Can I programmatically simulate clicking the 'stop macro' button in the VBE?

[Alan]

Can I simulate the clicking of the stop button in the VB Editor using
VBA?

Thanks,

Alan.

Hello,

For effect, you could use the The End Statement. See:

It's use is typically frowned upon.

I have never used the stop button, but if you want to just stop code
execution, use Ctrl + C, Esc, or Break key.

Hi Alan;
You can try:

DoEvents
Application.VBE.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=228).Execute

Sorry, misread your post. (I actually couldn't find a stop button, but
Michael interpreted it as the Reset button). What are you trying to
achieve.

For me, I needed to put the DoEvents after the Execute command.

Yes Tom, you are right.

Hi Tom,

I have a spreadsheet with some event driven code (worksheet change
event specifically). This is also a shared workbook.

Occasionally, a user gets a 'Document Not Saved' message when they try
to save. I believe that this is being caused by an event driven code
somehow hanging or getting into some kind of loop, stopping the user
saving.

We are reviewing the code, but in the meantime, I wanted to give the
users a way to effectively click on 'reset' in the VBE (without having
to know anything about the VBE), to stop / reset any runnning code,
and effect a save.

I have used the line supplied by Michel
(amended to include a
'Do Events' after it as you suggested in reply to that posting, so I
will see if that gets the users saving again next time it occurs.

Thanks,

Alan.

Hi Michel,

That looks to be exactly what I need.

Thank you very much.

Alan.
