Halt Execution / Wait for Input Problem.

[Nicodemas]

Hello, VB'ers. I'm not an expert on VB. :)

During execution, I open a dialog (a form named 'frmMetaData').

Currently, I open frmMetaData as vbModal, but this locks out the user's ability to manipulate the window behind the dialog. I switched the modality to vbModeless, (via frmMetaData.sho w vbModeless) but what happens is the code keeps running after the show command, and it no longer waits for frmMetaData to be completed.

The code which follows the .Show() command depends on input from the user to work correctly. Users also should to be able to access the window behind the dialog.

What do I do?

I have created a workaround to this. My solution was as follows:

I separated the code that followed the .Show command in a Public subroutine of its own.

I then put a Click() event on the "OK" button on the dialog which called the new Public subroutine.
