Hi Gurus
I am trying to make a custom message box with a dialog form.
Here is how I would like to do it:
1- anywhere in the database, in any procedure, I call the function that
opens a dialog form
2- users clicks on a button in the custom form
3- answer from user is passed back to original procedure (e.g. whether
the answer was Yes or No).
I can do all of this but I can not pass the answer (the click of a button)
back to the original function (3).
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I think I might be a bit simplistic here but perhaps this is all you need:
Dim Response as int
Response = Msgbox("Ask user a question",vbYes No,"TestMsg")
IF Response = vbYes then
'Do stuff
Else
'Do sumfin else
end if
OR THIS WORKS TOO*******
IF Msgbox("Ask user a question",vbYes No,"TestMsg") = vbYes then
'Do stuff
Else
'Do sumfin else
end if

A dialog form will halt all code execution (except code in the dialog form itself) until the form is closed or hidden.
The method I use for returning a value from a dialog form is to hide the form rather than close it. This will allow code
execution to continue in the calling routine, but the values from the hidden dialog form are still available. Your
calling function grabs the value(s) it needs from the dialog and then closes the form.
eg
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMyDialo g", , , , , acDialog
'code execution stops here
'when the dialog form is hidden execution resumes
vSomeVariable = Forms!frmMyDial og!SomeControl
'now close the dialog form
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmMyDialo g"
The code behind your "Close" button on the dialog form would be -
Me.Visible = False

Do you know you can easily do this with a messagebox:
Dim MsgStr As String
DimTitleStr As String
MsgStr = "My Message"
TitleStr = "Caption of Messagebox"
If MsgBox(MsgStr,v bYesNo,TitleStr ) = vbYes Then
<Do This>
Else
<Do That>
End If

I have done it with a message box in the past, but I am fussy and I do not
like the look of a message box (unless you know a way to change that).
Thank you
Hi Wayne
Thank you for that answer. That is very smart. It is quite unexpected
that:
a. you can hide a dialog form
b. code resumes when you hide it
Great solution.

When you open your custom dialog form do so using the acDialog windowmode
option.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMessageBox" , acNormal, , , , acDialog
This causes the code in the calling routine to halt. When the user clicks
OK, (or Yes No or whatever), don't close the form - just hide it. This
allows the calling routine to continue. Since the message box form is still
open you can now read the value selected, (by setting a text box on the form
to receive the user selection for example). Now your calling code can close
the dialog.
In fact there's no requirement to close it - you could just leave it open
and hidden, and it will appear as normal the next time it's called.
thank you all for your help, i now have a great custom message box in
operation.... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

When using a custom control. In order to check and see if values have
changed one has to implement the IPostBackDataCollection interface. The
values returned for the control seem to be simply a string with comma
delimited values.
For example, if I were to render two text boxes. One with the Value Terry
and the Other with the Value 'Burns' I would get the following value
Terry,Burns.
