Question

I know in the .Net framework you can map any controls events to a singular method, as if you wanted to map a column of buttons in a GridView to one method, you could.

In VBA i have since forgotten this information. Could someone help me out in how i can map a Forms’ Control(s) to one method in the Forms Code-Behind?

Current OnClick Events, to be consolidated

Private Sub btnSubmit_Click()
    CloseForm Me
End Sub

Private Sub btnCancel_Click()
    CloseForm Me
End Sub

There are at least two of these methods per form. On some there are 3 or 4 for various Events but they all have the same body, one line pointing to a global method.

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to do. You can set up the form so that it receives the click events and check the screen.active control or you can set the event line on the property sheet for each control to a function. Frequently, people who are not familiar with the ease of MS Access go a long way around, which is why it is useful to say what you wish to do, there is often an easier way and often a way that does not involve code at all.

On the click line of the property sheet for the control:

=Menu_Or_Exit([Name],"cmdClose")

of course you could pass Me as form, but I have found [Name] to be very useful in a number of ways.

An excerpt from the function:

        Case "cmdClose"
            DoCmd.Close acForm, FormName
            CheckMainMenu

You can keep a menu form, a menu subform, or just copy the button from form to form.
