Cancel TaskDialog

   How do you determine if the Cancel button was clicked in the TaskDialog?

I assume it has something to do with the ButtonClicked event, but I don't understand how to implement what is described in the Help. And I couldn't find anything in the samples.

	Do you mean the CommonButtons? If so, then the ID of the button in ButtonClicked event will be a value from the TaskDialogCommonButtons enum, in this case xtpTaskButtonCancel (8).

	I don't understand how to access the buttonclicked event. Can you give me a VB 6 code example?

	Private Sub taskDialog_ButtonClicked(ByVal id As Long, CloseDialog As Variant) On Error Resume Next Select Case id Case xtpTaskButtonCancel: Debug.Print "cancel button clicked" Case Else: CloseDialog = True End Select End Sub

	Perhaps I was likely too vague. Allow me to elaborate. I use the TaskDialog for various purposes on a single form. Consequently, I can't have in-line code in the ButtonClicked event. But I need to access the result of which button was clicked. Therefore, I have the following type of code... start procedure that does stuff... Dim vRC as variant ' Return result from task dialog blah blah blah ' Get a needed value vRC = task_vInputBox(Me, TaskDialog1, sTitle, sHeading, sDescription, "", "", "", sIconPath) ' Set properties and open (.ShowDialog) ' Deal with returned value blah blah blah end of procedure ' The result assigned to vRC obviously comes from .InputBoxText (which is currently part of the task_vInputBox function) - but what if the Cancel button was clicked? Instead of retrieving the value from my function call, I tried assigning the result of the .InputBoxText (unless Cancel was clicked) by using a public variable in the ButtonClicked event, to see if that would address my problem. However, that didn't work because the ButtonClicked event wasn't firing. I don't know why.

	Clarification... The ButtonClicked event DOES fire (sorry). However, it only fires once. If I don't receive an appropriate value, the code loops to re-open TaskDialog1 (I test vRC and, if needed, loop back to task_vInputBox). When it loops, the ButtonClicked event no longer fires. I have to exit the procedure to get it to fire again (which is impractical). I tried using Reset after retrieving the result, but that didn't work. Is there some other way to essentially set the control to nothing - or whatever needs to be done so that it works correctly?

	Since I haven't had a reply about the recent issue, I'm guessing this is a bug. I'll rephrase it... When I call the TaskDialog more than once from within the same procedure, the ButtonClicked event only fires the first time. I've used reset, and set the Cancel to true after the call. It doesn't change anything. it's in a loop, waiting for a valid response

	I not sure what exactly I need to do to reproduce it, but such code works for me - I see 2 Debug outputs: Private Sub Command1_Click() TaskDialog1.AddButton "Test", 1 TaskDialog1.ShowDialog TaskDialog1.Reset TaskDialog1.AddButton "Test", 1 TaskDialog1.ShowDialog End Sub Private Sub TaskDialog1_ButtonClicked(ByVal Id As Long, CloseDialog As Variant) Debug.Print "TaskDialog1_ButtonClicked" End Sub
