iLogic link between MessageBox Yesbutton and InputBox

[BRLMCHKD]

Hi Inventor Forum

I'm struggling with a problem in iLogic.

Want's to make a link between the 'Yes button' in MessageBox to activate InputBox

(to enter value that controls my relevant parameter) . . . See my attachment.

But I can't find the information how to write the code

Is anyone here that could provide me some ideas? 🙂

Thanks.

Hello @BRLMCHKD

Have you tried the input box? I have attached a screenshot to show you which one i mean.

Place you parameter you want changing, then prompt, title, default entry.

Is this what you wanted??

Hi Thomas.

Thank you very much for your answer 🙂

But I still not know how to activate the InputBox automatically based on the answer (Yes) given in the message box.
E.g. : When I answer yes, I would like that to automatically activate the InputBox to pop-up next.
I need a programming example how to write this code to give that link from MessageBox to InputBox.

Hope you understand my question/problem 🙂

Would it be possible to attach your .ipt?

Answer = MessageBox.Show("Would you like to input a value ", "Question?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
        If Answer = vbYes Then
			myparam = InputBox("Enter the Value", "Value Entry", "10")
			MessageBox.Show ("Value = " & myparam, "The value I entered")
            Return
		ElseIf Answer = vbNo Then
			MessageBox.Show ("You did not want to enter a value", "No Answer")
        End If

@BRLMCHKD  Code above..

Good code @mcgyvr

I had this:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If MessageBox.Show("Message", "Title",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = vbYes Then

Width = InputBox("Prompt", "Title", "Default Entry")

End If

@Thomas_Savage Yeah I just made the "long hand" version I guess which to me is always helpful to those still learning (which includes myself)..

Yes it is helpful @mcgyvr

I am still learning iLogic as well.

Hi,
there is not a big problem, if you need to check an inputbox with entered text (string). It's more tricky to ask for the cancel button, if your inputbox is used for integer values. Thats possible with a try...catch statement. Here is an example:

Dim myStringparam As String = InputBox("String", "Title", "Default Entry")
If myStringparam = "" Then Exit Sub
	
Dim myIntegerparam As Integer = InputBox("Check it out and enter nothing", "Title", 123)
'If myIntegerparam = "" Then Exit Sub ' This will cause a problem, "converting string in double..."



Try 
	Dim myIntegerparam2 As Integer = InputBox("Integer", "Title", 456)
	MsgBox("You entered as string: " & myStringparam & vbCr & "You entered as integer: " & myIntegerparam2)
Catch
	MsgBox("You entered nothing, a not guilty value or a canceled the messagebox")
End Try

Bye
Kay
