"auto repeat" for a command button

[Guest]

Hi
when I use the next record button on the navigation bar below, if I hold down the button, the records move rapidly toward the last one. I find this very handy when I have jump a lot of record ahead or back
Anyway I had to create a customized navigation bar on the form, but if I hold down the button, the current record does not move
Does anybody know if there is a trick to obtain the same behaviour of the default NextRecord button in the navigation bar

Any help very much appreciated

Thanks

I gather that you must be using the event on_click or on_enter. Maybe you
could use the mouse_up and down event, but thats not too easy and I don't
think you could reproduce the behavior easily.

Hi,

Set the Auto Repeat property of the command button to yes.

HTH,

YOu have to move your CommandButtons to a SubForm in order to be able to
use the AutoRepeat property. For a sample see:

RecordNavigationButtons is an MDB containing code to replace the
standard Navigation Buttons. The custom buttons exactly emulate the
standard navigation bar including the autorepeat property.
