Disabling Procedure

-----------------------------------

Hi,

I am doing a vb program in which I want to disable a produre. Basically I have a Call statement. Then I have an if statement in the proceudre. What I want to do is if the If statement inside the procedure has been run once, it should disable and never be run again. I am not sure if this can be done.

Please help

sounds like a bad programming practice... but... if you must...

sub myProcedure(flag as boolean)

if flag then
end '// should exit the procedure. Not sure on syntax.
end if

print "flag was false, procedure is running

end sub

Re: Disabling Procedure

Private Sub Proc()
    Static blnDisabled As Boolean
    If blnDisabled = True Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
    If  Then
        
        blnDisabled = True
    End If
End Sub
Once the code in the If statement has been run, the procedure will be "disabled".  You can move blnDisabled = True outside of the If statement to always disable the procedure regardless of the conditions, if that's what you wanted.

^ good code.
If you are looking to turn off the button that is calling the procedure use:
btnWhatever.Enabled = False
at the end of the sub
