access thread: ALT F4


Message #1 by "George Oro" <george@c...> on Sun, 15 Dec 2002 08:56:27 +0400
Hi Guys,

I know this very simple but I cannot figure out.

I want to add ALT F4 to my AutoKeys macro and view a message box ?Please use
the Exit button on the main menu to exit??
My main objective is to force the user to use my Exit button on the main
menu.

Can anyone tell me the syntax? I tried %{F4} but it doesn?t work.

TIA,
George

Are you sure you want to use ALT F4?
It is a system function to close the active window.

If you want it to do  ALT  FILE   Exit  use:

%(FX)     or  %FX

later,
bware

Bware,
I typed what you suggested in the Macro Name column and MsgBox in Action and blah.. blah.. blah..

ERROR on both:
The Key or combination in AutoKeys has invalid syntax or in not allowed.

Thanks for your reply,

You can code the  FOKtoClose flag on each form.  That is totally rigid in
that it disables Alt F4, close buttons etc.

Dim fOKToClose As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Activate()

End Sub



Private Sub Form_Load()
    fOKToClose = False
End Sub


 Private Sub Form_Unload(cancel As Integer)
    cancel = Not fOKToClose
 End Sub


Private Sub cmdQuit_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdquit_Click
    fOKToClose = True
    DoCmd.Quit acQuitSaveAll
Exit_cmdquit_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_cmdquit_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_cmdquit_Click
End Sub

Thanks Steve, actually I have a similar working code like yours. The reason why I need to disabled ALT
F4 is, once the user login,
the User Name and Computer Name are saving in one table therefore no other users can use the same user name. Then, once the user
exit the database using the Exit button on my main menu, automatically his login info will be deleted on the table. The problem is,
for some reason the user will just use ALT F4 any place on the database to exit and the user login info will remain on the table.
The next time the user will login, they will be prompt that " This user name is already in used blah blah blah" which is not.

Any tip that may accomplish my needs is highly appreciated.

TIA,
George

Do you have a form that stays open all the time the database is in use? If so, you could put the security record deleting code in
this forms unload event.

On this situation I have made use of the UnLoad event, so that before Access close it will ask first
if he wants to log out. Therefore there will be no need for you to over write ALT F4.

Below is a sample code: LogOff is a procedure that will ask if the user wants to log off or not

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
  If LogOff = False Then
    Cancel = 1
  End If
End Sub

For more info, can you show me your LogOff procedure.

TIA,
George

P.S.
So basically there's no other way to include ALT F4 in AutoKeys Macro or to disabled it.

George,

Dev Anish has some code you might want to look at.   Check out 

http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0005.htm 

It looks like the code there does a pretty neat job of keeping someone IN t
he Database, till they exit your desired way.   Lotta good stuff shared on 
his site.

Message #12 by "Steve Klein" <Stephen@K...> on Mon, 16 Dec 2002 17:49:08 -0000
I think the secret is to ensure that the fOKToClose = False flag is set on
EVERY form.  That way Alt f4 should remain set to false.

Subject: [access] RE: ALT F4


Thanks Steve, actually I have a similar working code like yours. The reason
why I need to disabled ALT F4 is, once the user login,
the User Name and Computer Name are saving in one table therefore no other
users can use the same user name. Then, once the user
exit the database using the Exit button on my main menu, automatically his
login info will be deleted on the table. The problem is,
for some reason the user will just use ALT F4 any place on the database to
exit and the user login info will remain on the table.
The next time the user will login, they will be prompt that " This user name
is already in used blah blah blah" which is not.

Any tip that may accomplish my needs is highly appreciated.

TIA,
George

You can code the  FOKtoClose flag on each form.  That is totally rigid in
that it disables Alt F4, close buttons etc.

Dim fOKToClose As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Activate()

End Sub



Private Sub Form_Load()
    fOKToClose = False
End Sub


 Private Sub Form_Unload(cancel As Integer)
    cancel = Not fOKToClose
 End Sub


Private Sub cmdQuit_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdquit_Click
    fOKToClose = True
    DoCmd.Quit acQuitSaveAll
Exit_cmdquit_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_cmdquit_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_cmdquit_Click
End Sub

Bware,
I typed what you suggested in the Macro Name column and MsgBox in Action and
blah.. blah.. blah..

ERROR on both:
The Key or combination in AutoKeys has invalid syntax or in not allowed.

Thanks for your reply,

George

Are you sure you want to use ALT F4?
It is a system function to close the active window.

If you want it to do  ALT  FILE   Exit  use:

%(FX)     or  %FX

later,

Hi Guys,

I know this very simple but I cannot figure out.

I want to add ALT F4 to my AutoKeys macro and view a message box "Please use
the Exit button on the main menu to exit..."
My main objective is to force the user to use my Exit button on the main
menu.

Can anyone tell me the syntax? I tried %{F4} but it doesn't work.

TIA,
George
