Sets or returns a PpAlertLevel constant that represents whether Microsoft Office PowerPoint displays alerts while running a macro. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.DisplayAlerts

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Return Value
PpAlertLevel

Remarks

The value of the DisplayAlerts property is not reset once a macro stops running; it is maintained throughout a session. It is not stored across sessions, so when PowerPoint begins, it reset to ppAlertsNone.

PpAlertLevel can be one of these PpAlertLevel constants.
ppAlertsAll All message boxes and alerts are displayed; errors are returned to the macro.
ppAlertsNone Default. No alerts or message boxes are displayed. If a macro encounters a message box, the default value is chosen and the macro continues.

Example

The following line of code instructs PowerPoint to display all message boxes and alerts, returning errors to the macro.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Sub SetAlert Application.DisplayAlerts = ppAlertsAll End Sub
