    It is possible to acknowledge all alarms in the Alarms and Events Summary without the popup comment box by using the AckAll method and setting the ShowDialog parameter to False. This can be done using an Invoke command or VBA code behind a button. Even with the popup disabled, a default comment can still be included for logging.

    Question
    Although it is possible to interact with the Alarms and Events Summary object both with an  Invoke  command
    and in VBA to acknowledge all alarms, as described in 48785 ­ Alarm and Event Summary object: how to
    acknowledge Alarms using a Button (//rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48785), the
    popup message will always be pulled forward and will force the user to type a comment.

    Is it possible to avoid this?

    Answer
    Yes, the AckAll method allows, by design, to disable the popup message. The complete syntax of the method in
    the AlarmEventSummary object model is:

    Sub AckAll([ShowDialog As Boolean = True], [Comment As String])

    The ShowDialog parameter is initialized True, so if you omit the parameters the popup message will be
    displayed.

    To avoid having to type in any comment in the popup message use the syntax in the following solutions, both
    will achieve the same result.

    Solution 1
    If you would like to have the command behind a buttons press or release action, or a display key, the syntax is
    as follows:

    Invoke "Display name".alarmeventsummary1.AckAll(0,"my comment")

    Solution 2

    12/10/2016 63289 ­ Acknowledge all alarms in the Alarms and Events Summary without the popup comment

    If usingVBA, the syntax would be as follows:

    Me.AlarmEventSummary1.AckAll False, "my comment"

    this can be behind a button as well, but you will have to do the following:

    1. Right­click on the Alarm and Event Summary object, then select property panel
    2. Change the ExposeToVBA property from Not Exposed to VBA Control, then close the property panel
    3. On the button that you want the code to be behind,  right­click ­­> VBA Code...
    4. Between the Button_Released event and the end sub, paste the code above

    Note: Even if you disable the popup message you can still edit a default comment which will be tracked in the
    log viewer, as if it was typed manually by the operator in the popup message. For Example:

    Me.AlarmEventSummary1.AckAll False, "acknowledging all alarms"
