STOP EVENT
STOP EVENT

This statement must be used in an event handler. It tells the interpreter that the event that called the event handler must be cancelled.

Only a few native events can be cancelled. This is primarily intended to allow you to supersede default keyboard and mouse behavior with your own.

Example

' My text box only accepts digits

PUBLIC SUB MyTextBox_KeyPress()

  IF Instr("0123456789", Key.Text) = 0 THEN
    STOP EVENT
  ENDIF

END SUB
