Command buttons

[sandrao]

How can have the Command buttons change effects on mouse move. I can get them
to be flat and on mouse move become "Raised" format but then dont return to
flat after mouse leave button?

Private Sub Detail_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single,
Y As Single)
'Place code here for what you want to happen when mouse moves off of button

End Sub

Thanks for your response. I did go to the site and copy the code, however it
did not work. I kept getting a error message saying 'wrong use of "Me" also
the code is for changing fonts. What I wish to achieve is to have the
"specialeffects" change on mouse move. Similiar to what you would see on
Microsoft Outlook. When your mouse moves onto the "in Box' it moves from
flat to raised.

Do you have any other suggestions.

Post the code that you use to do the above things.

choose On mouse event: = fremovefontbold()

Luan. If you read his original post, what he's trying to do has nothing to do
with making text bold!

Right click on form/Detail:
choose On mouse event: = fremovefontbold()

ok, my suggestion is changing commandbutton to label or textbox
then OnClick Event make some code as commandbutton do.
Because a command always is raised status.

Well something is not working.

Here is the code I placed in the mousemove event of the 'label' in question:
Me.label.SpecialEffect = 1
Then placed this code in the 'Detail' mousemove event
Me.label1.SpecialEffect = 5

It should work. But it doesn't always return to 'flat'. is there some way
to force the event to comply after the mouse is off of the label.

I have never found using MouseMove for stuff like that to be reliable. If the
mouse is moved too quickly it simply doesn't work.

If mousemove is not that reliable what else can be done to create the effect
I want

I have no idea why you want to change the special effect of a command button in
the first place. A button is raised when you are not pressing it and depressed
when you are. What is wrong with leaving this perfectly logical behavior
exactly as it is?

 

[sandrao]

It is not a command button that is being used it is a label....

I guess I was thrown off by the subject "Command Buttons". I would worry less
about achieving a certain "effect" and just use command buttons. Access does
not have the proper MouseOver and MouseOff events for such things like some
other environments do.

OK it has been a while since I have done this . . . . I actually used it to
change the color of the text on my command buttons. I modified it for what
you are looking for. I tried it and it works great . . . . . here it is

I created a new module and placed this function in it . . . .
'******************************************************
Function buttonForeColor(formName As String, btnName As String)

Dim C As Control, colorOn As Integer, colorOff As Integer

For Each C In Forms(formName)

colorOn = 128
colorOff = 13056

If TypeOf C Is Label Then
If C.Caption = "" Then 'Only look at buttons with text
GoTo myEnd
Else
If C.Name = btnName Then
With C
.ForeColor = colorOn
.SpecialEffect = 1
End With
Else
With C
.ForeColor = colorOff
.SpecialEffect = 0
End With
End If
End If
myEnd:
End If
Next C

End Function
'********************************************************

Then on the form on the labels On Mouse Move I put this code on the Event
Prodedure . . .

'********************************************************
Private Sub lblTest_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As
Single, Y As Single)
Call buttonForeColor("frm_main", "lblTest")
End Sub
'********************************************************
