Visual Basic :: Need For Cancel Click On Message Box To Exit Sub?

Telling The Difference Between A OK Click And A Cancel Click On A Common Dialog Box..
When I load a mp3 file into my MMControl, it should then go and get the ID3 tags from it. But, I have a common dialog box so the user can specify what file they want to open. Now when they click the Cancel button it gives me an error because it's trying to get the ID3 tags from a file that blank filename.

To make a long story short: How do I tell when a user clicks the cancel button instead of the OK button on a File Open common dialog box.

Thanx,
Ben

How To Programmatically Exit Or Cancel A Menu Or Popup.
Hi,

  I was wondering if anyone knows how to tell an MDI or other form to cancel or exit its menu. Here is my problem. I have an app I am writing that has a treeview. You can either right-click or press Shift-F10 to bring up a context menu. It is working fine, except for one little thing. I use the TreeView_KeyUp sub to check for Shift-F10. Once I see that Shift-F10 is pressed, I use PopMenu to bring up a popup menu. I have the following code to find the x,y coordinates of the node (I thought this was pretty nifty):

Public Function GetTvwNodeRect(Tvw As TreeView) As Boolean

    lItemHandle = SendMessage(Tvw.hWnd, TVM_GETNEXTITEM, ByVal TVGN_CARET, 0&)
    If lItemHandle Then
        ' For some reason, the message fails if the handle is not in the .left
        ' member of the structure.
        r.Left = lItemHandle
        SendMessage Tvw.hWnd, TVM_GETITEMRECT, 1, r
        GetTvwNodeRect = True
    End If
End Function

  The problem is this. Once the popup is clicked and the action taken (maybe a new form opened), the first menu item ('File') is inset to indicate that the menu is still active. In order to actually have the form that opened as a result of the context menu selection receive keystrokes, you have to first press Esc, Alt, Tab or click on the form with the mouse. While it is minor, I want it to be right. If the user forgets this and hits a key that activates a menu item, it could spell trouble. I have a SendKey "{TAB}+{TAB}" line in and it seems to work, but it is still a band-aid. Is there a message I can send via the SendMessage API that will cancel the menu? Please let me know if you have an answer.

Thanks,
Tony

Help Me With Ok And Cancel Message Box!!
does n e 1 know how to write example code for a ok or cancel message box???

Cancel Message....
I have a program that displays a messagebox when an event happens then continues to process the code in the event. Is there anyway to send a message to the program from another program that will allow me to cancel what happens after I hit ok on the message box. So I will send key {ENTER} to close the message box then I want the program to exit the event sub, all from another application. Thanks in advance!!

Message Box Cancel
How do you make a cancel button on a Message Box do nothing ?

Are You Sure You Want To Exit Message?
I want it so when you press the "x" button in the corner of my app it asks you if you're sure you want to exit.

I know you use this section to do it

VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)End Sub

but when I use the code I have on a command button for this whether I press no or yes doesn't matter..... It exits anyway.
Here is complete code

VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response, MyStringMsg = "Are you sure you want to exit FS Xml Pro 1.1 ?"Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton1Title = "FS XML Pro"Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)If Response = vbYes Then MyString = "Yes"EndEnd IfErrorHandler:End Sub

Exit Message Box
How would one make a message box that gives the option to exit, or not to exit, so that clicking the "no" buttonwould make it so you DON'T leave the program?

Debug Message When Cancel Save As
I am having a difficult time working out this code. I am using the auto close code to go through some items to check before the user closes the file. At the end of the auto_close, I have set the macro to automatically save the file to a specific directory and filename. If the user cancels the save as, they receive a debug message.

Can anyone help? My code is listed below.

Sub Auto_Close()
'

If Worksheets("Funding Sheet").Cells(2, 21).Value = "" Then
MsgBox ("You must enter the customer name and contract number.")
End If
If Worksheets("Page 5").Cells(35.2).Value > 0 Then
Worksheets("Page 2").Cells(12, 18).Value = Worksheets("Page 5").Cells(35, 2).Value
End If
If Worksheets("Page 4").Cells(28, 6).Value = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter the funding date."
End If

storename = Worksheets("Page 1").Cells(2, 21)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"S:LeasingFundings & Input Sheets2004New Input Sheets" & storename & "input sheet.XLS" _
, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _

Thanks!

Excel - Cancel Out Of Error Message From VBA
I am using VBA to access a webpage, populate the search criteria, and download the data results in an Excel spreadsheet. When the website tries to download the data, I get the following Excel error: "File error: data may have been lost". If I switch to Excel manually (from Internet Explorer) and click either OK or ESC, the error goes away and the file downloads, without losing any data. I have contacted the data provider and they say there is no way around this error since I already have Excel open.

So, I am wondering if there is a way to cancel out of the error message automatically from VBA, or do not display this type of error. I have tried activating the window then closing it, but when I do this, the spreadsheet, not the error message, is considered the active window.

Any suggestions?

Cancel Printing Got Error Message
I use code something like Printer.EndDoc .. When I cancel, I got the error message "Printer error". Why? how to handle this error so that when I click the cancel, I did not get error message like this. When I click save, It fine.

Auto Click Yes / No (OK/Cancel)
URGENT!

This seems to be an issue that a lot of people would have run into; however, I couldn't find the answer anywhere so here is the issue:

I am running a program call: Introspect Batch made by Zantaz company. Each time I run an update batch file gainst the database, there is a pop-up message saying "you will override the current data... do you want to continue?"

If I only run 1-2 update files, that's no problem, but it is an issue when you run 200-300 update batches. You have to be at the computer to click Yes, otherwise the program just sit there.

I am looking for a quick way to by pass this. Do you know if there's an easy way or a small utility that I can tell it to click the Yes button each time such a pop-up window shows up?

