WD: Macro Halts When You Press ESC Key in Dynamic Dialog Box |
Q109274
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0
SYMPTOMS
If you press ESC during a user (or dynamic) dialog box definition in a WordBasic macro, Word halts the macro and the following error message occurs:
WordBASIC: The macro was interrupted.
RESOLUTION
To prevent a macro from halting when you press ESC in a user dialog box, you must trap the ESC key using the DisableInput statement.
The following sample macro demonstrates the correct use of the DisableInput statement.

Sub MAIN Begin Dialog UserDialog 109, 81, "Test", .DialogFunction OKButton 10, 6, 88, 21 CancelButton 10, 30, 88, 21 PushButton 10, 54, 88, 21, "Text" End Dialog Dim dlg As UserDialog x = Dialog(dlg) End Sub Function DialogFunction(identifier$, action, wvalue) DisableInput 1 Select Case action Case 1 Case 2 If identifier$ = "Cancel" Then DialogFunction = 0 For xyz = 1 To 50 Print "Cancel pressed" Next xyz Else DialogFunction = 1 End If Case Else End Select End Function
STATUS
This functionality is by design of Microsoft Word.
MORE INFORMATION
This use of the DisableInput statement conflicts with the information in online Help for the DisableInput command and on page 340 of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit." Both resources state that "DisableInput does not affect the use of ESC for canceling a dialog box." This statement is not true for dynamic (user) dialog boxes, for which DisableInput does prevent the ESC key from interrupting the macro.
