I have a table/query in Access and some cells are empty.
If I open the Anime combo box there are 3 more empty cells because of the other cells like English Series, Japanese Series and Movie.
Is there any way to hide the empty cells from the combo box and only show anime? (and the same for the other combo boxes.)
Right click the Combo Box and on the bottom press Properties.
At the Data tab, in the Row Source (which is the second one).
There I have added the following string at the end:
WHERE Anime <> "";
Now it says:
SELECT CollectionQuery.[Anime] FROM CollectionQuery WHERE Anime <> "";
Making it ignore all that is empty and only show fields in the combo box with value.

I am new in ADF and my requirement is that when I run the page containing the drop down list input box initially it should be yellow colour with blank input box and after clicking on drop down list then list comes in white background colour. After select any value from list again it display the yellow background input box with selected value.
You will need to use an ADF Skin (ex: https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_learn_adf_skinning).
You will need to define several StyleClasses for each of your cases and apply that style class when needed.
this.customerTableAdapter.Fill(this.customer_Info_DataSet.Customer);
this.termsTableAdapter.Fill(this.terms_DataSet.Terms);
Customer_name is the display member of customer_Info_DataSet in the customer combo box and terms is the display member of the terms_DataSet in the terms combo box. once the terms is set to the customer and saved to the data table it will not display on the form when the customer is displayed again. how do I set this so that the terms combo box doesn't just show blank but show the term that is set for the customer?
I discovered that I had not properly bound the table to the form. this means that the choices would show in the control but they weren't available when the text box was saved. it was actually empty in the table that was to actually save the info.
I have a very simple table with about 10 columns. I have set up a search form with all unbound fields and a couple of combo boxes that reference the table on 2 columns, one for each combo box. I have been using this for these two types of criteria in my query:
1) Like "*" & [Forms]![Contract Search]![ContractName] & "*"
2) Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Contract Search]![Amount]),"*",[Forms]![Contract Search]![Amount])
Basically i have the first one setup to match anything in the text box and if left blank return all. The second one I have setup to match exact or if null return all. I want to use the second criteria logic for the combo boxes.
This works fine for the text boxes and check boxes but when I use the same format for the combo box it doesn't display anything on the query.
Combo Box Criteria I am using:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Contract Search]![Project]),"*",[Forms]![Contract Search]![Project])
even a simple criteria:[Forms]![Contract Search]![Project] does not work with the combobox.. if i convert it to a text box it works..
The values show up fine in the combo box in the search form, but they dont seem to pass the selection to the query. I dont understand what I am doing wrong. These are all unbound controls. I am using Microsoft Access 2010.
I am using GWT/GXT. i am using Editable Grid. it has 3 columns. if user navigates from first column to other column using TAB then the text in the column should be selected as below(cell with blue background only for text not for entire cell) so that i can easily delete the text of the cell using Delete or backspace buttons with out selecting the text again. here my question is how to simulate mouse text selection?
Thanks!
final TextField<String> text = new TextField<String>();
text.setSelectOnFocus(true);
column.setEditor(new CellEditor(text));
configs.add(column); //ColumnConfig
is it possible to change a combo box to text box using vba?
As an addition to the suggestion about hiding the text box I have seen people use a text box to cover all but the dropdown arrow of the combo box (text box set to be on top of course) and then updated the text box on the after update event of the combo box
I forget why they did it that way in the end but it worked and IMHO is better than hiding the combo box as you might have issues with it still having focus
As far as I know there are two methods. If the form is in design mode then running;
Application.RunCommand acCmdChangeToTextBox
while the combobox is in focus will make it turn into a textbox.
However you cannot do this at runtime. Say you want to show a textbox after selecting a value from the combobox, on the Change event of the combobox you just hide it and show a textbox that was previously hidden. Use the visible property of the combobox and the textbox for this.
