Programmatically change the state of Toggle Button

[tkordick]

I have an form where user presses (turns on) a toggle button then does some work in the form. Based on the work they do, I want to programmatically change the state of the toggle button to off. I call the toggle buttons click event which calls the logic but the button still displays as depressed. How do I change the appearance so it does not appear pressed?

Thanks

Hi tkordick,

Toggle buttons are either "true" or "false". "True" is shown as depressed. "False" is raised.

In your code, after the user does what ever your trigger is, set the toggle to "false".

sub test_afterupdate()

me!toggle0 = false

end sub

I hope I understand what you are asking. If I didnt answer it, post back with a little more specifics and I will try again.

Hello,
Version: Access 97

Luckily I found a thread about this issue already. I too need to change the state of the toggle button automatically.

Specifically, I have a form with two toggles in an option group. When the form is opened, I want toggle1 to be defaulted to "pressed".

I tried:

me!toggle1 = True

But I get an error stating:

"You can't assign a value to this object"
* The Object may be a control on a read only form.
* The object may be on a form that is open in Design view.
* The value may be too large for this field.

Any ideas??

If you've got controls within an option group then u need to set the value of the option group rather than the individual control within it.

eg

optiongroupname = "Blue" will toggle the blue on and the red off

Hi Hany,

That pointed me in the right direction, thank you much

I used the below code and it worked:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me!OptionGroup = 1
End Sub

("1" was the value of the option group, not the name).
