Textbox OnChange Event Delayed Until Done Typing

[kdbailey]

Is there a way for the OnChange event to wait until you're done typing (maybe a one second delay)?



I want my textbox to filter another listbox and don't want it filtering every single keystroke. I'd like it to filter once you're done typing for roughly a second.

Why not just use a different event. Maybe After Update ?

I agree with Bob, use a different event. If you want of validate/verify a value after it has been entered completely, then AfterUpdate of the control seems appropriate.
Perhaps you could tell us more about the requirement.

After update would require exiting the textbox in some fashion, correct? I'd prefer not to do that as well.

If this is not possible without going into lengthy Form Timers then I'll just live with the current filtering per keystroke.

Perhaps you could tell us more about the requirement in simple, plain English - just as you would tell an 8yr old.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Once readers understand WHAT, there may be options for How to do it in Access.

I'll put aside that disrespectful comment and lay it out in plain english, as my opening post stated pretty clearly itself.

Step 1) Type into textbox
Step 2) Listbox RowSource is filtered based on what you typed in step 1

No disrespect intended.

It was your quasi -description/questions/acceptance - that prompted me to ask for clarity/details/example.

Good luck with your project.
