Question about controls on a form.

Hi,

I can access the tabindex of the active control,
test = frmCadre.ActiveControl.TabIndex

But I need to access what's written in lets say tabindex(4).

The idea is to fill a title box with what's in a form, only if I scroll
through all controls, well it's all the controls!

Thanks.

 

I am not sure what you are trying to do, would you give more info. why don't you use the control name? I wonder if you could get any where with that approach.

 

Nothing's written there because it's not a text property. It indicates
the sequence in which control will receive the focus when the user
presses the TAB key.

This may be what you want to do.

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
Dim objControl As Control
Dim intTabIndex As Integer
For Each objControl In UserForm1.Controls
intTabIndex = objControl.TabIndex
If intTabIndex = 4 Then
'do stuff here
End If
Next objControl
End Sub

Well I must be missing something here.

When I go through all the controls on the form and stop (Debug) when
tabindex and get the name of the control, it doesn't give my the correct
name, it looks as if it is the first control I've put on the form when
creating it, not the Tabindex property!

 

I want to create a title box on paperspace, The form would be filled with
attributs on an existing block in the drawing.

If the block don't exists I create it with stuff written on the form (That
part is allready working!)

And if the user changes the form, then the attributs would reflect the
changes.

Thanks.

don't you use the control name? I wonder if you could get any where with
that approach.

 

How are the controls added to the form? Did you add them to the form
yourself (manually), or are they created by code? If you created them
yourself, I don't think you should need to use their TabIndex to access
them. I don't want you to rewrite your whole program if it is almost
working, but it seems "dangerous" to base your logic for filling the form on
the order that the TAB key cycles through your controls.

It seems like the part you are having trouble with is when you try to fill
your form from the titleblock. Can you post your code for this part of the
program? Also, I added a line to Nathan's code (below) to show the names
and tabindexes of the controls.
