[2005] Input Box Help Please

[Jonny1409]

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me please ?

I have an inputbox which is used to enter a date, then do stuff based on the date chosen.

The application automatically populates the input box for the user, and they can then change it if required.

My code is :

Dim DateFrom As String = String.Empty
DateFrom = InputBox("Please Enter the Date you wish to Export From", "Date From", "01/" & Month(CalendarView1.CalendarDate) & "/" & Year(CalendarView1.CalendarDate))

However I get a problem if someone presses cancel in as much as it still tries to run the routine based on the date the box was defaulted to.

How can I capture that they have pressed cancel and cancel the operation accordingly ?

The inputbox returns an empty string if the user presses cancel.
Altough, I would strongly encourage you to create a form that mimics the inputbox functionallity, as that will defenitly provide more functionallity.

Thanks Athiest - I must admit I did toy with the idea of creating a form for the purpose.

I think that's what I'll do.
