Splash Screen - How To Display While Macro Runs

Sep 27, 2011

I have a splash screen I want to display while a macro runs. I've created all the necessary code based on information from this site but have a question about where to actually put the code as all the example I've seen are based on workbook open events.

I tried placing my code

UserForm1.Show

with in the macro I waned the splash screen to be displayed during but that doesn't work. Well, it does, but not as I intended. The splash screen pops up for the specified duration as part of the macro stopping the macro, then closes and the rest of the macro finishes running.

Do i need to call the splash screen from a certain point in the macro I wish it to be displayed during? I dont want the macro to stop running while the splash screen is showing.

Splash Screen While Macro Runs?

Sep 24, 2009

I searched for this and found a few examples on splash screens, but if someone could help I would appreciate it.

Basically I have this massive macro that runs, I recorded some of it, and VBA the rest. It does a bunch of things like bringing in different spreadsheets, formatting vlookups blah blah blah... Anyway for a nice touch I was hoping that I could get a splash screen or something that will run while this macro is running in the background. How hard would this be? The macro is button driven...

Splash Screen Do Not Show Again Checkbox

Sep 27, 2009

I have a SplashScreen that is activated in the ‘Workbook_Open ‘ Event.

A CheckboxControl on the SplashScreen allows a user to disregard the screen the next time the workbook is opened.

Private Sub Splash_Screen_Activate()
If Splash_Screen.ckbx_StopSplashScreen.Value = True Then
Splash_Screen.Hide
Else
If Splash_Screen.ckbx_StopSplashScreen = False Then
Splash_Screen.Show
End If
End If
End Sub

Unfortunatley my code is not working. I was hoping for some insight into making this work. Mind you, I’m a cut and paste VBA type of person, but I do understand the concepts enough to work with it.

1.What is the proper method for coding this?
2.Which location would this code be placed – the Form itself or a Module?
3.How and where do you store the CheckBox Value to be used the next time the Workbook is opened?

Workbook Is Opened Up That Only The Splash Screen Shows

Sep 11, 2009

I have created a splash screen. Is it possible when the excel workbook is opened up that only the splash screen shows? Right now, the workbook opens and there is one sheet that is visible for a certain period of time and then the splash screen comes on. I would like the reverse to happen. First the splash screen and then the one sheet.

Delete Splash Screen UserForm & Code

Sep 4, 2006

Some time ago (not sure how long ago) I created a splash screen that comes up when I first load a particular workbook. There was only one worksheet in the workbook and at that time the data in the worksheet was not so relevant and hardly ever used. That workbook name is "Employees" and the worksheet name is "EmpData".
Subsequently, the worksheet ("EmpData") in the workbook "Employees" has became relevant to a new workbook named "Payroll" I created. This workbook is used all the time. It had four different active worksheets.

I realized last week that the data in "EmpData" was very relevant to the work in the "Payroll" workbook so I copied "EmpData" worksheet in it's entirety to the "Payroll" workbook as a fifth worksheet using the same name as before, "EmpData". Now each time I open the "payroll" workbook the splash screen shows up and hangs around for several seconds or longer. It has become quite irritating and I want to delete it.

Removing Blinking Cursor From Textbox On Splash Screen?

Feb 2, 2014

how to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?

Open Workbook - Hide Sheets/splash Screen

Oct 6, 2009

I have a workbook that has worksheets that serve as data input pages for the user.
I have control boxes created by the forms toolbar.

I created a splash screen that is to be launched when the file is opened.
Instead, often the last sheet that the user was on when they last saved the file (usually but not always the worksheet called "Main Menu") is seen first.

I understand that not all the sheets can be hidden - that one must be unhidden.

So I created a sheet called "Background" that is a solid color with no gridelines.

Objective:

When the file is opened, I want the "Background" sheet to be seen first and then the splash screen to be initiated.

Now - when the user opens the file, the Main Menu worksheet is seen for a few seconds (or whatever the last sheet was on before it was last saved), then it disappears and the solid background screen is shown with the splash screen. When the splash screen ends, the "Background" sheet disappears.

