hi,

i would like to know if there is a way i can simulate clicking on the OK
button of a messagebox. i have the following:

msgbox zz

i am wanting to do this because when i run the code, for some reason it
skips over this, but when i step through it, it works...

thanks in advance,
geebee

don't understand what you are trying to achieve. If you simulate the clicking
of the OK button in your code then you will not see the msgbox because it
will all occur too quickly. the idea of the OK button is to give the user the
time they require to read the message.

perhaps you can post a snippet of your code including the msgbox.

hi,

the OK button to automatically be clicked.

If you dont need the msgbox comment it out by placing a single quote ' in
front of it or just remove it all together.

i really need the messagebox it seems for this towork. for example when i
step through the code, i get the messageboxes. and the link in the aol page
is clicked. but when i simply run the code, it doesnt work and i dont get
the msgbox zz. here is the full code:

Dim myIE As New InternetExplorer

Public Sub EE()

Dim myURL As String
Dim myURL33 As String
Dim myDoc As HTMLDocument
Dim strSearch As String
'Set starting URL and search string
myURL = "www.google.com"
'Make IE navigate to the URL and make browser visible
myIE.navigate myURL
myIE.Visible = True
Call EE2
End Sub



Sub EE2()
myIE.navigate "www.aol.com "
myIE.Visible = True
While myIE.Busy: DoEvents: Wend
Set o = myIE.document.all.tags("A")
M = o.Length: mySubmit = -1
For r = 0 To M - 1: zz = ""
zz = zz & "Link Index : " & r & " of " & o.Length - 1
zz = zz & String(3, vbCrLf)

zz = zz & "A . tabindex : " & o.Item(r).tabIndex

Haven't followed all the thread, but try instead of the Msgbox a DoEvents

Looks like the msgbox is to allow catchup time. Try sendkeys(Key,Wait) should
do the trick.

Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}", True

hi,

this is what i now have...I added the Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
before and after the msgbox zz. it works to automate clicking ok in the
many messageboxes, but it looks like i have to go in and click the first one
because the focus is put on the internet page and is lot from excel. so the
web page is open, then i go to excel and clikc the first ok. all the others
are clicked automatically. how can i make it to where i dont have to click
the first one? (maybe i just need top put the focus on excel after the web
page is opened and then put it back on IE). im not sure.

You are into an area that I don't know anything about. From your answer, I am
ssuming that my reply solved one of your problems but I really can't answer
your last question.

Perhaps you should start another thread with your latest problem as the
specific question.

If you dont need the msgbox comment it out by placing a single quote ' in
front of it or just remove it all together.

hi,

its ok if the user does not have time to see the messagebox. i just need

don't understand what you are trying to achieve. If you simulate the clicking
of the OK button in your code then you will not see the msgbox because it
will all occur too quickly. the idea of the OK button is to give the user the
time they require to read the message.

perhaps you can post a snippet of your code including the msgbox.

hi,

for some reason it is not doing anything at all. but at the same time i am
not getting an error message. keep in mind i am wanting to work in IE:

Dim lHwnd4 As Long
lHwnd4 = FindWindow("IEframe", vbNullString) 'determine if there is IE open

If lHwnd4 < 0 Then
ShowWindow lHwnd4, SW_SHOWNORMAL
Dim XT4 As Long
XT4 = BringWindowToTop(lHwnd4) 'brings the IE window to top
Windows.Application.SendKeys "^A", True
End If

any ideas?

thanks in advance,
