Hi ,
How can i add in Acces VBA Editor Controls to a specific form ,
like CommandButton , Label or TextBox , and not in a design view?

Paula.

Hi Pauls,

1. Open the form you want to add the control to (Form2) in design view and hide it.
2. Add a new control using the CreateControl method.
3. Toggle the form to normal view.

Also, to position the new control you are working in twips (1" * 1440), not inches.

==Code============================================ =======

' Form1 code module
Private Sub Command1_Click()

    ' used to convert inches to twips
    Const twipsPerInch As Long = 1440

    ' Open form you want to add control to
    ' in design view and hide it.
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", acDesign, , , , acHidden

    ' Add new control
    With CreateControl( _
             FormName:="Form2", _
             ControlType:=acTextBox, _
             Section:=acDetail, _
             Left:=1 * twipsPerInch, _
             Top:=1 * twipsPerInch, _
             Height:=0.25 * twipsPerInch, _
             Width:=1 * twipsPerInch)

             ' set control properties
             .Name = "txtTextBox"
    End With

    ' toggle form to Normal view
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"
End Sub

HTH,

Bob

Thanks ,
it really worked .
But how do i remove the message that asks me whether i want to save changes (i don't want to save changes)?

Not sure you can. Check out the DeleteControl command in VBA help. Maybe deleting the control before closing the form will prevent the form from attempting to save design changes. Don't know.

CreateControl is really designed for use with custom Builders and Add-ins where you would want to save design changes.

Maybe this will work , but the form has only the 'Close' event and not 'Closing' (or at least i didn't find it) , So with the close event it doesn't work (and it's logically , because 'closed' evend is performed after the 'closing' event and you can't change anything in there) .

I solved the last problem with the event 'Unload' .
But there's another issue about the original topic :
I tried to use the code inside Form_Load event , because that in that specific form i had some defined controls , but when the form loads i want also to add dynamicly controls - THIS DOESN'T WORK.
The exception is that adding or removing controls availble only in design view . Which changes do i need to do that it will work?

Try using the OnActivate or OnOpen event. Bottom line is the Form has to be open in design view to add the control. What code did you add to the Unload event to cancel the save?

Bob

I tried to write in these 2 events , but it threw exception .
I aslo tried other events like 'Render' but it didn't do anything , and this events don't occure .
about not saving , the command is the following:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "testTbl", acSaveNo

How are you opening the form? Is it a startup form that would enable you to place the code in an AutoExec macro perhaps.

I need to open the form manually only .
