I have a message box as follows:
MsgBox "This will delete all staff data and re-import data from the HR file. Are you sure you want to continue?", 36
which will give Yes and No buttons. I want the macro to continue if the user clicks Yes, and to stop if the users clicks No. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm just a humble accountant trying to teach myself some basic VB :)
I have a datagridview and in the _CellValidating event I am checking a cell to make sure it is filled in. If it is not, I want to stop editing, display a msgbox, and highlight the particular cell. Here is my code :
If e.ColumnIndex = 2 Then
If e.FormattedValue = "" Then
If Me.dgvFish.IsCurrentCellDirty Then
MsgBox("Sample Number is a required field.")
[code]....
For some reason, I can't get the cell's backcolor to be filled in.
I'm have a program (GUI) that interfaces with excel to execute macros. We're using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to call/run the macros and this works great.What I can't figure out is a good way to cancel the macros from the GUI.One idea we had was to use the excel.application variable that runs the macros to write a "stop" value to a specific cell in the workbook, and in the macros (they are all mostly loops), check for the "stop" value in that cell. This crashes my GUI with this The program '[2188] BVLReports.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -336589910 (0xebf00baa).And excel gets tied up, and won't respond. I know how to Exit Sub from within the macro if the "stop" value exists, so I don't need answers on how to check/cancel from inside the macro. Any ideas on a better way to write this "stop" value or a better way to cancel the macros externally?

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I have a simple application that use thread pool to read a file and input the data into a listbox. I want to be able to stop threadpool from running after clicking a stop button. How do I stop threadpool? Here is the code for my application below:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Private Delegate Sub StringDelegate(ByVal text As String)
[Code]....
I created a form and have the variable inputs for 4 motor run statements. Then with a start button the script starts and it is surrounded by a for next statement to loop 10 times. It works fine but if i need to stop the execution of the script with a stop button. I put the stop in a new section but of course does not work to do a motor stop. It just causes the exe to not respond till the loop is complete. Just need to be able to stop the Run1_Click button section.
Edit:I do not mind if it finishes the 4 motor run commands and then stops execution of the loop. So need to figure out a way to trigger a stop from a button on the form to stop the cycle. For the future the loop will be a variable integer input so 10 will not be the standard.
Edit::Does a ' Do ' statement sound like the thing to use? If so how and where would I place that? Have a Stop button on the form and it would stop after the 4th motor run command.

I have a START and STOP button and when the user clicks "start" the program does a whole bunch of calculations and all. However, I noticed that when I was testing the program I clicked STOP the program continues to execute stuff.
My START code is basically a while loop that iteratively does some calculations.
So I just put a boolean variable as the while condition and when user clicks stop its set to false and when user clicks start its set to true. However, when I click stop, the condition is set to false yes but it still executes all the code until the condition is re-evaluated right...so my question is how can I get out of the while loop when user instantly clicks "stop"?

Private Sub RunExcelMacros(ByVal Path As String, ByVal MacroName As String)

And to use it just call the udf with the 2 parameters like below
RunExcelMacros("c:MyExcelBook.xls", "TheNetMacro")
just remember that you have to have an excel sheet with a macro named TheNetMacro or any other name you want to give it.

View 1 RepliesI need to make a difficult makro.When the makro has been activated (will happen via a button), it has to add a header and a footer to the document.Also page1/frontpage needs a different header and footer than all the other potential pages.So far, I have accomplished making page1/frontpage to work - somewhat.I did this by recording a makro, where I'd enable headers and footers, write the needed data and then stop recording.Afterwards I edited the coding so it would fit a little better. Mostly it was junk-code cleanup.

View 5 RepliesI call an Access macro from vb.net like so: Acc.DoCmd.RunMacro("Macro1")
The Macro in Access has many OpenQuerys and Msgbox with a message saying "data done" at the end.
When I execute the macro from vb.net, it shows the data done message and then done. However, when I analyse the table's to see if data has been appended, it hasen't.When I run the same macro from within Access, it works fine. It does show many messages like "You are about to run an append query that will modify data in your query" and I hit yes and does take slightly longer, but it does do it. In VB.NET, the only message I get is the final messagebox.

