The following steps demonstrate how to fill a list
box or combo box with database object names:
| 1. | Open the sample database Northwind.mdb. |
| 2. | Create a new form in Design view. |
| 3. | Add a list box control, and then set the following
properties:
Listbox
-------------------------
Name: listObjects
RowSourceType: Value List
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: .7"; 1.5"
|
| 4. | Add the following code to the form's OnLoad event:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim accObject As Access.AccessObject
'Fill with Tables
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllTables
Me.listObjects.AddItem "TABLE;" & accObject.Name
Next
'If currently opened file is an Access database (mdb), then fill
'with queries.
'Otherwise, if it is an Access project (adp), fill with views,
'stored procedures, database diagrams, and functions.
If CurrentProject.ProjectType = acMDB Then
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllQueries
Me.listObjects.AddItem "QUERY;" & accObject.Name
Next
Else
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllViews
Me.listObjects.AddItem "VIEW;" & accObject.Name
Next
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllStoredProcedures
Me.listObjects.AddItem "PROCEDURE;" & accObject.Name
Next
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllDatabaseDiagrams
Me.listObjects.AddItem "DIAGRAM;" & accObject.Name
Next
For Each accObject In CurrentData.AllFunctions
Me.listObjects.AddItem "FUNCTION;" & accObject.Name
Next
End If
'Fill list with forms.
For Each accObject In CurrentProject.AllForms
Me.listObjects.AddItem "FORM;" & accObject.Name
Next
'Fill list with reports.
For Each accObject In CurrentProject.AllReports
Me.listObjects.AddItem "REPORT;" & accObject.Name
Next
'Fill list with data access pages.
For Each accObject In CurrentProject.AllDataAccessPages
Me.listObjects.AddItem "PAGE;" & accObject.Name
Next
'Fill list with macros.
For Each accObject In CurrentProject.AllMacros
Me.listObjects.AddItem "MACRO;" & accObject.Name
Next
'Fill list with modules.
For Each accObject In CurrentProject.AllModules
Me.listObjects.AddItem "MODULE;" & accObject.Name
Next
End Sub
|
| 5. | Save the form, and then close it. |
| 6. | Open the form in Form view. |
Note that the list box contains two columns. The first column
contains the object type, such as table, query, form, and so on. The second
column contains the object name.
