How to Change Error Message when no Incoming Connection is Available

[Mstead]

I have created a macro and would like to change the error message that shows if no incoming connection is available yet. Currently, it shows "[Name of Tool missing incoming connection]: Missing Incoming Connection". Is there any way I can change this error so that it says "No Incoming Connection Available" or something along those lines?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello @Mstead!

If I understand your situation correctly, you may find the following Community article helpful: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/CS-Macro-Dev-Conditional-Processing-with-Det....

However, when you get to the 'Bypass if NULL' process, you can add a Message tool to create the error message you want.

Hi Wayne, Thank you for your help!

Your link helped me actually come up with a simple and elegant solution that takes a bit of a different direciton. Instead of using the detour methodology, I was able to add a list box and error message tool to have the error show up as I expected. See below:

Nice work @Mstead!  Glad I could at least provide some direction.