In my Sheet1, i will be having a data From column A to F and in Colunm D (The Red one) it will be empty, The data can be 10 rows or might be more the 60 rows sometimes and in Column I i will have some more Data.
Now i need a macro where in sheet 2, Automatically the Lines from Column A to F should get pasted and it shlould take the Column D from column I. Once the Total line are pasted the it should go for next list of Column I.
Exm: IF i have 50 lines in Column F and in Column I i have 5 lines Then i should get the result of (50x5=250 lines) 250 lines each of 50 as per Column I.
I'm creating a macro in excel using vb?What the macro is doing is checking if the row and column headers are same, and if it is then I want it to save the row header (the date in this case) AND the value (a number) into an array, and this is done in a for loop and goes on.... I dont know if I should use 2-D array or a 1-D array that stores 2 values....Not sure at all !Then after the outer most FOR LOOP is done, I want to print those values stored in the array.
Here is what I have so far, this works actually however i'm using 2 seperate arrays, one to store the row header (the date) and another array to store the value. But really I want to make it simpler, shorter and use only one array that stores both of these values as we go through the for loop and at the end of the for loop, all the values from beginning which are stored can be printed out.
Here is my code :
Sub Test ()
Dim sys_arr() As String ' declaring the array to store the values
Dim sys_date_arr() As String 'declaring the array to store the dates
[code]....
This totally works but with 2 different arrays, all I want is just 1 single array (not sure if it is 2-dimensions or still stays as 1 dimension but with 2 different variables)... and then the array can store the date and variable correspondant to the date, and goes to the next row, and do same thing... So the output results should be like for eg :
2/12/2010 37
2/13/2010 41
2/14/2010 66
and so forth

When I try to access the Macro IDE or open MyMacros I get the error: Vsaenv: Cannot find one or more components. reinstall the application. I have reinstalled (rebuild in place) VS2010 Pro - didn't help.
After the error the IDE goes away for a while and sometimes crashes and sometimes it returns to the code IDE. If I try again as often as not VS crashes hard. On reload it looks like it is going through rebuilding settings.
I have seen a few programs one in particular, that runs like a macro but it doesn't take over/control your mouse. Instead it uses a secondary, what you could call virtual mouse. It constrains the mouse to the form and then uses this 'secondary' mouse to run the macro without controlling your other mouse. This way you can browser the internet, or whatever else without being disturbed by the running macro.
Does anyone know what this is called? May someone please give me a tutorial on how to use it,
I already know how to check what buttons/mouse event have been issued by the user. What I need to know is how to reissue those commands at the same intervals. Reissuing the commands is easy to do, but issuing them at the same intervals as I have done? Not so easy for me.
So let's just say I press LMB one minute after I press a button that starts recording what I've done, then RMB 15 seconds later, if I wanted to click Playback and it would do these actions at the same time that I did them after pressing Record, how would I make the program issue the commands at those specific times?
I have created a project in VB2005, and I am using ms access 2003 as the database. I have created a report in ms access and I have also created a macro. I have added the following code to open the macro, but when i click on the button to call the procedure I get the following message:
Dim Adb As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application()
Adb.OpenCurrentDatabase("C:program filesSupport DeskAccessdatabase.mdb")
Adb.DoCmd.RunMacro("Macro2")
When I run the code, and I call the procedure to call the Macro, nothing happends, I don't get an error or anything, what a my missing? The macro does exist.
What is missing is a way that when I give a print click on the quantity of copies informed skirt with sequential numbers without repetitionex.: 10001, 10002, 10003
View 2 RepliesI am trying to setup a macro to lookup a value. Its very basic, I am trying setup a sheet to build tariff requests for mobile phone deals. so on sheet i will have lots of macro boxes that simply pubulate a table with a value on sheet 2.

I am really new at writing macros and want to keep them simple, but can't quite get this one to work. Here it is:
Sub HighLight()

switch = Not switch[code].....
I created a toggle button and assigned this macro to it. However on the first click of the button, it only executes the first half of the macro--highlighting the requested cells yellow. Yet, when I click the button again, it does not turn the cells back to the un-highlighted state. From querying the web, most examples use the If-Then-Else.This is a macro that I got off the web and it works beautifully (and simply written):
Sub ToggleHideRows()
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("H:H")
If cell.Value = "X" _[code].....
I was trying to write the first macro to act in quite the same manner as the second macro. Also, with the first macro I would like to add "cell.Offset(0, -7)" along with "cell.Offset(0, 2)".
