Be the Master of Your Controls

Danny Lesandrini

After the tables are set, it's all about controls. Labels, text boxes, subforms and a cornicopia of others are at your disposal. Danny Lesandrini will show you how to bring them to heel using VBA code. Some of the techniques covered include:

  • Change the font, backcolor and style of a text box
  • Show and hide controls dynamically
  • Load label captions based on table-driven values
  • Resize subforms when parent form resizes

Virtually all control properties (with a few exceptions) can be set from your VBA code. See how to make your forms more flexible and extensible. Pick up tips on constructing a more user-friendly interface. Learn how to become the Master of Your Controls.
