Accelerator, Caption Properties Example

This example changes the Accelerator and Caption properties of a CommandButton each time the user clicks the button by using the mouse or the accelerator key. The Click event contains the code to change the Accelerator and Caption properties.

To try this example, paste the code into the Script Editor of a form containing a CommandButton named CommandButton1. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate.

Dim CommandButton1

Sub Item_Open()
  Set CommandButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").CommandButton1
  CommandButton1.Accelerator  = "C"         'Set Accelerator key to ALT + C
End Sub

Sub CommandButton1_Click ()
  If CommandButton1.Caption = "OK" Then     'Check caption, then change it.
    CommandButton1.Caption = "Clicked"    
    CommandButton1.Accelerator  = "C"         'Set Accelerator key to ALT + C
  Else
    CommandButton1.Caption = "OK"  
    CommandButton1.Accelerator  = "O"         'Set Accelerator key to ALT + O
  End If
End Sub
