MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / May 2005closing msgbox in vba code
I am stuck I have developed an access app wich under certain circumstances will display a msgbox using the standard msgbox function. I am now trying to implement timers for the application as a whole so that it is automatically closed if the user does nothing for 80mins. The problem I have is that I cannot sucessfuly use application.quit if a msgbox has currently got the focus. Is there anyway I can close it from within the vba timer module? I suspect this may need an api call ie enumerate child windows etc but how do you tell that a msgbox has currently got the focus and what the hwnd is? thanks in advance stephen If I had this problem, Id use a custom form instead if msgbox. >I am stuck >I have developed an access app wich under certain circumstances will display [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >thanks in advance >stephen will remember for next time but not an option here Thanks for the help - have now managed to put together a string of apis that deal with it. Closing boxes with the red cancel cross enabled was reasonably easy but had some problems with the vbyesno as they have no cancel but eventually sorted that with the usual mishmash of various peoples offerings. Will post the resultant here if anyone is interested rgds stephen > If I had this problem, Id use a custom form instead if msgbox. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>thanks in advance >>stephen I would be interested in how you fixed this. I have just ran across the same issue with an app that has many msgboxes and a 7 minute system timer.
