    Re: how to check textbox/listbox not empty

    No both didnt work in my case.

    I want to enable Command1 button enabled only if both text1 and text2 are not empty. I fill the 2 textboxes one after the other in the form after I run the pgm. Once I fill one text box and if I enter a single character also in the next textbox, the Command1 button shd be enabled.

    I want to enable Command2 button only if listbox is not empty.
    The same is the case with listbox also. As soon as a single list is added in the listbox, Command2 button shd be enabled.

    ----------------------------------------


    Private Sub Form_Load()

    Command1.Enabled = False
    Command2.Enabled = False
    If Text1.Text = "" And Text2.Text = "" Then
    Command1.Enabled = False
    Else
    Command1.Enabled = True
    End If
    If List1.ListCount > 0 Then
    Command2.Enabled = True
    End If

    End Sub

    Re: how to check textbox/listbox not empty

    Well you only stated you wanted to check the values and nothing about what you actually wanted to do.

    There are other events then you you will need to code to have the changes apply correctly. Completely different issue here.

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_Load()
    2.  
    3.     Command1.Enabled = False
    4.     Command2.Enabled = False
    5.  
    6. End Sub
    7.  
    8. Private Sub Text1_Change()
    9.     If Len(Text1.Text) > 0 And Len(Text2.Text) > 0 Then
    10.         Command1.Enabled = True
    11.     Else
    12.         Command1.Enabled = False
    13.     End If
    14. End Sub
    15.  
    16. Private Sub Text2_Change()
    17.     If Len(Text1.Text) > 0 And Len(Text2.Text) > 0 Then
    18.         Command1.Enabled = True
    19.     Else
    20.         Command1.Enabled = False
    21.     End If
    22. End Sub
    No for the listbox you need to provide more info as what is the event or criteria that an item will be added? After adding it via your code just endable the Command2 button. When items are removed via your code just disable the button if there are not more items in it.

    Re: how to check textbox/listbox not empty

    Rather make a control array of Text1 TextBox:
    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Text1_Change(Index As Integer)
    2.     If Len(Text1(0).Text) > 0 And Len(Text1(1).Text) > 0 Then
    3.         Command1.Enabled = True
    4.     Else
    5.         Command1.Enabled = False
    6.     End If
    7. End Sub
    If not anything, less code

    Re: [RESOLVED] how to check textbox/listbox not empty

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Text1_Change()
    2.     Command1.Enabled = (Len(Text1.Text) > 0) And (Len(Text2.Text) > 0)
    3. End Sub
    Same for Text2
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
