This article describes how use the Visual Basic for Applications EnableCancelKey property with the wdCancelDisabled constant to prevent CTRL+BREAK from interrupting a macro.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
NOTE: Use this property carefully. When you use wdCancelDisabled, there is no way to interrupt a runaway loop or other non-self-terminating code. The wdCancelInterrupt constant resets the EnableCancelKey property to allow interruption by CTRL+BREAK when the macro completes.
Sub IsLastTableRow()
' Disable CTRL+BREAK.
Application.EnableCancelKey = wdCancelDisabled
' Set error trap.
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
' Check if insertion point is in last row of a table.
' If the insertion point is within a vertically merged
' cell, an error will occur.
MsgBox Selection.Rows(1).IsLast
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
' Re-enable CTRL+BREAK.
Application.EnableCancelKey = wdCancelInterrupt
End Sub
