Form.CurrentView Property (Access)
You can use the CurrentView property to determine how a form is currently displayed. Read/write Integer.
Syntax
expression .CurrentView
expression A variable that represents a Form object.
Remarks
The CurrentView property uses the following settings.
Setting |
Form Displayed In: |
|---|---|
0 |
Design view |
1 |
Form view |
2 |
Datasheet view |
Use this property to perform different tasks depending on the current view. For example, an event procedure could determine which view the form is displayed in and perform one task if the form is displayed in Form view or another task if it's displayed in Datasheet view.
Example
The following example uses the GetCurrentView subroutine to determine whether a form is in Form or Datasheet view. If it's in Form view, a message to the user is displayed in a text box on the form; if it's in Datasheet view, the same message is displayed in a message box.
GetCurrentView Me, "Please contact system administrator."
Sub GetCurrentView(frm As Form, strDisplayMsg As String)
Const conFormView = 1
Const conDataSheet = 2
Dim intView As Integer
intView = frm.CurrentView
Select Case intView
Case conFormView
frm!MessageTextBox.SetFocus
' Display message in text box.
frm!MessageTextBox = strDisplayMsg
Case conDataSheet
' Display message in message box.
MsgBox strDisplayMsg
End Select
End Sub
