Hello,
this is what I'm trying to achieve and I don't know how:
Based on a recordset (let's say entries in a table), I would like to create a graphical user interface, that shows a box/textbox/commandbuttom (actually an appropriate) at a certain position in the form for each record. The position of the box on the form is determined by data in the record. I wand to move the box around the form and with the new position update the data within the record (Think of something similar as the appointment-boxes in an Outlook-Agenda).
Now, I can generate one box manually, and with the Mouse-Down/Mouse-Move/Mouse-Up events do exactly that for one particular box. I could also imagine, creating a box for every record and do this to those boxes.
However, the problem is that every single box needs to have the exact same event-code associated to it, and that doesn't seem practical. all the more that i would have to create those boxes dynamically (depending on the number of records in recordset).
So here is the question:
Is there any possibility to sort of create an "array" of graphical objects, which all react similarly to events, but have the information stored individually.
Many thanks
Jan
