Cut and Paste From a Page Example

The following example uses the Add, Cut, and Paste methods to cut and paste a control from a Page of a MultiPage. The control involved in the cut and paste operations is dynamically added to the form.

This example assumes the user will add, then cut, then paste the new control.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• Three CommandButton controls named CommandButton1 through CommandButton3.
• A MultiPage named MultiPage1.

Dim CommandButton1
Dim CommandButton2
Dim CommandButton3
Dim MultiPage1
Dim MyTextBox

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Set MyTextBox = MultiPage1.Pages(MultiPage1.Value).Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1", "MyTextBox", 1)
    CommandButton2.Enabled = True
    CommandButton1.Enabled = False
End Sub

Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    MultiPage1.Pages(MultiPage1.Value).Controls.Cut
    CommandButton3.Enabled = True
    CommandButton2.Enabled = False
End Sub

Sub CommandButton3_Click()
    Dim MyPage
    Set MyPage = MultiPage1.Pages.Item(MultiPage1.Value)
    
    MyPage.Paste
    CommandButton3.Enabled = False
End Sub

Sub Item_Open()
    Set CommandButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("CommandButton1")
    Set CommandButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("CommandButton2")
    Set CommandButton3 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("CommandButton3")
    Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("MultiPage1")

    CommandButton1.Caption = "Add"
    CommandButton2.Caption = "Cut"
    CommandButton3.Caption = "Paste"
    
    CommandButton1.Enabled = True
    CommandButton2.Enabled = False
    CommandButton3.Enabled = False
End Sub
