How to stop a macro at a Shell line.
Hi,
The following macro run until the language inside the control panel has not been set to english. The problem I have is that "Shell Cmdl$, vbNormalFocus" show a box but the macro run during that time. If the language is not set to english before the macro start, Shell Cmdl will be shown 2 times (instead of one) even if the language is set to english when the first box is shown. What happens is that before the user choose the value (first time) "Shell ...", the macro run and the new parameters are set to old value. Any idea? Thanks! Alex Sub test() 512 = GetUserDefaultLCID() iRet1 = GetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, lpLCDataVar, 0) Symbol = String$(iRet1, 0) iRet2 = GetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, Symbol, iRet1) 'GetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_SDATE, Symbol, iRet1) pos = InStr(Symbol, Chr$(0)) If pos 0 Then Symbol = Left$(Symbol, pos - 1) sLang = Symbol End If If sLang < "English" Then MsgBox ("The regional settings must be English." & Chr(10) & "Your currently setting are " & sLang & ". Please select English in the next box") Cmdl = "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl" + ",,5" Shell Cmdl$, vbNormalFocus GoTo 512 End If End Sub -- Alex St-Pierre |