Here is the code that I have in the workbook

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook
If wks.Name "Background" Then
wks.Visible = False
End If
Next wks
End Sub

What has to be changed so that the first sheet that is seen upon opening the file is the "Background"; then the splash screen happens; then it returns to the Main Menu sheet?

Session Timer 10min Splash Screen Warning Then 15min Force Close

Feb 16, 2009

Hi, The purpose of this macro was to control the time this excel file was open because many users modify it. I decided to create a splash screen (userform) to display a message to the user saying "your session time of 15min is up"

The problem is, the first time I open the file everything works fine. But after I close it (just the workbook not excel), It opens itself for some reason and gives me a debug error message. Perhaps the timer is never stopped?

I call "StartTimer10min" on workbook open and "StopTimer" before workbook close.

VBA / Display Screen On Opening Workbook?

May 3, 2013

I have a great bit of code for a spreadsheet I'm working on by a board regular called Norie;

The code is;

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveSheet.Name "ThankYou" Then
Worksheets("ThankYou").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Application.Goto Worksheets("ThankYou").Range("A1"), True
Cancel = True
UserForm1.Show

[code]....

When I open the workbook it shows for about 1 second another sheet in the workbook rather than just instantly showing the "START" tab.
Is there any way to get over this to make this code 100% perfect?

I just really would love upon opening this workbook for the sheet that 1st comes into view to be the START SCREEN TAB, without any flash preview of another sheet.

Prevent Display Of Hyperlink Screen Tip

Feb 19, 2009

I'm working with text boxes in Excel that have hyperlinks attached to defined names on a worksheet. Basically just to navigate around a large sheet.

They work fine, but when the mouse is hovered over the text box it automatically displays the address of the defined name, which looks messy and I want to get rid of it.

I have tried inserting a single space in the screen tip box, but that displays a small rectangular box. I have also tried "" hoping nullstring maybe interpreted as not to display, but it instead displays the speech marks.

Has anybody done this before? I've seen it done, but I have no idea how the model creator did it.

VBA Display Both Screen Resolutions For Dual Monitors?

Jun 26, 2014

I am trying to create a macro that checks and displays the screen resolution for both the Main monitor and the secondary monitor.

Currently I have this code that displays the resolution on the main screen only:

Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics32 Lib "User32" _
Alias "GetSystemMetrics" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Sub ScreenRes()
Dim lResWidth As Long
Dim lResHeight As Long
Dim sRes As String
lResWidth = GetSystemMetrics32(0)
lResHeight = GetSystemMetrics32(1)
sRes = lResWidth & "x" & lResHeight
MsgBox sRes
End Sub

However I want to then display another message with the secondary display's resolution (or on the same message box).

Excel Camera Tool - Print Preview Different From Display On Screen

Nov 27, 2012

I have place a camera-picture of a table on the right side of a chart. On the screen it looks great! (See below - with some redaction)

Problem Example.png

.... but when I print it the table expands off of the side of the chart. Scale is 100%, zoom is 100%, Excel 2010 (See below - with some redaction). Whether or not I have a print area does not seem to make a different in the problem. Also, it appears that this happens with any shape I put in that place, it's not specific to the camera tool.

Create Search Facility That Will Run On Variable Functions And Display Information On Screen

Dec 23, 2013

I have an excel file with a large amount of employee data in it and want to create a search facility that will run on variable search functions and display the information on the screen

I want to be able to enter variable search functions as follows:

Employee Number; shows all information on employee
Division: shows all employees in division (possible from a list of all divisions)
Appraisal Eligibility : Applicable shows all the applicable employees
Job Role: shows all the employees with the same job role (possibly from a drop-list of all roles)

I know its easier in Access, but all records in Excel as a legacy and don't have time to create an access database currently.

Variables That Will Retain Value After Workbook Closes?

Aug 5, 2014

I need to create a variable that will be TRUE/FALSE based upon whether the user has made changes to a certain range without running a specific macro. Basically, if they change cells in a certain range, the 'Update' macro must be run. I want this variable to be False if the cells have changed without running 'Update' and then when 'Update' runs, it sets the variable back to True.

I've been able to make this work with a Public variable, but if the user closes the workbook, the variable resets to False. Is there a way to create a variable that will be remember even if the workbook closes?
