Default How to cancel the Edit status

How do you know that the "user not really want to input data" ?
If are including some mind-reading ability to Excel, that may be an option,
otherwise don't do it.
If edit mode is a result of your bad code, then fix the code.

But with all this you may be better off in a NG that deals with this; those
for .Net/Interop and/or microsoft.public.excel.sdk

Thanks for great help!
Is there a way to force out of edit mode?
because user not really want to input data, only error operation let it

into
edit mode.
If I set the Interactive to false, user couldn't read the data.

Others making add-in with .Net/Interop /C++ have this problem, because

At best, this means values are meaningless or worst (as you have found

out)
a crash.

You should not be forcing users out of edit mode. If I am writing a long

and
complex formula, then you cancel it all because your code wants to run,

you
will not have many users.
You need you code to run at the correct time and not allow users to

enter
edit mode until Excel/system is ready.

Here's one way to detect if excel is in edit mode

Workbooks,
_Workbook,Sheets and _Worksheet are initialized when program start,

But when user double click one Cell on active sheet, this Cell will be

in
edit stauts, the GetRange function will cause program crash.

Range myrange;
myrange =

workSheet.GetRange(COleVariant(strLine),COleVarian t(strLine));

I try to use the SendKeys function to send "ESC", still couldn't

change
foucs.
Kindly help how can I cancel the Edit status or How to disable the

Edit
funtion.