Thanks...

Cancel A Mouse Click
Does anyone know if you can catch a mouse click and cancel it so it has no effect on the program.

Sorta like the keyascii = 0 scenario.....etc etc.

What i am trying to do is turn a menu item into a heading. I'm aware you can set enable to false but the text is then ghosted and hard to read.

Cancel A Click Event
Hi,

Let's say that a user clicks on a listbox's item, the click event is generated. What if after some validation, the program should move back to the previous index because something is missing etc.

How can I cancel a click event?
I tried to change the listindex to the old one, but that generates another click event.

Thanks,

Prints Even Tho Click CANCEL!! Help!
I'm not sure if you can use KillDoc to stop printing if it was set to the printer from the commondialog box, but you might try this. The bold stuff is what I added to your code.

VB Code:

Why Does It Come Up Runtime Error '13' When I Click Cancel?
I am working on a simple program just to add students to a list, for a school. Well, that's what I've come up with so far, anyway. For some reason it comes up with "Runtime Error '13' when I click cancel. Here is my code so far.

Private Sub cmdStudentEntry_Click()
Dim NoOfLoops As Integer

Dim StudentName As String

NoOfLoops = InputBox("How many students do you want to add?")

For i = 1 To NoOfLoops

StudentName = InputBox("Enter a student name:")

lstStudents.AddItem (StudentName)

Next i
End Sub

My command button is called "cmdStudentEntry" and my list box "lstStudents"

How To Cancel The Click Event In A DataGrid?
I'm using a DataGrid and want to capture a click event and prevent a row change. I want to check for certain conditions in the recordset that is bound to the grid and then somehow cancel the row change if those conditions are true.

The RowColChange event only happens after the row change and it seems kind of clunky to move back to the last row and check the conditions and then allow the move if the conditions are false.

Anyone have any ideas?

Directing What Happens When Cancel Is Click On InputBox
I am trying to direct what happens when the cancel button on an inputbox is clicked. I want the current form to disappear and the menu form to reappear. It doesn't happen, the frmEmployeeData shows when the Cancel or OK is clicked. I tried to unload the Employee form rather than hide, but then I get an error (object unloaded) immediately on my Menu form. Here is the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

private Sub Form_Load()
Dim EmployeeNumber as Variant
frmEmployeeData.BackColor = &HC00000
frmEmployeeData.Show
TabStrip1.Visible = false
Frame1(0).Visible = false
Frame1(1).Visible = false
Frame1(2).Visible = false
Frame1(3).Visible = false
'
EmployeeNumber = InputBox$("Employee Number ('S' for Search)")
If EmployeeNumber = "" then
frmEmployeeData.Hide
frmMenu.Show
End If
'
'Add employee data code
'
TabStrip1.Visible = true
Frame1(0).Visible = true
Frame1(1).Visible = true
Frame1(2).Visible = true
Frame1(3).Visible = true

for i = 0 to Frame1.Count - 1
With Frame1(i)
.Move TabStrip1.ClientLeft, TabStrip1.ClientTop, _
TabStrip1.ClientWidth, TabStrip1.ClientHeight

Bad File Name Or Number When Click Exit
Hi, All!

I finally got the command buttons (Search By Name;Search By Number;View Entire File;Delete, etc) working. I was adding name and checking out the other commands, when I hit exit and I get the error message, "Bad File Name Or Number".

Inside my Exit command I have "Close #1 and Unload Me".

It doesn't do it all the time. Only if I do a lot of "playing" with the command buttons.

Any hints would be helpful!

Thanks in advance,

Canceling An Exit When The X Button Is Click.
In the docs it says that the unload event is always run before the terminates.

However in my program I have a message box popup asking if the user wishes to save before exiting with a vbYesNoCanel and if the user hits cancel I have:

if query=vbcanel then Cancel = -1

In the docs it says making Cancel anything other than 0 will halt unload (and in theory terminate) this code only works when I hit the exit in my File menu.

So... that brings me back to the topic, how to I hate a close when the X button is pressed.

Problem Exiting Applicatoin Using System Tray Icon (Right Click -> Exit)
Hi all,

I got problem with system tray icon in my application.

I used notify icon API to put icon in systemtray as someone closes the window. I also used double click event to show the window again and also use right mouse click event to show pupup menu which has options like : sign in, sign out, Exit(like Y! and MSN msngr).

Everything is working fine but when we close on Exit button with right clicking on systemtray icon it abnormally terminates the application showing "Don't send" button window in Windows XP.

I also want to say that if i click on the same menu option from form's menubar then it works fine. Also i use "End" method to close the application on that menu option.

if someone aware of this problem then please notify me.

But if a user clicks cancle, then they are brought to another page outside of my website and therefor can navigate as they please. Is there any way to automatically click OK so they dont have the chance to goto another page.

Cancel &"Do You Want To Save&" Message
I want to only allow people to save over this document if they hit a button on the worksheet. I did this with the beforesave event and had no problem. The only issue is if they make changes and then just go and close the document. It will ask if they want to save the changes. I tried setting the displayalerts to false but that doesn't seem to work. I also don't want the file to be read only because I want them to be able to save the new values in the document by clicking the button. How can I have it close without asking for a save?

Thanks!

Automatically Read And Click Message Boxes
Hello all,

I have a program I use on my system for doing electromagnetic simulations and I’m making a small utility program that will automatically configure it for me so I don’t have to be there all the time to monitor the simulations I’m doing. I want to make this a ‘smart’ program though and I was wondering if there was a way to monitor the simulator program for any message boxes, read the messages, and act accordingly. This is mainly for telling if an error in the program occurred so my program can restart the simulator. Also, is there a way to click the message boxes when they come up?

Thanks,
Jason O
