I am not familiar to OpenOffice Basic, but I need a simple macro code for setting document variables (user defined fields accessable under "field commands"/"Variables" in GUI) that I can assign to a button.
Example: I create a button A calling macro sub SetDocVar on a click, while SetDocVar sets the document variable/field MyField to string value "Test".
How does it work?
This is how it works:
Sub SetDocVar
tmp = ThisComponent.TextFields.createEnumeration
Do While tmp.hasMoreElements
tf = tmp.nextElement
if tf.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextField.User") And _
tf.TextFieldMaster.Name = "MyField" then
tf.TextFieldMaster.Content = "Test"
end if
Loop
ThisComponent.TextFields.refresh
End Sub

I'm so close to getting this code working, I just need a little push please. I would like to
take the name of a combo box and then add a string to the end, But then get the value of a textbox with that string. This is to create a dynamic function instead of pasting the same code over and over.
Here's what I have so far, after you select something in the dropdown, the data is then pulled to populate the boxes next to it. I have about 8 drop downs so far so that's why I need this to work.
'Combobox after update
Call GrabData(Me, Me.ActiveControl)
Then
Private Sub GrabData(ctl As Control)
'name of ctl/combobox is "Kitchen"
data1 = (ctl.Name & "Size") '"KitchenSize"
'Here is where it all goes wrong
data1.Value = size.value
'size.value is just a textbox for example
End Sub
I can debug this with:
msgbox(data1)
'outputs "KitchenSize"
But I cannot get the value of kitchensize's textbox with data1.value
Error:
Object Required
I have also added Dim As String / Dim As Control.
I will be assigning the variable to some other stuff in this 50 line code I wrote so please don't take the above example as exactly what I intend to do, I just need help appending the ctl.name to a string, then use that to reference another control and so on.
EDIT
For anyone who wants to know, I figured it out.
Dim Ctrl As Control
Dim CtrlName As String
CtrlName = ctl.Name & "Size"
Set Ctrl = Me.Controls(CtrlName)
Ctrl.Value = 'Wherever you want to send the values to
See the edit.
You need to dim it as a string, then use Set Ctrl
I am new to MS Access and I am trying to create a simple Macro with a call to VBA code.
the VBA code here is a sample (which also doesn't run)
Public Function RunImport()
Dim N As Integer
Dim Message1, Message2, Title, Default1, Default2, JulianSD, JulianED
Message1 = "Enter Julian Start Date"
Message2 = "Enter Julian End Date"
Title = "User Input Section"
Default1 = "17365"
Default2 = "17000"
JulianSD = InputBox(Message1, Title, Default1)
JulianED = InputBox(Message2, Title, Default2)
End Function
do you think you might be able to locate an issue here?
Thanks!
PS. I am using Version 14.0.7177.500 (32-bit). it wasn't my choice.. (if it were, I wouldn't be using access.. :p)
The most common use of a function is to return a value or values. Your function does not appear to be returning any value. At the end of a function you would normally have a line of code that says what value the function will return, for example....
RunImport = JulianSD - JulianED
End Function
A line like this would usually be inserted before the 'End Function' line. However if your intention is not to return a value, but instead you just want to run a vba macro, perhaps you need to change your function to a Sub routine...
Public Sub RunImport()
'code goes here
End Sub
I am creating a form in Access which will be used as an order sheet for classroom materials. I have the available resources listed and a text box next to the resource where the user inputs the quantity they desire.
My VBA code checks to see if any entries have been made by using the following. (I am using Nz() to allow for Null results):
QuantCheck = Nz(Box1.Value, 0) + Nz(Box2.Value, 0) + Nz(Box3.Value, 0)
Where "QuantCheck" is the variable I am using in the IF statement which begins the workflow:
If QuantCheck > 0 Then
I would like to clean this up by using some kind of loop statement, however I am not able to extract the .value from a string. I would love something like the following which I could incorporate into a loop:
"Box"&VariableNumber.Value
From what I can tell, I am not able to use a string (concatenated or otherwise) as the base for the .value call.
It is interesting that there is a way to accomplish this when using a SQL statement. I have this elsewhere in the code which works nicely:
SQLStr = "INSERT INTO OrderRequests VALUES (cbSchool, txtName, Title" & x & ".caption, Box" & x & ")"
Here I have a variable "x" which increases with each loop to change the Title line, and the Box line.
Any help is appreciated.
