How do I exit a cells edit mode?
 
If you select a cell and press F2, or double click it, the cell will go into
edit mode. I am using the following code to insert ticks and crosses in blank
cells:

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
If ActiveCell = "û" Or Len(ActiveCell) = 0 Then
ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
ActiveCell.Font.Size = "14"
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 50
ActiveCell = "ü"
Else
If ActiveCell = "ü" Then
ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
ActiveCell.Font.Size = "14"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = vbRed
ActiveCell = "û"
End If
End If
End Sub

After this code has run the cell goes into edit mode, and as the code runs
'BeforeDoubleClick' I can't get out of edit mode in the code. Any ideas?

Add the Cancel = True line as shown

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As _
Boolean)
If ActiveCell = "û" Or Len(ActiveCell) = 0 Then
ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
ActiveCell.Font.Size = "14"
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 50
ActiveCell = "ü"
Else
If ActiveCell = "ü" Then
ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
ActiveCell.Font.Size = "14"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = vbRed
ActiveCell = "û"
End If
End If
Cancel = True 'add this line
End Sub

Note that this will disable ALL double clicks, even if the active cell's
value is not "û","ü", or blank (which may be exactly what you want, but
isn't obvious from your code).

Hi. Is there any way to cancel Excel edit mode using COM interfaces
from outside?
I mean, can it be canceled from other application that gets pointer to
Excel IDispatch? Any ideas? Thanks.
