Programmatically moving between pages in a form

Hi... have just started developing an outlook form and am struggling with the

abundantly feature rich vb ui!

So, I have a number of pages on my form and I wish to move the user through

them by using forward and back buttons (command buttons on the form)... it is

all remarkably simple... just dunno how to do it... and it just isnt clear at

all.

I have seen the multiple pages code, which isnt appropriate.

Ideally, I would have only one page showing (so there are no page tabs) and

then when the forward or back button is pressed (after the requisite

validation), the new page will become visible, focus will be set to the first

control on the new page and then the previous page will be hidden. Stepping

you forward and back through a wizard basically.

Any ideas or pointers... more than happy to pick the bones out of other

solutions... but currently everything I come across seems to point to the

same multiple page control on an OutlookVB website and frankly, I don't wanna

do it that way.

Thanks for your time and please let me know if you need more information.

Lee
 
Welcome to Visual Notepad, as we so fondly call it!

The method you're looking for is Inspector.SetCurrentFormPage:

Item.GetInspector.SetCurrentFormPage "My Form Page's Name"

You can also use ShowFormPage and HideFormPage as needed.

When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA

environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to

Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and

events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.
