I have created a multi selected list box functionality like in the attachment which has a unbound control with possible choice of list items and also a text box were the selected choices can be inserted into the text box.
What it does? I am able to select one or all the choices that is present in the selection and click Insert and the choices are inserted into the text box.
I used the following code provided by support.microsoft.com/kb/827423 and it works perfectly.
What it does not do? I want to also insert any free text in the text box
(other than the choices present in the unbound list box control).
The sample code in the above link:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim sTemp As String
Dim sValue As String
Dim sChar As String
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim iListItemsCount As Integer
sTemp = Nz(Me!mySelections.Value, " ")
iListItemsCount = 0
bFound = False
iCount = 0
Call clearListBox
For iCount = 1 To Len(sTemp) + 1
sChar = Mid(sTemp, iCount, 1)
If StrComp(sChar, ",") = 0 Or iCount = Len(sTemp) + 1 Then
bFound = False
Do
If StrComp(Trim(Me!NamesList.ItemData(iListItemsCount)), Trim(sValue)) = 0 Then
Me!NamesList.Selected(iListItemsCount) = True
bFound = True
End If
iListItemsCount = iListItemsCount + 1
Loop Until bFound = True Or iListItemsCount = Me!NamesList.ListCount
sValue = ""
Else
sValue = sValue & sChar
End If
Next iCount
End Sub
Private Sub clearListBox()
Dim iCount As Integer
For iCount = 0 To Me!NamesList.ListCount
Me!NamesList.Selected(iCount) = False
Next iCount
End Sub
Private Sub testmultiselect_Click()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim sTemp As String
Dim iCount As Integer
iCount = 0
If Me!NamesList.ItemsSelected.Count <> 0 Then
For Each oItem In Me!NamesList.ItemsSelected
If iCount = 0 Then
sTemp = sTemp & Me!NamesList.ItemData(oItem)
iCount = iCount + 1
Else
sTemp = sTemp & "," & Me!NamesList.ItemData(oItem)
iCount = iCount + 1
End If
Next oItem
Else
MsgBox "Nothing was selected from the list", vbInformation
Exit Sub 'Nothing was selected
End If
Me!mySelections.Value = sTemp
End Sub
Private Sub clrList_Click()
Call clearListBox
Me!mySelections.Value = Null
End Sub
Please let me know how to do it. I am very new to VBA and programming.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks,
