Is this possible to call users define sub procedure using msgbox? - vbscript

For example code:
show_box()
Function show_box()
result = MsgBox ("Please follow steps in document"vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click OK to call sum procedure" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click No to call substraction procedure"& vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click cancel to print hello")
Select Case result
case 1
msgbox(sum(1,2))
case 7
msgbox(substraction(4,2))
Case 2
msgbox("Hello")
End Select
END Function
sub sum(a,b)
sum = a+b
msgbox(sum)
end sub
sub substraction(a,b)
substraction = a - b
msgbox(substraction)
end sub
The result should be: When I click on OK, then call sum(a,b) procedure, and so on. I tried many times using different approach but I was not able to fix that.
Help will be most appreciated!!

Try something more like this instead:
Function sum(a, b)
sum = a + b
End Function
Function substraction(a, b)
substraction = a - b
End Function
Sub show_box()
Dim result
result = MsgBox ("Please follow steps in document" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click Yes to call sum procedure" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click No to call substraction procedure" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Click Cancel to print hello",
vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case result
Case vbYes
MsgBox(CStr(sum(1,2)))
case vbNo
MsgBox(CStr(substraction(4,2)))
Case vbCancel
MsgBox("Hello")
End Select
End Sub
show_box()

How to receive a timeout error from MessageBoxTimeout using iType = vbInformation in VB6?

Calling MessageBoxTimeout function from user32.dll is not returning timeout when using iType = vbInformation, it always returns vbOK, so I can not know when a timeout error occurs.
Code is following:
Public Function MsgBoxDelay(strMsg As String, strTitle As String, iTimeout As Long, iType As Integer) As Integer
On Error GoTo _error
MsgBoxDelay = MessageBoxTimeout(FrmFoo.hwnd, strMsg, strTitle, iType, 0, iTimeout * 1000)
If MsgBoxDelay <> vbYes And MsgBoxDelay <> vbNo And MsgBoxDelay <> vbOK Then
Call SaveLog("MsgBoxDelay: Timeout Error")
gbAATimedOut = True
End If
Exit Function
_error:
MsgBox "VB Error - Function MsgBoxDelay: " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf _
& "Description: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error!"
End Function
Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I did a work around setting a timer before MsgBoxTimeout and another after that call and it results almost the same.

Error Checking With VBScript Err Object

With the following block of code, which accesses an html span element, I am unable to check for errors. When I leave the input box empty and press "ok," the value of Err.Number doesn't change. I have user error checking enabled (On Error Resume Next) and I am checking to make sure that Err.Number is not equal to 0 (an error is ocurring). The error is being thrown, but the value of Err.Number is not changing, and this happens both when On Error Resume Next is on as well as when it is off). By the way, what is the default value of Err.Number? How does that value differ from the value of Err.Number after the Err object is cleared? If I am doing anything wrong or stating any wrong information, please inform me.
On Error Resume Next
Dim updateRate
updateRate = 0
RatePrompt()
Sub RatePrompt
updateRate = InputBox("Please enter an update rate (milliseconds)", "Update Rate")
If Err <> 0 Then
Err.Clear()
MsgBox "No Input Was Specified. Please Specify An Input."
RatePrompt()
Else If updateRate > 2000 then
rateDecision = MsgBox ("Consider entering a lower update rate" & vbCrLf & "Would you like to revise update rate?", _
vbYesNo, "Quiclock Alert")
If rateDecision = vbYes then
RatePrompt()
End If
Else If updateRate < 0 then
MsgBox "Update Rate Not Valid. The Default Value of 0 Milliseconds Will Be Used."
updateRate = 0
Else If updateRate = "" then
MsgBox "Update Rate Adjustment Cancelled. The Default Value of 0 Milliseconds Will Be Used."
updateRate = 0
Else
End If
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
TimerStart()
Sub TimerStart
timerID = window.setTimeout("TimeUpdate", updateRate, "VBScript")
End Sub
Sub TimeUpdate
clockOutput.innerHTML = Time()
window.clearTimeout(timerID)
TimerStart()
End Sub
I have spent a large amount of time researching this problem, but have not come to a conclusion. Thanks for the help.
Try next logic skelet for your script:
Dim updateRate, rateRevision
updateRate = InputBox("Please enter an update rate (milliseconds)", "Update Rate")
If IsEmpty( updateRate) Then
'`Cancel` (or equivalent `Esc` or red `×`) pressed/clicked
Else
If IsNumeric( updateRate) Then
updateRate = CLng( updateRate) 'convert string to a Variant of subtype Long
If updateRate > 2000 Then
' do not bother a user by an additional input: offer a value change right now
rateRevision = InputBox ("Consider entering a lower update rate" _
& vbCrLf & "Would you like to revise update rate?", _
"Quiclock Alert", updateRate)
If IsNumeric( rateRevision) Then
rateRevision = CLng( rateRevision)
If rateRevision > 0 Then updateRate = rateRevision
Else
' keep the value > 2000
End If
ElseIf updateRate < 0 Then
updateRate = 0
Else
''
End If
Else
'non-numeric input, use e.g. default value of zero
updateRate = 0
End If
TimerStart()
End If
An explanation and observation to the code:
There is a mistake in the InputBox Function reference. In fact: if the user clicks Cancel (or the red × or presses Esc), then the function returns an empty value, which looks like a zero-length string ("") due to automatic subtype conversion. See the 32213674.vbs script output below.
Comparison Operators (VBScript) reference shows how expressions are compared or what results from the comparison, depending on the underlying subtype; particularly: if one expression is numeric and the other is a string then the numeric expression is less than the string expression.
32213674.vbs script:
option explicit
On Error GoTo 0
Dim sValInput
Call doOutput( True, sValInput)
Do While True
sValInput = InputBox( _
"Please enter any value (and `OK`) to see its features:" & vbCR _

