scripting - How to tell if feature is being created or being edited?

TereseRowekamp

I'm using VBscript. Is there a way to tell in my form load code if the edit form is being opened because the user is editing an existing feature vs creating a new feature?

Yes:

Dim thisform = Application.Map.Layers(lyrname).Forms('EDITFORM')

If lyrform.Mode = 2 Then
    Application.MessageBox('Form open for editing')
Else If lyrform.Mode = 3 Then
    Application.MessageBox('Form open for new feature')
End If

My vb is rusty, but you should get the picture.

Thanks James. I eventually figured it out and got my code working as needed, but it's good to get the answer out here, too.

You know James, I've looked before trying to find where I check a reply as the answer and I never noticed the grayed out checkmark until right now when I looked again. Sorry I didn't mark your answer before!
