Messagebox Question

[gmattox]

Is there a way to have the messagebox not select any button?
I have a customer that enters data so fast she keys right by the messagebox?
Thanks,
Gary

No. The MESSAGEBOX function is a call to the Windows API. Alternatively, you can build your own messagebox, but you'd have to place some other control before the buttons that can receive focus.

You can control which button is selected by default.

Why not make the 'No' or 'Cancel' button as the default instead.

You could use Yes/No buttons and make the No button the default.

You can also clear the keyboard buffer before launching the MessageBox:

* some keys throw a 0 then a scan code
DO WHILE InKey()>0 and inkey()>0
ENDDO
MessageBox("No keys in keyboard buffer now!")