& "a time-like value, e.g. " & FormatDateTime( Now, vbShortTime) & vbCR _

& "a string of your choice" & vbCR _
& "an empty string (i.e. only click `OK`)" & vbCR _
& "or press `Esc` or click red `×` or `Cancel` button to exit the loop" _
, "InputBox test loop")
Call doOutput( False, sValInput)
If IsEmpty( sValInput) Then Exit Do
Loop
Sub doOutput( bHeader, sVal)
If Instr(1, Wscript.FullName, "cscript.exe", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
If bHeader Then
Wscript.Echo sHead()
Else
Wscript.Echo sLine( sVal)
End If
Else
If bHeader Then
Else
MsgBox( sHead() & vbCR & sLine( sVal))
End If
End If
End Sub
Function sHead()
sHead = "Empty?" & vbTab & "Number?" & vbTab & _

IsDate( sValue) & vbTab & VarType( sValue) & vbTab & _

End Function

vbs passing parameters weird behavior

i am creating a .vbs file that should open access, and inside access a form call "Issue Details", but passing a parameter, meaning that if i have 10 issues in my "Issues" table a vbs file is created for each one and when clicked should open the right record(would be one ID for each record in the table). It is so far opening access and it is opening the form(Issue Details) but it is blank. What am i missing? Help, getting crazy here ... Check code below. The weird thing here is that if i double click it again it will refresh and open the right record without opening anymore windows..
How can i fix that? I dont want to do it twice :)
Public Sub sendMRBmail(mrbid)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid
End Sub
Private Sub Create_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command48_Click
Dim snid As Integer
snid = Me.ID
Dim filename As String
filename = "S:\Quality Control\vbs\QC" & snid & ".vbs"
Dim proc As String
proc = Chr(34) & "sendMRBmail" & Chr(34)
Dim strList As String
strList = "On Error Resume Next" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "dim accessApp" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "set accessApp = createObject(" & Chr(34) & "Access.Application" & Chr (34)")" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "accessApp.OpenCurrentDataBase(" & Chr(34) & "S:\Quality Control\Quality DB\Quality Database.accdb" & Chr(34) & ")" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "accessApp.Run " & proc & "," & Chr(34) & snid & Chr(34) & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "set accessApp = nothing" & vbNewLine
Open filename For Output As #1
Print #1, strList
Close #1
Err_Command48_Click:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Email Error #: " & Err.Number & ", " & "Description: " & Err.Description
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Found the problem. Changed instruction below, adding acFormEdit to it and it worked:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid, acFormEdit

VBSCRIPT MsgBox VbYesNo countdown

Tried searching for the answer, all were too simple, or didn't match what I need. I have a message box, and I have it displaying information correctly. I have a Yes and No button. I want a timer, so when the timer runs out, it continues. If someone hits yes, it continues down the code, if they hit no, then it returns the user elsewhere. This is what I have, please help.
akey = MsgBox ("Image OS = " & ImageType & vbcrlf & _
"ComputerName = " & ComputerName & vbcrlf & _
"TimeZone = " & TZone & vbcrlf & _
"Ghost Server = " & Server & vbcrlf & _
"Broadcast Method = " & BMethod & vbcrlf & _
"Ghost Session = " & GhostSession _
, vbyesno + vbquestion,VN & " Please Confirm")
You can use Popup instead of Msgbox...
http://ss64.com/vb/popup.html
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
X = objShell.Popup("You have 3 Seconds to answer", 3, "Test", vbYesNo)
Select Case X
Case vbYes
Msgbox "You pressed YES"
Case vbNo
Msgbox "You pressed NO"
Case Else
MsgBox "You pressed NOTHING"
End Select
Otherwise, you can try to manipulate an HTA or Internet Explorer window to do something similar.

