Thread: Cancel popup during 'onpopup' event

Cancel popup during 'onpopup' event Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I would like to check for a condition, then cancel the popup in certain situations. I am trying the following code, but keep getting stuck in a loop when I add this line of code:

pklReasonDealDied.popup.cancel

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Sub pklReasonDealDiedPopup(Sender)
'Check to make sure Lost/Closed deals tab is visible to prevent errors when updating status
If Application.BasicFunctions.GetTabVisibleProperty("Personal:LostClosed Deal Details") Then
txtReasonDealDiedOriginal.text= pklReasonDealDied.text
Else
msgbox "Please make the 'Lost/Closed Deals' tab visible to allow changing this status."
pklReasonDealDied.popup.cancel
exit sub
End If
End Sub

Actually I got around this issue, but would still like to know if I can cancel a popup during the OnPopup event. Thanks

Are you trying to prevent/cancel the popup of a form, picklist, lookup, etc?

There is Application.BasicFunctions.CurrentViewCancelShow, but I've found the best approach is to instead prevent it from popping in the first place based on the condition instead of trying to cancel it from showing once it's already be launched. KWIM?

Yes, I KWYM. My original post was regarding a picklist. I have used the CurrenViewCancelShow before with good results for forms. I did take a different approach to the problem, but am still curious if I could stop a picklist from displaying during the onPopup event, or if once fired you get the list regardless.

Thanks

Steve,

I just had a similar need. To cancel the popup in the onPopup event, I just set the .picklistname.name = "". This completely suppresses the popup. This works on SLX 6.2.6, I'm not sure about other versions.

One note though is that you have to set the picklistname at the beginning of the onPopup event or else the next time the user clicks the popup button, after the picklist has been cleared, nothing will be shown.

For example
Sub pklStatusPopup(Sender)

pklStatus.PickListName.Name = "Account Status"

'Do some evaluation and if required clear the picklist name to suppress the popup

pklStatus.PickListName.Name = ""

End Sub

Interesting trick Rob - way to think outside the box. I'll keep that idea in my tips and tricks box - thanks!
