1 Question On TextBox. Help.

[zunn]

Is there anyway to trigger a button when the length of my textbox reach a length of 8 ?

For example, when i type the 8th character on the txtbox, it will automatically trigger a button.

thanks.

Add this code to a form with a command button (named Command1)
and a text box (named Text1)

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  MsgBox "The number of characters in the textbox is: " & Len(Text1.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_Change()
  If Len(Text1.Text) >= 8 Then
    Call Command1_Click
  End If
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()

MsgBox "it works"
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_Change()

If Len(Text1.Text) = 8 Then Command1.Value = True

End Sub

Private Sub Text1_Change()
     If Len(Text1) > 7 Then
          Command1.Enabled = True
     End If
End Sub

i would go with JohnVB.........

changing the value or making it enabled wont call the command's sub

Buggy,

I beg to differ. Setting the Command button's Value property to True will fire the button click event.

Check it out.
