[RESOLVED] InputBox ... a little prob

Hi:wave:

My prob:

If I click on a Cancel button I want that my app pass to end (also after making first entry - line of code : If MsgBox("You have incomplete value or you want to break?".....)
Unfortunately it's around displaying me message "Enter with correct an value".
Also I get the error when I click on a button OK in InputBox when nothing is entered. Because my Sum variable is Empty. How to make it correctly


It's my code:

Code:

---


Option Explicit

Dim intNext As Integer

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()

Dim I As Integer, War As String, Sum As Double

intNext = Text2.Text

For I = 0 To intNext

Again:
  War = InputBox("Added  " & I + 1 & "  value", "Adding sections")
    If StrPtr(War) = 0 Then 'Exit Sub

        If Sum > 0 Then
          If MsgBox("You have incomplete value or you want to break?", _
          vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Question") = vbYes Then Exit Sub
        End If

        If IsNumeric(War) = False Then
          MsgBox "Enter with correct an value", vbCritical
        GoTo Again
        End If
    End If
Sum = Sum + CDbl(War)
Next

Text1.Text = Sum


End Sub

---

thanks in advance

***EDIT:

It the adding a different sections and my app it passes this value as base to next count

You get the error if nothing is entered because a blank string is still loaded in memory and thus has a pointer, so your StrPtr line won't stop it.

Simply replace that line by 'If War = vbNullString Then ...'

Hi
OK. thanks something like this I tried already, unfortunately without any of the result

But still I don't have main solution that when I click on a Cancel button it should be ending work my app. Note, that if you are clicking now on the Cancel button then it will be displaying message box with information for request about correct the entry. I not want so like it's now.
So.. please about an some the help

Try this, most of which has already been suggested:

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
Dim intNext As Integer
Dim I As Integer, War As String, Sum As Double
intNext = Len(Text2.Text)
For I = 0 To intNext
Again:
  War = InputBox("Added  " & I + 1 & "  value", "Adding sections")
  If War = "" Then Exit Sub
  If Sum > 0 Then
    If MsgBox("You have incomplete value or you want to break?", _
    vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Question") = vbYes Then Exit Sub
  End If

  If IsNumeric(War) = False Then
    MsgBox "Enter with correct an value", vbCritical
    GoTo Again
  End If
   
Sum = Sum + CDbl(War)
Next

Text1.Text = Sum


End Sub

Hi, again me

@vbmom: very thanks, but....I’m sorry …. it’s not correctly.

Below - it's my description how this should be

If during a first the rotation of loop you click on a Cancel button then this procedure should be closed

If you click on the Cancel button after making an some the entry it should to display message box with question: "You have incomplete value, you want to stop calculation?"
You have to choice: Yes or No, if Yes - it then this procedure should be ended. Hope that you understand me.

However if you entry to InputBox other signs than numbers it should appear the message box with message - e.g. something like this " You can write down only numbers”.
Then it should display again InputBox to make for correctly of this entry.

This message box with this message it should not be then when you are doing correctly these calculation.

Now this code after corrections it works like I describe this here (below)

Clicking on the Cancel it's OK, however....when I make correctly this entry it completely unnecessarily is displaying the message box with "You have incomplete value, you want to stop calculation?"

Also, when I trying to write some other the sign than number then also completely unnecessarily is displaying the same this message box with "You have incomplete value, you want to stop calculation?"

Hope that this is comprehensible - look in a my signature, sorry.


Thanks in advance

I just woke up and have read your explanation. I do not completely understand mostly because I'm not clear on what this thing does. It seems to me you should try another approach to what you want to do other than using inputbox and a loop. If you really must use a loop then introduce some flags that will help you decide what to do.

If you find you need to use for/next and a GOTO in a loop, then it is likely you need to redesign the solution. That's just my opinion. I cringe whenever I use a GOTO, but I know sometimes it's necessary. Since you are implementing user input, repeated prompts are not always user friendly anyway, so that's why I say think of another way to do it. Why not plain form with OK/Cancel buttons and use flags to enable and disable them?

If I were more awake I might understand your problem. I didn't want to ignore you but I've got to go to work now and won't be able to answer later.

try this in OK button click

Code:

---

Dim I As Integer, War As String, Sum As Double
intNext = Text2.Text
   
    For I = 1 To intNext
Again:
        War = InputBox("Added  " & I & "  value", "Adding sections")
        If War = "" And Sum <= 0 Then Exit Sub
        If War = Cancel Then
            If MsgBox("You have incomplete value or you want to break?", _
            vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Question") = vbYes Then
                          Exit Sub
          Else
            GoTo Again
          End If
       
        End If
       
        If IsNumeric(War) = False Then
            MsgBox "Enter with correct an value", vbCritical
            GoTo Again
        End If
      Sum = Sum + CDbl(War)
    Next
    Text1.Text = CStr(Sum)

Hi

Thanks, but this does not work still, someone knows how to make this

try this:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Dim intNext As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim I As Long, dblSum As Double
    Dim strWar As String
    Dim bOK As Boolean
   
    ' you should have some error handling here,
    ' but i'll leave that for you to do
    intNext = CLng(Text2.Text)
   
    For I = 0 To intNext
        bOK = False
        Do Until bOK
            strWar = InputBox("Added " & I + 1 & " value", "Adding sections")
            If StrPtr(strWar) = 0 Then
                ' Cancel Pressed
                If dblSum > 0 Then
                    If MsgBox("Do you want to Quit?", vbYesNo _
                        Or vbQuestion, "Question") = vbYes Then Exit Sub
                Else
                    Exit Sub
                End If
            Else
                ' Ok Pressed
                If Not IsNumeric(strWar) Then
                    MsgBox "Enter a correct value!", vbCritical
                Else
                    dblSum = dblSum + CDbl(strWar)
                    bOK = True
                End If
            End If
        Loop
    Next I
   
    MsgBox dblSum
End Sub

You always have another exit. Instead of

Code:

---

  If <condition> Then Goto Label
  'code
Label:

---

use

Code:

---

  If Not <condition> Then
    'code
  End If
