Detecting Cancel button in CommonDialog control

Question

In VB6, if I press the Cancel button on an Open File dialog box, my filename is still added into my listbox.

For example:

Private Sub btnImportImage_Click()
    DailogOpenFile.ShowOpen
    If Trim$(txtEmailAttachment.Text) = "" Then
        txtEmailAttachment.Text = DailogOpenFile.FileName
    Else
        txtEmailAttachment.Text = txtEmailAttachment.Text & ";" & DailogOpenFile.FileName
    End If

End Sub

It looks like you're using the CommonDialog control? If so, you need to set the CancelError property to True and then test for an error afterwards. For example:

Private Sub btnImportImage_Click()

    DailogOpenFile.CancelError = True

    On Error Resume Next
    DailogOpenFile.ShowOpen

    If Err.Number = &H7FF3 Then
        ' Cancel clicked
    Else

    End If

    ...

End Sub

Of course, you can also jump to an error handler:

Private Sub btnImportImage_Click()

    DailogOpenFile.CancelError = True

    On Error GoTo MyErrorHandler
    DailogOpenFile.ShowOpen

    ...

MyErrorHandler:
    ' Cancel was clicked or some other error occurred

End Sub
