need a progress bar for status bar

[funkymonkUK]

Hi

I need a progress bar that will be used in the status bar. Somethin
like the one that runs when you open a really big workbook or one lik
when it calculates your worksheets. Is there any vba code that would d
this jobe nicely. I know the application.statusbar.value = "Creatin
sheets" but would perfer a more meaningful % complete.

I am using excel 2000 but my client will most likely be using excel 97

i know there was a way as it used to be under the Excel Tips menu bu
now it just seems to be empty

Hi i used the following code to clear my sheet at the same time i din't
wanted my application screen to be static, so i introduced a progress
bar which counts from 0 % to 100% and then ask just a moment to display
result modify the progress bar code as u r requirement.

For I = 1 To 501
For J = 1 To 7
mywb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(I, J).Value = Null
MousePointer = vbHourglass
Next

Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
Picture1.BackColor = vbWhite
Picture1.ForeColor = vbBlue
Picture1.ScaleWidth = 100
Picture1.DrawMode = vbNotXorPen
direction = 1
Timer1.Interval = delay
Timer1.Enabled = True

'for progress bar

Static progress As Long
Dim txt As String

If direction = 1 Then
progress = progress + barStep
If progress > Picture1.ScaleWidth - barWidth Then
progress = Picture1.ScaleWidth - barWidth
direction = -1
End If
Else
progress = progress - barStep
If progress < 0 Then
progress = 0
direction = 1
End If
End If
If (k < 100) Then
k = k + 1
txt = k & "%"
Picture1.Cls
Picture1.CurrentX = (Picture1.ScaleWidth - Picture1.TextWidth(txt))
\ 2
Picture1.CurrentY = (Picture1.ScaleHeight -
Picture1.TextHeight(txt)) \ 2
Picture1.Print txt$
Else
' if it takes more than 100 loop
txt = "One moment please..." ' txt = k & "%" '
Picture1.Cls
Picture1.CurrentX = (Picture1.ScaleWidth - Picture1.TextWidth(txt))
\ 2
Picture1.CurrentY = (Picture1.ScaleHeight -
Picture1.TextHeight(txt)) \ 2
Picture1.Print txt$
'Picture1.Line (progress, 0)-(progress + barWidth,
Picture1.ScaleHeight), Picture1.ForeColor, BF
End If

There's one on my site that runs in the status bar for 97 and as a proper
form in 2000.

Hi Tom,

the progress bar is working, but how to achieve that while my code will run
the progress bar is growing till 100% exactly the same time?

For example my code is opening another workbooks, get some data, then close
these workbooks. So I want to achieve that while these action are
administrated the progress bar will exactly that time grow?

thanks the demo seems to work however how do I incorporate it into m
coding?

I do not have a loop

this is my main sub

' This composes the Old and New Data to run in one easy step
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Temp").Visible = True
Application.StatusBar = "Getting Last Years Figures"
getolddata
Application.StatusBar = "Getting Current Years Figures"
getnewdata
Application.StatusBar = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Sheets("Temp").Visible = False
Sheets("main").Select
MsgBox "Report is complete.", vbInformation
End Su

 

[Guest]

have you written the code to update the progress bar?

If you have and still don't see it, then add in a

Applicaton.ScreenUpdating = True

and/or Doevents

after updating it.

Dim PB as clsProgBar
Set PB = New clsProgBar

With PB

.Title = "Processing"
.Caption1 = "Getting last year's figures"
.Show

End With
PB.Caption1 = "Getting current year's figures"
PB.Progress = 50
PB.Finish
Set PB = Nothing
