Confusing DoEvents problem [RESOLVED]

Hi,

I have a program that processes something, then displays a messagebox giving the results.

Now, as soon as the user clicks the okay button on the messagebox, i want the application to end.

The way I have done that is this way:

VB Code:

MsgBox("Done", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Complete")
            Application.Exit()

However I have found that it just seems to exit the application the second it puts the messagebox up. It doesn't wait for the user to press the okay button. I think this is because of the
"Application.DoEvents()" I put at the start of the sub. The problem is tho, i need this for it to show the message box at all. I dunno why, but it's the way i've coded it - very weirdly!!!

So is there a way to make the code just wait for the user to press the okay button on the message box before it processes the application.exit() ?

Thanks very much! I've tried lots of things but nothing seems to work. I either get the messagebox to popup, but the program doesnt end when u press okay. or the current situation where it doesn't come up at all and just ends.

HI,

I've tried but cannot duplicate your result, even with Application.DoEvents in the procedure so I think there must be something else. However, try

VB Code:

If MsgBox("Done", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Complete") = MsgBoxResult.OK Then
            Application.Exit()
        End If

If that does not work for you then I suggest you post your sub.

thanks, i managed to fix it.

i changed the order if which it closed a form. no idea why that altered the messagebox tho.

i think your code helped though, i'm keeping it in.

thanks!
