waiting for dialog form??? (in dll, aye?)

[itay222]

hi.

so my module class (dll),
is calling form1.show,
which have ok and cancel buttons,
(the reason i made form for that is i wanted it topmost).
how do i get which button was pressed?
(and ofcourse the dll "waits" until button click)

thanks.
itay.

In your DLL form, add the code to the Click event of the buttons:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
  'If OK was clicked
  Me.Tag = "OK"
  Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
  'If Cancel was clicked
  Me.Tag = "Cancelled"
  Me.Hide
End Sub

Then in your DLL class the following function will initiate the form, then return the button text.

Public Function ShowMyForm(ByVal strText As String) As String
  
  '// Form1 is the form with an OK & Cancel button
  Set mForm = New Form1
  With mForm
    .Tag = "Loaded"
    .Label1.Caption = "strText" 'message to display"
    .Show vbModal 'your topmost routine in Form_Load event
    ShowMyForm = .Tag
  End With
  Unload mForm
  Set mForm = Nothing
End Function

This function should return "OK" or "Cancelled"

Hope that this helps

thanks.
very simple indeed.
my original (wrong) thought was to put public variable
on the module and update it from the form,
but the correct solution is the other way around
