Controlling Screen Flashing Using LockWindowUpdate
Dec 15, 2008
A while back I was assisted with trying to prevent excessive screen flashing...
I was originally using the Application.ScreenUpdating=False method...but it was still a little jumpy... so Richard Schollar (a valued member in our forum) helped me with this code and it seemed to work...
Now I am trying to apply it again to another macro and it is not working so well. The thing I found is that on some people's computers it does work well, but not on mine.
Does anyone know why that is and how I can fix it so it doesn't flash on mine either?

I have attached macro code, which populates a three page template and clears the contents, so that the process can be repeated. I would like to stream line the macro which populates the template - currently there is alot of screen flickering back and forth between worksheets.

I m wondering if it is possible to cause a worksheet tab, within a workbook, to flash? What I have is a check box, that when clicked, opens up a hidden worksheet. What I would like to have happen is once the worksheet is unhidden, the worksheet tab begins to flash to show the user it is now active.

I originally posted this question with out the code I'm using. I am trying to make a specific cell flash to catch the attention of other dispatchers. The problem is when I we try to close the active page it will automatically open. The only way we can completely close the page is to close Excel completely. Doing this though also closes several other pages that we need to have remaining open.
Public NextFlash As Double
Public Const FR As String = "B3"
Sub StartFlashing()
If Range(FR).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
Range(FR).Interior.ColorIndex = x1ColorIndexNone
Else
Range(FR).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
NextFlash = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime NextFlash, "StartFlashing", , True......................

This might sound daft, but im just wondering if it is possible to Flash text 2 different colours in a cell. Cell A1 will say - - - Well done. and I want it to flash blue and red, but not use VBA to do it. Can it be done or am I wishful thinking? This would be on Office 97.

I mean to format a cell in a way that it will flash if certain conditions are met. For example : to make C14 to flash if B14>0. Different colour formatting is not enough to catch the "oldies" eyes!

I have % figures in the following cells, E20, G20, I20, K20, L20, F24, H24, J24, G28, I28, H32, F16, J16, G12, I12, H8.
These figures are the result of a formula of other cells, with constantly changing values, therefore the % figures are constantly changing as well.
What I would like to do is highlight the cell with highest % figure, ideally to 'flash', either cell colour or flashing text.

I have written some code to be executed in Sheet1 which copies formats from Sheet1 to Sheet2 and then values from Sheet 3
Sheets("Sheet1"). Range("E4:M9").Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range ("A1").Offset(9 * i + 3, 1)
Sheets("Sheet3").Range("P90:W93").Copy _
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Offset(9 * i + 5, 2).PasteSpecial _ Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
The code does exactly what I want it to do, but when Sheets 2 and 3 are hidden images of what is being pasted briefly flash up on the screen. Is there a way of avoiding this? The amount of data in the whole sheet is quite large (about 4MB), could it just be that the program is running too slowly?

When I return to a sheet by clicking on the tab of the sheet, the sheet is not immediately visible. When the sheet does become visible a cell has a black flashing background. Sometimes, but not always, the flashing cell is the activecell. Through the activate event of the sheet I attempt to make $A$1 the active cell:

After using Copy/Pastespecial in my macro, when it completes I have the flashing border around the range that was copied, (like you do when you do it manually).
What line of code do I need in my macro to make this go away?

I have a choice of 9 command buttons on a form that enter a short string of text into a textbox. Each button enters a different string into the textbox. The string is the prefix to a product serial number. Once the user has clicked the button & entered his preferred prefix I would like the cursor to be flashing after the last character ready for the user to manually type in the remainder of the product serial number. I'm guessing (with my limited ability) that I have to create a function to do this & then call the function when the button is clicked ?

At the moment I have two macros. One loads up a background picture into my work sheet
when I start it up, the other two are called ‘StartBlinking’ and
‘StopBlinking’.
This is the macro code I have to load up the picture:
Sheets("CASHFLOW + FUNDSFLOW").SetBackgroundPicture Filename:= _
"G:EH_Background.JPG"
What I hope to achieve is:
1. Get the picture to ONLY load up if it actually exists on the G:
drive, otherwise do nothing.
2. If value 1 to 13 is input in Cell C3, run the macro
StopBlinking.
3. If Cell C3 is left blank again, run the macro StartBlinking.

I am using vba to control internet explorer and return the inner html. To do this I have something like:
Dim arrinnerhtml As Variant
arrinnerhtml = IE.document.body.innerhtml
My problem is that I can’t get the meta description and keywords tags. The title tag seems relatively easy using:
Dim Title As String
Title = ie.document.Title
Is there a relatively simple way to do this for the description and keywords tags? It’d be nice if it was ie.document.description although it doesn’t seem to be. I’m obviously missing a trick here.

1: Is their anyway I can get rid of the File, Edit, View, etc buttons at the top of the document so everyone that opens it can not see them? and also the save button, the idea is they have to use the button to save the sheet.
2: I have a button on the sheet with a macro that saves the sheet once it has been worked on, the sheet flashes when this button is clicked is there any way I can stop the sheet flashing ?

how to liberate only the sheets already opened by this user, even after he/she has closed the workbook? It means that when this user re-open the workbook, only the password for this step (workbook) and of course for the sheets still closed (not yet visited), will be requested...
There will be about 20 users, accessing the same file (at least 8 or 9 at the same time), and each one has a different level. For this reason the workbook is also protected: depending on the username and password, I'm trying let excel "knows" what sheet each user can open, without type a password again. trying to illustrating: (all users and password are added by me, using a MasterSheet)
user1 ----- already unprotected sheet9 ----- can open sheet1 to 9 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet10, a username and a password are required
user2 ----- unprotected sheet3 ----- can open sheet1 to 3 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet4, a username and a password are required
............. and so on.........

I have data in an Excel worksheet that needs to be entered into a proprietary programme. I believe this is possible using SendKeys but as I need to keep switching back to Excel to get the next bit of data I am unsure as to how to go about this. The program would already be open as it is a dial up situation and I would have to dial into the relevant site first.

I am working on an Excel macro which uses the Shell function to open another application, the AppActivate statement to change focus to that application, and then a series of SendKeys statements to perform tasks for which keystrokes (hotkeys) are available. However, there is one step in the process which does not have a hotkey available, but requires clicking on a drop-down with the mouse. Is there a way to have an Excel macro "click" on something for which a hotkey is not available?

I would like to do something similar to wiL with an employee drop down list. As the user begins to type the name, the drop down would narrow the choices alphabetically or the user could select the drop down list then hit the first letter of the name and go to that letter of the list (i.e. selecting "M" to go to the portion of the list that starts with "M").

I have a spreadsheet with ~30,000 rows of data that is using the "NOW" function. The endusers are having an issue with the spreadsheet having to recalculate everytime they run a filter as the spreadsheet recalculates the formulas everytime.
Is there a way to turn the autocalculate off for this spreadsheet only when it is opened?
I need the formulas to calculate once only when the sheet is initially opened but then turned off after that. When user closes the spreadsheet, the autocalculate needs to be turned back on.

I am working on an excel sheet (2007) with about 8 pivots from the same data (huge db). The 8 pivots take a different cuts of data. One filter element is same across all pivots. (For instance let us say that filter is City names: with 10 different city values in it- NY, London, Chicago etc)
What I would like to do is have a system where I just chose NY in one place and all the 8 pivots should use NY as one of the filters and refreash the data accordingly.
What I am doing now is I got to each pivot, choose NY first and then refreash all for the data.
