didnt work

I believe "Form.Show vbModal" returns only after the form is hided or unloaded, Choli


Well, this might work:

' inside parsecommand...
not_yet=true ' this is a global variable
form1.show vbmodeless, screen.activeform
while not_yet
DoEvents ' You don't want to hang Messenger here, don't you
wend
sResult = Form1.text1.text
end function

'inside form1...
sub commandbutton_enter_onclick()
not_yet = False
end sub

well... I got a problem here... when I'll compile it... it says the "not_yet" variable is not defined..

Choli said it is a global variable, so you must declare it somewhere in  a .bas module file like

Public not_yet As Boolean

sorry again, I forgot it Anyway, I had problems with DoEvents if it's inside a timer proc. I don't think it gives problems inside the parsecommand of plus, however be careful

a bit offtopic: btw, into what api call does VB translate (compile) DoEvents? In other words, is there any other way of yield the processor?

err..... a made everything that you guys said.... but my command now don't work... only the command that opens the dialog the others works fine... did I made something wrong??? add me to your contact list? limaodf@msn.com

tnks for the help...

Do you have any runtime errors?


Choli:
This is what I do in my C++ programs...not very sure if VB uses this

code:

---

//(Under MFC)
//Ultimate DoEvents
void __stdcall DoEvents(){
    MSG dispatch;
    while (::PeekMessage( &dispatch, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
    {
        if (!AfxGetThread()->PumpMessage());
    }
}
