Pattern Lock (like in cellphones)

[arnelgp]

pure VBA code to mimic Pattern Lock in smartphones.
the idea came from this thread:
Pattern Lock | Access World Forums (access-programmers.co.uk) (same sample as the attached).
need some polishing of the code and the UI.

Arnel,
How is meant to work?

I then get the Pattern form, which I unable to close?

 

[arnelgp]

sorry about that gasman, the textbox on form1 should be Locked or disabled.
here is a new version, that i trim some of the codes (into another sub).

No problem, I was curious as to how you implemented it.
Thank you.

I can see this in design view

but when I click the button , all I get is

I can see I am meant to drag the cursor around the form and I get green lines, then I get

Don't worry about it, unless it is affecting others as well. It might ne a 2007 issue?

i ran the db on ms2007 and get the same screen (missing gray image), since the image shared (on msysresources and ms2007 don't have this system table). if you click (and hold your mouse) then drag your mouse, you will see that some lines are being make visible. and if you close the form, the sequence is generated on the textbox. if you press the "show pattern form" again it will show you the exact pattern earlier created.

sorry i use it in ms2007 but doesnt have any error on them, except for the missing "gray circle" image.

and here is a A2007 version (including the gray image).
i see what you meant by the error, Line16 does not exists. if you open the pattern form in design view there is no connection line between button 1 (top left) to button 6. so i guess you need to add an error handler for that. or you can add that line (or lines you want).

That is all working for me now arnel.
Thank you for going the extra mile to get it to work in 2007.
Much appreciated.

Now I will study and try to understand it.

Excellent work BTW.

Been playing... Need to fix that flicker...

 

[arnelgp]

you can try to not Overlap the Line controls with the other controls (command button and image).

I did not notice any flicker?

Yes; No flicker if you dont go through the boxes but to make the line go through the middle of the box without flickering i found hard to acheive.. Got this far though..

When you move the pattern more than once on the button, it cancels the connection of the line preceding it. Is there a solution?

Is it possible to get the attached file?
