Listbox Sideways

S

Stephen Lynch

I want to populate a list box with 1 record but have the fields going
up/down instead of horizonally. For example:

Current listbox is as such:

Field1 Field2 Field3
Bla Blka Bla

I want it to be

Field1 Bla
Filed2 Bla
Filed3 Bla

My query is limited to 1 record. Just can't think straight this morning.

TIA

Don't know of a way to do that with a list box. Are you saying there's always
only one row, and you want the user to select one of the fields? If there's a
small number of fields, you could create a radio button group, with each
label in the group populated with the field name and the field value. If
you're not sure how many fields there will be, that's another story.

Young Skywalker, to do what must be done, a call back function you must use...

For example, the function below fills a list box with dates from today to 30
days back. The list box's Row Source Type is simply the function name. While
it seems complex, you're part is quite simple - load an array with the data
to be displayed, the call back function cycles through the array as needed
getting the next value and adding to the list box.

Public Function FillDateBox(ctlField As Control, varID As Variant, varRow As
Variant, varCol As Variant, varCode As Variant)

Dim i As Integer
Dim varRetval As Variant
Dim intRows As Integer
Dim intCols As Integer
Dim intMaxCallDate As Integer
Dim strLastDayofWeek As String
Dim intIgnoreError As Integer
Dim Response As Boolean
Dim ErrorMsg As String

Debug.Print ctlField.Name

Thanks, I try the code. I can always use a single record form, but I have
been getting tricky with changing the rowsource by select items in another
list box.

Thanks again.

If that's the case then just modify the bit that loads up the array to
reference the other control when you select the record. You'll then need to
add a statement in the other select box's _AfterUpdate event to requery the
sideway listbox.

He could also use a Union Query as the source for his list:

SELECT "Field1" as FieldName, [Field1] as FieldValue
FROM yourTable
UNION ALL
SELECT "Field2" as FieldName, [Field2] as FieldValue
FROM yourTable
UNION ALL
SELECT "Field3" as FieldName, [Field3] as FieldValue
FROM yourTable

Note: If some of the fields are text, and others are numeric, then you would
need to convert them all to text

True, but by looping through the fields returned by a recordSet object,
nothing else would have to be done if another field is added to the table or
needs to be returned in the recordset - other than changing the number of
rows for the list box. If the number of rows is being set by looking at
[RecordSet].fields.count, only the SQL for the record set would ever have to
be changed to add or delete a field.

If you use a UNION query, If there are numerous fields, the length of the
final query would be horrendous - toss in there performance issues since
Access would have to execute each individual query. Additional, there would
be no need to convert the values since they'd be retrieved and placed into
the array used by the call back function.

Call back functions are quite handy, case in point the one in my example
loads a list box with dates starting with today and going backwards for 31
days - something that can't be easily done with SQL.

For a large number of fields, what you recommend looks great. For a small
number, I think this method would work just fine.

Actually, for the list with dates, I use a specialize query I wrote a couple
of years ago. Works great with dates, sequential numbering schemes, or
anytime you have sequential values. I put tbl_Numbers and qry_Numbers in
almost every database I build.

1. First, create a table (tbl_Numbers) with a single field (int_Value).
Populate it with the values 0 through 9.

2. Create a query (qry_Numbers). You can expand this as needed, but you'll
get the idea:

SELECT Hundreds.int_Value * 100
+ Tens.int_Value * 10
+ Ones.int_Value as Int_Value
FROM tbl_Numbers as Hundreds,
tbl_Numbers as Tens,
tbl_Numbers as Ones

3. Now for your list with dates during the last 30 days, just do:

SELECT DateAdd("d", -int_Value, Date()) as SomeDate
FROM qry_Numbers
WHERE int_Value < 31

Using a Call Back function eliminates all of that additional work. If you've
never utilized one, I would recommend it as its a great learning opportunity.

Populate it with the values 0 through 9.

2. Create a query (qry_Numbers). You can expand this as needed, but you'll
get the idea:

SELECT Hundreds.int_Value * 100

+ Ones.int_Value as Int_Value
FROM tbl_Numbers as Hundreds,
tbl_Numbers as Tens,
tbl_Numbers as Ones

3. Now for your list with dates during the last 30 days, just do:

SELECT DateAdd("d", -int_Value, Date()) as SomeDate
FROM qry_Numbers
WHERE int_Value < 31

Don't know of a way to do that with a list box. Are you saying there's always
only one row, and you want the user to select one of the fields? If there's a
small number of fields, you could create a radio button group, with each
label in the group populated with the field name and the field value. If
you're not sure how many fields there will be, that's another story.

I want to populate a list box with 1 record but have the fields going
up/down instead of horizonally. For example:

Current listbox is as such:

It's a call back function because the parent process calls back to the
function for execution as required. You have little or no control over when
the function is called.

Looks like me and dch3 are alone in our use of this functionality. I like it
because I am old school and it gives me the greatest control over the
presentation of the data at runtime. I use this functionality in several of
the solutions on my site particulary when I am displaying the contents of a
recursive function or need to display the contents of a runtime generated
array of values.

But without a doubt Dale, the majority of Access developers would agree with
your opinion.

I've actually only used it twice - back in '98 and again a few months ago.
Both instances to load up dates. As a side note, the first scenario was
rather interesting as it used one comboBox to fill another. The first combo
box was populated with today's date going backwards 7 days. The second combo
box took whatever date was entered and then loaded up only the dates between
the first and today's prior to today. If a user selected the 7th date in the
first box, only that date was loaded in the second. If the user selected
yesterday date, the user was only given that date plus the past 5 days.

As to other possiblities, I do have several custom properties setup on a
project that I'm working on and have entertained the idea of using a Callback
Function to snoop the properties and then load them up in a list box for
presentation purposes only. I have entertained the idea of taking that one
step further and using that as the basis for updating the property as that
now has to be done via the immediate window. The list box would become a two
column box with the first column indicating if the named property can be
updated. The second column providing the property name. The row immediately
below it the current value.

Don't know of a way to do that with a list box. Are you saying
there's always
only one row, and you want the user to select one of the fields?
If there's a
small number of fields, you could create a radio button group,
with each
label in the group populated with the field name and the field
value. If
you're not sure how many fields there will be, that's another
story.

I want to populate a list box with 1 record but have the
fields going
up/down instead of horizonally. For example:

Current listbox is as such:

Field1 Field2 Field3
Bla Blka Bla

I want it to be

Field1 Bla
Filed2 Bla
Filed3 Bla
