Let me preface my question with the fact that I am self taught, so please provide as much detail as possible and bear with me if I need you to explain differently or multiple times.
I created a notation/email generating tool for my team using Microsoft Visual Basic 7.0. The only complaint that I received on it was that many of them are not used to hot keys so they depend on using the mouse but right click didn't work. I was able to find code that creates a pop-up for copy and paste when they use right click, and it works great on the few textboxes that are on the main form itself, however it does not work on the majority of the textboxes as they are in a Multipage.
Does anyone know how to alter the below code to work for textboxes on a Multipage? Also, before it is suggested, I did toy with the idea of moving everything out of the Multipage, however that format is the easiest as there are multiple stages and types of notes/emails that they would need to send at any time, so having tabs available for them to simply click is the most user friendly that I was able to create and that they all agreed on.
Thank you all so much in advance!
Code in the form:
Dim cBar As clsBar
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
On Error GoTo Whoa
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set cBar = New clsBar
cBar.Initialize Me
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
