Passing value of unbound textbox (1 Viewer)

[Wysy]

Hi,
Is there anyway to read out the content of an unbound textbox in runtime? What i mean is how to get the values while typing for example.
Thank you

Are you talking about using the .text property in the OnChange event of the control?

What is it you want to do?

I have an unbound textbox that has an afterupdate property set to filter a form. I wondered to tirgger the filtering while typing, i.e. after each character entered, the filter would activate.

Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate()
Me.Form.Filter = "Partner Like'*" & Me.txtSearch & "*'"
Me.Form.FilterOn = True
end sub

try this link or search for similiar ones . try Find as you type or filter as you type as search terms.

Thanks. Exactly that is what i am looking for. "filter as you type..." was the wording i have missed.
