Excel VBA DisplayAlerts

Excel VBA DisplayAlerts is a method that is used to turn on or turn off the display of alert messages in Microsoft Excel. Alert messages are displayed when there is an error or any other event occurs that requires attention.

Syntax

Application.DisplayAlerts = True|False

• True: Enables the display of alert messages.
• False: Disables the display of alert messages.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to disable the alert messages when deleting a sheet from an Excel workbook.

Sub DeleteSheet()
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False ' Turns off alert messages. 
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Delete
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True ' Turns on alert messages.
End Sub

In this example, the DisplayAlerts method is used to turn off the alert messages displayed when the sheet named "Sheet1" is deleted. Once the sheet is deleted, the DisplayAlerts method is used again to turn on alert messages.

Conclusion

Excel VBA DisplayAlerts is a powerful method that can be used to control the display of alert messages in Microsoft Excel. It can be used to improve the user experience by disabling alert messages during certain operations. However, it is important to ensure that alert messages are not turned off permanently, as they can be helpful in identifying errors and other issues in the workbook.
