I have a VB6 form with buttons with the text 'Continue' and 'Cancel'. I want to check which one was clicked. In C# every form has a dialog result and I could set it before exiting the form depending on which button was clicked. I don't see this in VB6.
Is there a dialog result? If not what is the best practice for checking the dialog result?
To simulate the .net WinForms behaviour, you will need a helper function in your form's code:
Public Function ShowDialog() As VbMsgBoxResult
Me.Show vbModal
ShowDialog = Iif(Cancelled, vbCancel, vbOk)
Unload Me
End Function
The form level Cancelled
variable can be set by the button event functions before calling .Hide()
or .Close()
, or you could have a variable containing the result code directly.