Get AutoFilter sort criteria and apply on second sheet

I'm trying to see if I can programatically trap an AutoFilter sort event, get the sort criteria and then apply that same sort criteria to an AutoFilter in a second worksheet.
So far it seems as though I have to trigger the Worksheet_Calculate() event. And this I've done. Then I have to check if the AutoFilter sort criteria was changed. If it wasn't, exit sub. If it was, collect the criteria and run it through a separate sub, which does the exact same sorting on an AutoFilter in a separate worksheet.
The general idea is that whenever one of these two AutoFilters are sorted, the AutoFilter in the other sheet should be sorted the exact same way.
I've tried to do something like this (I had to add an Excel formula to actually make the calculate event trigger):
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim wbBook as Workbook
Dim wsSheet as Worksheet
Dim rnData as Range
Set wbBook = ThisWorkbook
Set wsSheet = wbBook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
With wsSheet
Set dnData = .UsedRange
End With
End Sub
But I can't seem to manage to collect the criteria, I've tried several things and adding a watch to the dnData doesn't even reveal any AutoFilter property. Can someone shed any light on this?
Here is a way to get the autofilter criteria:
Sub test()
Dim Header As Range
Dim sMainCrit As String, sANDCrit As String, sORCrit As String
Set Header = Range("A2:C2")
With Header.Parent.AutoFilter
With .Filters(Header.Column - .Range.Column + 1)
If Not .On Then
MsgBox ("no criteria")
Exit Sub
End If
sMainCrit = .Criteria1
If .Operator = xlAnd Then
sANDCrit = .Criteria2
ElseIf .Operator = xlOr Then
sORCrit = .Criteria2
End If
End With
End With
MsgBox ("Main criteria: " & sMainCrit & Chr(13) & "AND Criteria:" & sANDCrit & Chr(13) & "OR Criteria" & sORCrit)
End Sub

Here are some notes on what I see as your requirements.
Dim rv As AutoFilter ''Object
Set rv = Sheet1.AutoFilter
''Just for curiosity
Debug.Print rv.Sort.Header
Debug.Print rv.Sort.SortFields.Count
Debug.Print rv.Sort.SortFields.Item(1).SortOn
Debug.Print rv.Sort.Rng.Address
Debug.Print rv.Sort.SortFields.Item(1).Key.Address
''One key only, but it is easy enough to loop and add others
Sheet2.Range(rv.Sort.Rng.Address).Sort _
key1:=Sheet2.Columns(rv.Sort.SortFields(1).Key.Column), _
Header:=xlYes
Found this code:
Sub ShowAutoFilterCriteria()
' John Green et. al: Excel 2000 VBA Programmer?s Reference, S. 379f
' 09.01.2005
Dim oAF As AutoFilter
Dim oFlt As Filter
Dim sField As String
Dim sCrit1 As String
Dim sCrit2 As String
Dim sMsg As String
Dim i As Integer
' Check if the sheet is filtered at all
If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False Then
MsgBox "The sheet does not have an Autofilter"
Exit Sub
End If
' Get the sheet?s Autofilter object
Set oAF = ActiveSheet.AutoFilter
' Loop through the Filters of the Autofilter
For i = 1 To oAF.Filters.Count
' Get the field name form the first row
' of the Autofilter range
sField = oAF.Range.Cells(1, i).Value
' Get the Filter object
Set oFlt = oAF.Filters(i)
' If it is on...
If oFlt.On Then
' Get the standard filter criteria
sMsg = sMsg & vbCrLf & sField & oFlt.Criteria1
' If it?s a special filter, show it
Select Case oFlt.Operator
Case xlAnd
sMsg = sMsg & " And " & sField & oFlt.Criteria2
Case xlOr
sMsg = sMsg & " Or " & sField & oFlt.Criteria2
Case xlBottom10Items
sMsg = sMsg & " (bottom 10 items)"
Case xlBottom10Percent
sMsg = sMsg & " (bottom 10%)"
Case xlTop10Items
sMsg = sMsg & " (top 10 items)"
Case xlTop10Percent
sMsg = sMsg & " (top 10%)"
End Select
End If
Next i
If msg = "" Then
' No filters are applied, so say so
sMsg = "The range " & oAF.Range.Address & " is not filtered."
Else
' Filters are applied, so show them
sMsg = "The range " & oAF.Range.Address & " is filtered by:" & sMsg
End If
' Display the message
MsgBox sMsg
End Sub
Works fine on my tests! I've changed a small part of it to support complex criteria:
' Get the standard filter criteria
If IsArray(oFlt.Criteria1) Then
Dim x As Integer
sMsg = sMsg & vbCrLf & sField
For x = 1 To UBound(oFlt.Criteria1)
sMsg = sMsg & "'" & oFlt.Criteria1(x) & "'"
Next x
Else
sMsg = sMsg & vbCrLf & sField & "'" & oFlt.Criteria1 & "'"
End If
