[RESOLVED] Cancel Form

[Ron22]

Is there a way to detect if someone pressed cancel on form?
I have a procedure that call two form after each other. The first if the use click ok updates some registry entries. The second on then show the display with the new enties. If The user presses cancel I do not want the second for to show.
Right now I am just doing
frmSetUp.Show vbModal
frmDisplay.Show vbModal

Welcome to the forums.

What do you mean by "cancel"? Hitting the close, X, button in the upper right hand corner?

Have the cancel button place like "CANCELED" or something either in a variable that can be read or in it's form's tag.
Like Form1.tag="CANCELED"
then just check the tag before opening the second form.

Add a public boolean to your main Form, and set it to False, so you'll set it to true when the user clicks OK in the second Form.
I'll call your main form Form1

Public mContinue  As Boolean 'This one can be accessed from the other Forms
 
Private Sub InitProcess()
    mContinue = False
    frmSetUp.Show vbModal
    If mContinue Then
        frmDisplay.Show vbModal
    End If
End Sub

Then in frmSetUp, in the code for the Ok button event, add.

'...Code..
    Form1.mContinue = True

If you don't want to add a public variable, use property get and propery set, with a private variable.

First Hack what I ment by canceld was press the button labled "Cancel" Cancel set to true. So either the operator pressed esc or the x button or pressed cancel.
jcis & MikeJoel Thanks for the quick answer
