TakeFocusOnClick Property Example

The following example uses the TakeFocusOnClick property to control whether a CommandButton receives the focus when the user clicks on it. The user clicks a control other than CommandButton1 and then clicks CommandButton1. If TakeFocusOnClick is True, CommandButton1 receives the focus after it is clicked. The user can change the value of TakeFocusOnClick by clicking the ToggleButton.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

• A CommandButton named CommandButton1.
• A ToggleButton named ToggleButton1.
• One or two other controls, such as an OptionButton or ListBox.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() MsgBox "Watch CommandButton1 to see if it " _ & "takes the focus." End Sub Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click() If ToggleButton1 = True Then CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = True ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick On" Else CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = False ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick Off" End If End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() CommandButton1.Caption = "Show Message" ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick On" ToggleButton1.Value = True ToggleButton1.Width = 90 End Sub
