Databind custom control?

P

phancey

I have created a VB custom control that lists the contents of a
directory. The directory path is in a Access database field.

If it is a single form or if I only use one custom control on the form
and set its Path property on Current event for example - it all works
fine.

But if I want to bind the control to the directory field so that in
Continuous Forms mode it automatically shows a different list for each
record - how would I do that?

TIA

You cannot. Basically you have 1 control with 1 path value (that of the
active record) shown multiple times.

To demonsrate, remove your custom control and set a std property of a normal
control, ie back colour of a text box. They will all change.
