Mouse Over Event of Bound Field

[GKWilly]

Hi Guys,

The problem I have is that I have a bound field on a form and sometimes the data string is too long to disply fully. I can't make the field any biger than it is.

I was hoping to be able to use the ControlTipText to display the actual data or a mouse over event but I can;t figure out how to make it work.

Can anyone out there help?

Many thanks in advance.

Have you looked at Zoom? I think your users may prefer it. Click on the textbox and press Shift+F2.

Good thinking. Thanks for that. Is it possible to call the zoom and mybe put it behind the double click event?

Perhaps:

See Ya! . . . . . .

Or the same basic code in the MouseMove event as you stated in your original post:

Private Sub YourControlName_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

   YourControlName.SetFocus
   DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

End Sub
