I have an input box in my program and I want to be able to control the flow when the 'cancel' button is pushed. Any help would be appreciated.

  2. if retval = "" then 
  3.     ' /* Cancel Pushed, Or Left Blank */
  4.     msgbox "You Entered Nothing..."
  5. else
  6.     ' /* They Typed Stuff */

The message box has two buttons - 'OK' and 'Cancel'. How do I access the flow from the 'Cancel' button. Thanks

Get the return value from the msgbox call. It returns the button value pressed.

In the code I posted, retval (the variable) will be blank if the user pressed cancel. Hence the code:
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if retval = "" then 
  2.     ' /* Cancel Pushed, Or Left Blank */
  3.     msgbox "You Entered Nothing..."
