DragBehavior, EnterFieldBehavior properties example

  • Article

The following example uses the DragBehavior and EnterFieldBehavior properties to demonstrate the different effects that you can provide when entering a control and when dragging information from one control to another.

The sample uses two TextBox controls. You can set DragBehavior and EnterFieldBehavior for each control and see the effects of dragging from one control to another.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

  • A TextBox named TextBox1.
  • Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 and ToggleButton2. These controls are associated with TextBox1.
  • A TextBox named TextBox2.
  • Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton3 and ToggleButton4. These controls are associated with TextBox2.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 TextBox1.Text = "Once upon a time in a land ...," 
 ToggleButton1.Value = True 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Enabled" 
 ToggleButton1.WordWrap = True 
 TextBox1.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorEnabled 
 
 ToggleButton2.Value = True 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "Recall Selection" 
 ToggleButton2.WordWrap = True 
 TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection 
 
 TextBox2.Text = "XXX, YYYY" 
 ToggleButton3.Value = False 
 ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Disabled" 
 ToggleButton3.WordWrap = True 
 TextBox2.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorDisabled 
 
 ToggleButton4.Value = False 
 ToggleButton4.Caption = "Select All" 
 ToggleButton4.WordWrap = True 
 TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click() 
 If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Enabled" 
 TextBox1.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorEnabled 
 Else 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Disabled" 
 TextBox1.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorDisabled 
 End If 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton2_Click() 
 If ToggleButton2.Value = True Then 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "Recall Selection" 
 TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection 
 Else 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "Select All" 
 TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll 
 End If 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton3_Click() 
 If ToggleButton3.Value = True Then 
 ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Enabled" 
 TextBox2.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorEnabled 
 Else 
 ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Disabled" 
 TextBox2.DragBehavior = fmDragBehaviorDisabled 
 End If 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton4_Click() 
 If ToggleButton4.Value = True Then 
 ToggleButton4.Caption = "Recall Selection" 
 TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection 
 Else 
 ToggleButton4.Caption = "Select All" 
 TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = _ 
 fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll 
 End If 
End Sub
