Input Box Cancel 1

[hojo]

Hello All,

I have an application that requests an input from the user via an InputBox function.

Trouble is that the users response can legitamatly be an empty string, but if the user presses the cancel button the method should abort.

The cancel button of an Input box returns an empty string so how can i tell whether the user pressed the OK button with an empty input field or if they pressed the cancel button.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

cheers,

Hojo

Every time i learn something new it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

Easiest way is to create a small modal form of your own to replace the InputBox - you then have full control of functionality

Good Luck

You could also think of cancel as a shortcut to entering empty string. I only use the InputBox when I expect something other than an empty string. If you need cancel to stop your program from continuing then use johnwm's suggestion and create your own form.
