ModalResult Method

Object List Next Object

Defined By: Form

Description:

Sends a value back to the method that called ShowModal on the given Form.

Declaration:

Sub ModalResult(ByVal result As Long)

Details:

When a form is shown with a call to ShowModal, no other Form on the desktop that is associated with the application containing the modal form, can be interacted with. The most common uses of modal forms are error boxes and common dialogs. Somewhere in the code for a modal form should be a call to the ModalResult method. Calling ModalResult will remove the modal status from a form allowing other forms to be usable again. Normally, a call to either Hide or UnloadForm follows a ModalResult call.