I suggest you use the Tag property of the controls. Put "QuantCheck" in the Tag property of any control you want to include. Then
Function QuantitiesExist(frm As Form) As Boolean
Dim Ctrl As Control
Const sQUANTCHK As String = "QuantCheck"
For Each Ctrl In frm.Controls
If Ctrl.Tag = sQUANTCHK Then
If Nz(Ctrl.Value) > 0 Then
QuantitiesExist = True
Exit For
End If
End If
Next Ctrl
End Function
Now you get self documenting code
If QuantitiesExist(Me) Then
And when you add/delete/change controls, you don't have to edit your code. Just set up new controls with the proper tags.
You could loop through the control on the for checking the names and then if it is the one you wanted take an action on it, is this what you was thinking of?
Dim Ctrl As Control
For Each Ctrl In Me.Controls
If Ctrl.Name = "TxtPath" Then ' "Box" & VariableNumber Then
MsgBox Ctrl.Value
End If
Next
I have a form that keeps track of assigned patient equipment. I have it set so that any changes made to text fields on the form automatically move down to the "comments" section of the form (this is done so that any changes made are documented in case the user forgets to manually document changes). I have a sub that I wrote that accomplishes this that I am currently calling for every single text field. This works but is messy.
Is there a way to apply the sub to all the fields in one procedure without calling it for every individual field? Code is below, please let me know if I can clarify anything.
Private Sub pPEMoveValue(sField)
'Moves the old field value down to the comments section automatically
Dim sOrigValue As String
Dim sCommentValue As String
sOrigValue = sField
sCommentValue = Nz(mPEComments, "")
Me.mPEComments = sCommentValue & vbNewLine & sOrigValue
End Sub
Private Sub sPEBatCharger_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
pPEMoveValue (Nz(Me.sPEBatCharger.OldValue, ""))
End Sub
This is the solution I came up with to do what you are looking to do. I took advantage of the MS Access Tag system. You can add tags to your controls so you can sort of "Group" them.
First put the form in design view and adjust the tag for all of the fields you want to record to say "Notes".
Then in the Form's BeforeUpdate even you would add this:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Call FindControlsForComments(Me.Form)
End Sub
Then you would use this function to find any fields that have the "Notes" tag and run it through the function you created:
Public Function FindControlsForComments(frm As Form)
Dim ctrl As Access.Control
For Each ctrl In frm
'If the control is tagged for notes
If ctrl.Tag = "Notes" Then
'If the old value is different than the current value
If Nz(ctrl.OldValue, "") <> Nz(ctrl.Value, "") Then
'Add to comment
Call pPEMoveValue(Nz(ctrl.Value, ""))
End If
End If
Next ctrl
End Function
You may have to adjusted this slightly to work with your system but this has worked well for me.
I'm maintaining an old-ish application written in VBA for Excel 2002 (XP)/2003, and am trying to internationalise it.
To do this, I read in the translated strings dynamically and update the various controls on my userform by updating their .Caption property.
This works as expected for all controls but not for the form itself -- when I change the form's .Caption property, then the title bar keeps displaying the "hard-coded" value, and the new value is instead displayed just below it, at the top of the "canvas" of the form itself.
Is it possible to change the title bar text of a UserForm after it has been shown, or do I have to change the .Caption property of the form before it is shown in order for it to be reflected in the title bar rather than in the canvas/client area?
My code looks something like this:
' in frmFoo
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
' ...
TranslateDialog Me, "frmFoo"
' ...
End Sub
' in a VBA module
Sub TranslateDialog(pForm As UserForm, pFormName As String)
Dim new Caption As String
Const notFound As String = "###!!##NOTFOUND##!!###"
' ...
' GetMessage() returns the translated message for a given key, or the
' default value (second parameter) if no translation is available.
' The translation key for the form caption is the form name itself.
newCaption = GetMessage(pFormName, notFound)
If newCaption <> notFound Then pForm.Caption = newCaption
' ...
End Sub
As I said, the assignment to pForm.Caption does have an effect - but it doesn't write to the title bar of the window, but rather directly beneath it. I'm running Excel 2003 on Windows XP SP 3.
Your frmFoo is not actually the same type as the base UserForm, rather it's internally "descended" from it in VBA's wierd OO implementation so you can't use that reliably as a parameter type, using Object instead will work;
Sub TranslateDialog(pForm As Object, pFormName As String)
