Word VBA nested fields show based on checkbox

Ikeg · #1 08-03-2023, 02:02 AM

Hi,

I got the following code from this forum.
Now i have nested fields end everytime i check a checkbox in a nestedfield it auto unchecks again.

Is it possible to have nested fields that show based on a checkboxes?

For example.
Checkbox 1 checked = Show table with content. In that table there are some questions and another checkbox (Checkbox 2) if checked it will show extra content.

Code:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal CCtrl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Val As Long

With CCtrl
  Select Case .Title
    Case "Checkbox1", "Checkbox2", "Checkbox3", "Checkbox4", "Checkbox5", "Checkbox6", "Checkbox7", "Checkbox8":
        ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("Chk" & Right(.Title, 1)).Value = (.Checked = True) ^ 2
        ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
  End Select
End With
End Sub

Thanks in advance!

We would need to see the code of your nested fields (or the document you are using the code in) in order to provide direct advice.

However, it might be simpler if you used a solution where the 'fields' were actually Content Controls.

See attachment en made an example from a form.

If you click on the checkbox behind "Investment" the document shows all tables from that category.

Then if you scoll down to:
"Impact assessment considerations"

I have put an extra checkbox that should open 1 more table beneath that table. It will open on first click but the checkbox deselects after clicking while it should stay checked.
