popup textbox

[teiben]

I have a form with a limited amount of space, is there anyway to have a textbox when it gets focus, get larger, so the user can keep typing, like some sort of textbox. has anyone done anything like this?

You can possibly resize the textbox on got focus and lost focus... You'd have to experiment with it though.

something like:

public sub txt_GotFocus()
    txt.width=300
    txt.height=30
end sub

public sub txt_LostFocus()
    txt.width=30
    txt.height=10
end sub

You could just put the following code on the double click event on the textbox.


So that when the user double clicks on it it becomes bigger and allows them to enter their text. The afterwards it shrinks again.



DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
