Syntax

        
          intRet = object.AlertResponse
      
        
          object
          .AlertResponse = intExpression

intRet

Integer. Zero (0) to display alerts to the user and allow the user to respond, or the value of the default response (see Remarks).

object

Required. An expression that returns an Application object.

intExpression

Required Integer. Zero (0) to display alerts to the user and allow the user to respond, or the value of the default response to supply (see Remarks).

Remarks

Certain operations, such as closing a document with unsaved modifications, cause Visio to display an alert or modal dialog box requesting the user to supply a response such as OK, Yes, No, or Cancel. To prevent Visio from displaying alerts or modal dialog boxes when a program performs such actions, set the AlertResponse property to a default value for the response. In this case, Visio does not display the alert or modal dialog box; instead, Visio behaves as if the user responded to the alert or modal dialog box with the value of the AlertResponse property.

If the AlertResponse property is 0 (its default value), alerts and modal dialog boxes are displayed.

The values you supply for the AlertResponse property correspond to the standard Windows constants IDOK, IDCANCEL, and so forth.
