TakeFocusOnClick Property Example

The following example uses the TakeFocusOnClick property to control whether a CommandButton receives the focus when the user clicks on it. The user clicks a control other than CommandButton1 and then clicks CommandButton1. If TakeFocusOnClick is True, CommandButton1 receives the focus after it is clicked. The user can change the value of TakeFocusOnClick by clicking the ToggleButton.

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

• A CommandButton named CommandButton1.
  
  
• A ToggleButton named ToggleButton1.
  
  
• One or two other controls, such as an OptionButton or ListBox.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    MsgBox "Watch CommandButton1 to see if it " _
        & "takes the focus."
End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
    If ToggleButton1 = True Then
        CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = True
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick On"
    Else
        CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = False
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick Off"
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    CommandButton1.Caption = "Show Message"
    
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "TakeFocusOnClick On"
    ToggleButton1.Value = True
    ToggleButton1.Width = 90
End Sub
