This menu command, when invoked during the recording of a macro, displays the Insert Prompt dialog box, allowing you to specify a user prompt in the execution of your macro script. A message box will prompt the user before the macro proceeds to the next command.
Type
of Prompt
This area provides three options for prompts that can be inserted into
a macro:
Input
data, display
When this option is selected, a message box with the text specified
by Enter text for prompt and
a field for user-entered text is displayed. This option corresponds
to the MsgBoxGetInput function.
Input
data, non-display
When this option is selected, a message box with the text specified
by Enter text for prompt and
a field for user-entered confidential text is displayed. Confidential
user-entered text (such as passwords) is not displayed in the field.
This option corresponds to the MsgBoxGetPassword
function.
Message
only, no display
When this option is selected, a message box displays only the text
specified by Enter text for prompt.
This type of message box can be helpful in debugging macros or displaying
useful information to users. This option corresponds to the MsgBox function.
Enter text for prompt
This field specifies the text string that will appear on the message box
displayed during the execution of the macro.
