Control Array In Word VBA

[caz1805]

I have created a control array in visual basic so that when you type text into one textbox it gets copied into another texbox. This works fine, but i was trying to emulate this with VBA in a word document. I know you cannot use control arrays in VBA, but I cannot find on the internet many solutions (that I can get working).

Any ides would be helpful cheers.

Control Arrays are not available in VBA.

You could use the _Change event of the first textbox to populate the value in the second.

yeh i have tried using the change event, but have not found out how to make the text copied into the second textbox.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks DKenny, I have found and implemented a simple solution just using the code.

Text1.Text = Text2.Text

And this worked excellently but do you think there is anyway i could type into the document and it go into the textbox i dont really know the appropiate code e.g.

Document.Text = Text2.Text

Thanks again for your help.

Now I'm confused. Do you want
A/ the text of the document put into a text box (as per "anyway i could type into the document and it go into the textbox")
or
B/ The text from a text box put into a document (as per "Document.Text = Text2.Text")

If A/ is the requirment, do you want all of the text from the doc or just a section? What do you do when the document is too long to all fit into a textbox?

So I gues my question is
What are you really trying to acomplish here?

Well I am trying to create a simple language translation macro, my program so far consists of using the autocorrect feature to translate text entered into the document. I wanted a feature of the macro that the user could see in a text box what they typed before the autocorrect changed the word. I was going to use two textboxes but i was wondering if i could type into the document and the unchanged text gets sent to the text box, because the autocorrect feature does not work in a textbox.

Thanks for your help, So its option A.

Have you considered turning Autocorrect off?

[caz1805]

but i want autocorrect on so it changes the words.

[caz1805]

The key feature of using a textbox was that in a textbox, autocorrect doesnt work so if the text got copied to the textbox it would be in its original format before being changed with autocorrect.

Thanks for the help.

Just realised this cannot be done. so i have gone another route of using 2 textboxes, but i need to allow 1 textbox to have autocorrect on, anyone know how to do this?
