Enables or disables existing modeless windows in Developer Studio.
Syntax
object**.EnableModeless**boolean
Parameters
object
An expression that evaluates to an Application object. When you use the EnableModeless method of the Application object, you can omit object because the name of the Application object is implied when you access its properties and methods.
boolean
A Boolean that specifies whether Developer Studio should enable or disable its modeless windows. Possible values are:
True Enables all modeless windows, returning Developer Studio to its normal state. Use this after an add-in has dismissed its modal dialog box.
False Disables all modeless windows. Use this before an add-in displays a modal dialog box.
Remarks
Add-ins typically use EnableModeless to disable modeless windows before displaying a modal dialog so that the user cannot click the windows while the dialog is showing.
Example
The following example reports a date:
EnableModeless False
MsgBox "The current date is " & Date
EnableModeless True
