Sample macro:

+ Below is a sample function that can be called when an error occurs. Note that the macro takes in two parameters that are passed on by %PRODUCTNAME when the function is called: + + + CellValue: The value entered by the user, as a String. + + + CellAddress: The address of the cell where the value was entered, as a String prefixed with the sheet name (e.g: "Sheet1.A1"). + + + The function must return a Boolean value. If it returns True, the entered value is kept. If the function returns False, the entered value is erased and the previous value is restored. + + Function ExampleValidity(CellValue as String, CellAddress as String) as Boolean + Dim msg as String + Dim iAnswer as Integer + Dim MB_FLAGS as Integer + msg = "Invalid value: " & "'" & CellValue & "'" + msg = msg & " in cell: " & "'" & CellAddress & "'" + msg = msg & Chr(10) & "Accept anyway?" + MB_FLAGS = MB_YESNO + MB_ICONEXCLAMATION + MB_DEFBUTTON2 + iAnswer = MsgBox (msg , MB_FLAGS, "Error message") + ExampleValidity = (iAnswer = IDYES) + End Function + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
