hi all,the problem:

I have this code:

NewValue = Inputbox(“insert a value:”,“request”)

the form(inputbox) displayed has two button, OK and CANCEL

if cancel button will pressed the NewValue becomes an empty string value ,else, if I press ok button the NewValue becomes the string that I have put in

now my question is : witch differences are between if I press OK with none value and if I press the cancel button??

please help :wink:

There is no difference between Cancel and OK with an empty string value. If you need to identify a difference, then create a form and use a dialogbox.

ok,I suspected that, but I was not sure…

the problem of your solution is that (in my case) the value inserted in the inputform don’t go to the current document but must go in another document(same form)created and composed with the code…

my code is that one:

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase



Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim newDoc As NotesDocument

Dim nuovovalore As String





Dim uiNewdoc As NotesUIDocument







Set Session = New NotesSession

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Set Currentdoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

Set Doc = Currentdoc.Document





If Not(doc Is Nothing) Then

	Set newDoc = db.CreateDocument 

	newDoc.Form = "Nuovo Formulario PP"

	Call doc.CopyAllItems(newdoc)

	nuovovalore=Inputbox("Inserisci il nuovo numero materiale:","Nuovo Materiale")

–here I must to check “nuovovalore” and if I press cancel the code must break (exit sub)—

	Call newdoc.ReplaceItemValue("materiale",nuovovalore)

	Set uiNewdoc = workspace.editDocument(True,newdoc,True)

	Call uinewdoc.Reload

End If

End Sub

Why not just break out on a returned empty string? I have to believe that “” would be a bad value for materiale anyway…

yes, I think it’s the best solution, in fact “” is a bad value for materiale… but the user should to view the composed form, also without “materiale”…then before to save he enter “materiale” in his own field.

thank you.
