Create a Custom Dynamic MsgBox in Microsoft Access Using VBA. Part 1: Dialog Forms

Показать описание

In this Microsoft Access tutorial series, we focus on creating a custom message box using VBA, enhancing the standard MsgBox function. We start by building a form similar to a MsgBox, adding key features such as OK and Cancel buttons, modality, and dialog options. The tutorial includes steps for positioning this custom MsgBox relative to the Access application window, which is particularly useful for multi-monitor setups. We also cover advanced aspects like determining the Access window's dimensions dynamically, managing multiple parameters with OpenArgs, and customizing button captions. Additionally, you'll learn how to modify form aesthetics, including background color and font styles, and how to add icons. The tutorial also introduces unique features like custom beep sequences and dialog resizing. Overall, this tutorial combines practical demonstrations with essential theoretical concepts to provide a solid understanding of creating custom message boxes in Microsoft Access.

In Part 1, we will set up our MyMsgBox Form, and add OK and Cancel buttons. We will learn how to open a form in acDialog mode so that code execution STOPS until the user closes that form. Once the user clicks a button, we will save the user's choice to a memory variable, return that value to a calling function, and have that function return the value to the user's VBA code. We'll then learn how to move the form to the upper-left corner of the Access window because in a multi-monitor setup, the window tends to appear on the primary display. This fixes that problem.

To center the form when it pops up, you can simply set its "Auto Center" property to Yes in the form property sheet.

Hi sir; is it possible to change the titles for all of your message boxes in access at once?

Rick have you used custom events? For me, it's a far more elegant way of returning a value from a form.
