No-wait-for-click MessageBox

[John Svendsen]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to continuously printout info while a macro is
running - something like a MsgBox function, but which does not stop and wait
for the user to click a button to continue.
I would think this should be easy, but I have been looking and could not
find how to do this
Thanks for your help

Johm,

Just create your own form (make it look like a msgbox) and set it to "Modal
= False".

If you're using PPT2000 and later, you could use a text box on a userform
that's invoked modeless:

frmMyMsgBox.Show False

Elsewhere, to update the text in the text box:

frmMyMsgBox.TextBox1.Text = "Here's some new text"
