Button and If Statement

[MiziaQ]

How can I write an if -statement where a condition is made true when a button is not clicked?

i.e. If cmdButton_Click = False Then
...

i donot think you can use

If cmdButton_Click = False Then

but this task can be achived in ohther way
make a check box
by default it is unchecke (false)
and when button is clicked give its value ture
now use condintion

 if checkbox.value=false then

which is now become equal to

If cmdButton_Click = False Then

i think you understand

Hello, muddasirmunir!

[CODE=VB]

.Enabled may also work for you

Private Sub...

If cmdMyButton.Ena bled = False Then
MsgBox ("Hey, what gives!")
Else
MsgBox ("That's what I am talking about!")
End If

[/CODE]

MsgBox can be reoplaced by what you need, I believe previous OP attempted to relay similar info

Open up another form rather than "MsgBox ("That's what I am talking about!")"

Have fun!

yea i was responding to MIZIAQ question usually there is more to an if statement:

example:

they would want a checkbox to do something or a textbox to do something but this " if statement " doesn't have any of them

The best thing to do is to use a checkbox instead of a command button and change its style. so it behaves like a toggle button. Then you need to use the value property.

[vdraceil]

Write the code of IF CLICKED CONDITION under command buttons click event(this event is triggered immediately when the botton is clicked) and write the ELSE CONDITION under forms mousemove event(when the mouse pointer is over the form there is no chance for the button getting clicked).

hi
if i am not wrong then you are trying to know whether a button has been clicked or not ( from a group of buttons). if no button has been clicked then you want to do something. if this is the case then you have two ways out. first is to use index array. in this case single click event will occur for all buttons,
e.g.

private sub command_click(i ndex as integer)
'set value of variable here. and then chek the value in some other place to process.
end sub

other ways is declare a booleean vaiable at form level. in the form_load event (or anywhere you deem fit.) set it to false. set its value in the click event of each button to true. if the its value is false then no button is clicked.

hope i have not mis-interprated your question

I think debasisdas has the best advice. Use a checkbox and change the "Style" property to graphical, this will make the checkbox appear to be a button. Then use the value property of the checkbox to see if it has been clicked. Like so...

[CODE=vb]If Check1.Value = 0 Then
' Do Something
Else
' Do Something Else
End If[/CODE]

Apologies if this is repeating something above, I couldn't be bothered to read it all...

Why not say :

dim a as string = "0"

then a = "1" in the button.

So you can now say:
if a = 1 then... (it's been pressed)
else
.........(it hasn't been pressed)
