Toggle Password

Yes, I saw that from your video, but I was just curious, as no matter how many people tell a member that something should be done this way ( in this case, use a button, not an image control), someone is going to want to do it their way, with an image control.

Yup. This one has a really straightforward workaround, so it's not so traumatic as a some are.

The thing about image controls is they don’t have got focus or lost focus events - so the focus remains where it was. If that was a text box it may be certain things can’t be done whilst it has the focus.

on the other hand a click event on an image control can reference the text box text property if that was the previous control with the focus - never found a use for that.

haven’t checked but later versions of access may have got and lost focus events available to image controls.

other controls without the focus events include rectangles, lines, tabs and labels (bound or unbound)
