Progress Bar

J

John

I was looking at a previous post to get a progress bar to work while running
a lengthy macro. Below is the post on how to incorporate the progress bar
into your code. That works fine expect for one thing. There is a cancel
button on the progress bar, and when it is pushed the rest of my code
continues running. How do I end my code if I press cancel on the progress
bar?

It would look something like this

Sub Main
Dim PB as clsProgBar
Set PB = new clsProgBar

'if your subs are being called from a userform, hide the form first using
Me.Hide
With PB

.title = "some title"
.caption1 = "Executing, this may take a while"
.caption2 = "Doing task 1"
.show
doevents

end with

Sub1 x,y,z
pb.progress = 10
pb.caption2 = "doing task 2"

Sub2 a,b,c,d
PB.progress = 20
pb.caption2 = "doing task 3"

'etc,
'and at the end

Sub10
PB.finish

'if called from a userform, show the form again, using me.show
End Sub


Again, How do I end my code if I press cancel on the progress bar?

You need to look at the class module and see what it does when the cancel
button is pressed. It will probably set a property, or could be changed to
set a property. You will need to then read this property in your code and
stop the execution.

Bob,

Here is the class Module code... any ideas thanks again for the help.

I've had a look at Robin's site and the whole demo.

What he does is to declare a Public variable of type Boolean in the module
that does the work, your code module. The form sets that variable to True if
the Cancel button is pressed.

You need to test that variable in your code, and when it becomes true, you
exit.

Thanks for the help Bob, but I am new to VBA and don't even know what half of
the things you said are. Could you give me an example? That would help
alot. Thanks.

Doesn't help me, I don't have that App.

But ...

Try adding this before your code

Public UserCancelled As Boolean
 
J

John

Well that doesn't help either... no matter if it is before the code, in the
code, anywhere...

Thanks for the idea.

Seems like it shouldn't be to hard to tell the code to stop running... but I
will look more.

Please feel free to help!

Greg Wilson

Point 1:

Rob van Gelder has two progress bars at his site that don't have Cancel
buttons:
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~robree/excel/

I have my own. Mine replicates the raised (e.g. toolbar) and sunken (e.g.
textbox) 3D special effects but is entirely constructed of Excel drawing
objects - i.e. it looks like an ActiveX control but is native to Excel. For
simplicity, I suggest using one of Rob's. If for some reason they arn't
suitable, you're welcome to try mine.

Point 2:

Your code appears that it could be greatly abbreviated. Instead of repeating
the Application.SendKeys "{Tab}" line I believe either of these two options
will work. You'll have to experiment:
i) Application.SendKeys "{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}....."
ii) For i = 1 To 10
Application.SendKeys "{Tab}"
Next

Regards,
Greg

Robin Hammond

John,

I missed this yesterday. Thanks for the help Bob. It is very simple, and
would go something like this:

'this goes in your main module
Public UserCancelled As Boolean

Sub ProgBarDemo()
Dim PB As clsProgBar
Dim nCounter As Integer
Dim lWaitCount As Long

Set PB = New clsProgBar
With PB
.Title = "Enhanced Datasystems Progress Bar"
.Caption2 = "This is caption 2"
.Caption3 = "This is caption 3"
.Show
For nCounter = 0 To 100
.Progress = nCounter
.Caption1 = "Progress message " & CStr(nCounter)
For lWaitCount = 0 To 1000000
If UserCancelled = True Then GoTo EndRoutine
Next lWaitCount
Next nCounter
EndRoutine:
.Finish
End With
Set PB = Nothing
End Sub

Alternatively, if you do not want to display the cancel button, when you
initialise the class in the code above, just do this

With PB
'add this line
.DisableCancel = TRUE
'rest of your code here

Post back if you are still having trouble.

John

Robin, thanks for the help.

I am getting the following error when I try to run the macro now.

Compile Error:
Ambiguious Name Detected: UserName Cancelled

Do I have a command in the wrong place?
 
B

Bob Phillips

That is because you have defined it (at least) twice.

Do a search and delete one. The one that you need should be a Public Boolean
variable, declared at the start of a module, outside of any macro.
 
J

John

Bob,

That took away my error, Thanks. I still cannot use the cancel button... I
press it, and the code then does the sendkeys commands into my excel workbook
rather than quitting the code itself.

Sorry this is seeming to be a bigger issue than it should be.

Thanks again.
 
J

John

No, unless a prompt comes up and gives the option to debug... then it
highlights the bad command line in yellow.

My code is not doing that... it runs, but as I said, it doesn't end the sub
if cancel is pressed.

Where should this command line be placed in the code?
If UserCancelled = True Then GoTo EndRoutine:
 
R

Robin Hammond

John,

The serial structure of your code means that you will have to test several
times. In the longer term if you are going to build Bloomberg based systems,
you might want to have a look at their api. I think you can find details in
their help section somewhere.

In the meantime, your code would go something like this:

Public UserCancelled as Boolean

Sub BloombergCall()

Dim PB As clsProgBar
Set PB = New clsProgBar
With PB
PB.Title = "Performing Searches in Bloomberg"
PB.Caption1 = "Searches are running, please wait..."

I'm also sure that you could get that serial code into a loop, simplifying
the problem

Option Explicit

Public UserCancelled As Boolean

Sub BloombergCall()

Set pb = New clsProgBar
With pb
pb.Title = "Performing Searches in Bloomberg"
pb.Caption1 = "Searches are running, please wait..."
pb.Show
DoEvents

'initialise everything
AppActivate ("1-BLOOMBERG"), 2

Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 7)

Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 7)
