AfterUpdate Event

If I want the program to take a certain action before after updating a
particular
control, say control "Xyz", I create a sub Xyz_AfterUpdate.

Is there any way for the AfterUpdate Event to supply to the program the
reason that
the control is being exited? For example, if the user were to press the
"Cancel" button on the dialog box, while in control "Xyz" it would not be
desirable to run function Xyz_AfterUpdate, but if the user leaves the
control for
any other reason than it would be. If there were a way for the program to
see the intended destination before running, that would be great.

Thank you,

Randy

 

I saw your other thread on Exit too. I assume you're doing this with a VBA form inside AutoCAD - I don't have much experience with those type of forms. But I can tell you that in Visual Basic (standalone) they introduced the Validate event for precisely this type of reason - to *not* run certain code if the user is just trying to Cancel or Close the form. Depending how critical this functionality is you may have to consider porting it from VBA to VB.
