One content control updating another

jeffreybrown · #1 09-16-2018, 06:29 AM

I found this thread, but can't figure out two things.

1) How to edit this code for only one additional entry
2) How to know the index number of a control

In the first dropdown, there are only be two variables: 150.7 and 185

If 150.7 is selected, I want the other dropdown to read 1.077

If 185 is selected, I need the other dropdown to read 1.044

I have set the first dropdown with the display name as 150.7 and the value as 1.077, but can't figure out adjusting the code below to not need the Replace part.

I'm using content control instead of form fields because I read they don't play well together. Also, there are many other content controls on this doc.

The code runs fine with the loop, but not really needing the loop and figuring out the index of the content control.

Code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim i As Long, StrDetails As String
With ContentControl
  If .Title = "Client" Then
  For i = 1 To .DropdownListEntries.Count
    If .DropdownListEntries(i).Text = .Range.Text Then
      StrDetails = Replace(.DropdownListEntries(i).Value, "|", Chr(11))
      Exit For
    End If
  Next
  ActiveDocument.ContentControls(2).Range.Text = StrDetails
  End If
End With
End Sub
