How does one convert vbyes / Vbno to boolean in VBA Excel?
This code displays a msgbox and asks a question. The result get returned in a VbMsgBoxResult and I then convert it to boolean.
Dim gobox as VbMsgBoxResult
dim go as boolean
gobox = MsgBox("Question?", vbYesNo, "Descriptive Titel")
If gobox = vbYes Then
go = True
Else
go = False
End If
Is there a easier way to convert VbMsgBoxResult to Boolean?

Maybe just
go = (MsgBox("Question?", vbYesNo, "Descriptive Titel") = vbYes)
I do not think so. VbMsgBoxResult is an enumeration with seven values.

yes, just have a look in the object browser (press F2 in the VBE for that) and search for VbMsgBoxResult.

I guess you could also use
go = MsgBox("Question?", vbYesNo, "Descriptive Titel") - 7 as vbYes = 6, vbNo = 7, True = -1 and False = 0 (I'll add that I wouldn't as the answer given is easier to read).– Darren Bartrup-Cook

Yeah that works.. Still not sure if there is a way to really convert them into oneantoher without the comparison.. But definetly much shorter.
