Question

I have a UserForm with some textbox entry fields on it that are enabled/disabled by a checkbox. When a checkbox is clicked to check it, I’d like to move the focus into the now-enabled textbox.

The textbox is the next control after the checkbox in the tab order, so it seems like using the tab order to find the appropriate textbox would be a good idea.

But… how can I find the next control in the tab order after a given control? Is there a method to do that, or do I have to enumerate all the controls and figure it out for myself?

Answer 1

I appreciate that this comes under the heading of “enumerating all the controls” but it’s pretty simple and I attach the code for completeness:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
    Dim ctl As Control
    For Each ctl In Me.Controls
        If ctl.TabIndex = Me.ActiveControl.TabIndex + 1 Then
            ctl.SetFocus
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
End Sub
