each time the timer event fires. What you really want is one change per timer event and store/increment the array index at the end of each timer event, like so:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
MDIForm.Picture = LoadPicture(arr(arrIndex))
If arrIndex + 1 <= UBound(arr) Then
arrIndex = arrIndex + 1
Else
arrIndex = 0
End If
End Sub
Dim arrIndex as Integer
Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
arr(0) = "images\Shop.jpg"
arr(1) = "images\Display1.jpg"
arr(2) = "images\Display2.jpg"
arrIndex = 0
end sub
The Dim of arrIndex should be at the top of your MDIForm. This will change the background picture every time the timer event fires.
