Explanation for fields on the form

hklein · #1 10-21-2011, 08:40 AM

Hello,

I have prepared a form, but it is not always clear the user, what is the purpose of the given field.

Is there any way (maybe a special control) which can appear and may have some text, when a user approach the mouse to the field.
How could this problem managed?

Thanky

ps. I couldn't find out, how to put a thread into "solved". Can anybody tell?

Hi hklein,

If you're using formfields, they have a help text property that can be used to display a message on the status bar when the formfield is selected.

Hello,

thanks, but I guess, that textbox on a userform are not formfields, at least I didn't find this property.

Hi hklein,

Although you've posted in the Userforms group, your post referred to fields, so I wasn't sure whether you're using a userform or formfields. Since it seems you're using a userform, it's easy enough to use the 'Enter' event to display your help somewhere. For example:

Code:

Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
 StatusBar = "Hello"
End Sub
