InputBox

[trezlub]

For some reason my inputboxes are being ignored by VB. I step over the code and the inputbox line is executed but it never appears on the computer screen. Code is

Dim response as string

response = InputBox(&quot;<some string>&quot

Does anyone know why this occurs?

&quot;. I step over the code and the inputbox line is executed &quot;

do u use F8 and do it?

is that the only code in the form?

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

I do use F8 to step through it.

It is not the only code in the form, but I do not see how any other code could affect it. There is too much code to show within this thread. In debug mode the inputbox is completely ignored

 

[vbkris]

does the F8 steps over the inputbox line or atleast is it highlighted (executed)?

The F8 steps highlight the InputBox line and then (when pressing F8 again) VB moves on to the next line of logic without ever displaying the inputbox. The procedure within which it is buried contains an error handler but this is not executed so it appears that nothing has failed.

Its all very odd

o.k so commit a wanton error:
response = InputBx(&quot;<some string>&quot

see if it shows any error...

excuse me?

 

[vbkris]

what i meant was do a mistake purposfully and see if any error is thrown...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

 

[trezlub]

Error handler has been tested and works fine

 

[vbkris]

O.K what is ur project type(not that it makes a difference but still..)

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

standard executable.

If you make the very first line of logic and inputbox it still does not work.

Arrghh!! The problem has been found. We are using VB with CodeSmart, and CodeSmart is stopping the inputboxes from displaying. Very strange but true.

Cheers for all your help on this one.
