UnattendedApp

Returns True if the application is running in unattended mode, where no user-interface interaction is expected. Read-only.

Syntax: object.UnattendedApp

object
required An object expression that evaluates to an _App object. In practice this is the global App object.

In VB6, UnattendedApp returns True when the project was compiled as an unattended ActiveX server—one that is configured to run without any visible windows or interactive dialogs. In that mode the application must not display message boxes or modal forms; any attempt to do so either fails silently or raises an error. Code that might otherwise present a dialog should check this property first and substitute a non-interactive path—writing to a log, raising an error, or returning a default value—when the property is True.

Note

UnattendedApp is not yet implemented in twinBASIC. Reading the property always returns False.
