SENDKEYS 1

[vbmorton]

I am hoping someone can help me out here.. on my form, going left-right.. I have listbox,cbobox,and textfield. what i want to happen is.. allow the user to only get to the other fields if the click on a valid option from list box. if i use sendkeys "{^}+{+}+{HOME}" what happens is.. it highlights the listbox.. but the cursor ends up on cbobox, and it is also highlighted. ive tried using setfocus and setting tabindex = 0 but still cant get it to go back to listbox, have it highlighted and the focus on it. without going to the nextfield.. can anyone help me or show me a better way of this.

listbox, contains (blankline),2,4,7,8,9

Hi,

Could you have the combobox and textbox disabled and then enable them on click of the listbox??

i do have them disabled.. ohhh ok.. i have it figured out.. thanks for your help.. it made me think deeper.. what is happening is.. when the sendkeys goes back to listbox to highlight it.. it thinks its clicking the listbox.. thus moving over to next field(thats where im setting focus to next field) so ive added an ifnot = "" then move on.. else.. it will wait.

Thanks Harleyquinn.. got me back on yellowbrick road!

Sorry, don't know how to do it with sednkeys but this should work:

Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1)

Hope this helps

Temporary brain shutdown, that will work but put it on the GotFocus event of the textbox.

Doh!

i must be having some problems here..

i have

txtCompletebydate.SetFocus
txtCompletebydate.SelStart = 0
txtCompletebydate.SelLength = Len(txtCompletebydate.Text)

it still doesnt seem to highlight the field.???

 

[vbmorton]

ok..

I think i was trying to get to finicky there. im just going to use the

txt.setfocus
SendKeys "{HOME}+{END}"

and that should be good enough.

Thanks H

if you send HOME and then SHIFT-END that should select the whole thing.
