UserForm - Stop updating the caption after I click on.

[Alex St-Pierre]

Hi,
I display a userform with a progress bar (from 0% to 100%). The progress bar
is displayed correctly until I click on the form. When this happens, the box
and the percentage freeze (not responding). The macro continu to run
correctly but it doesn't update the percentage thereafter. Is there something
I can add to the macro below to update the caption or the userform?
Thank you!
Alex

Sub ProgBar(ProgressLevel As Variant, ProgLabel As String)
DoEvents
With UserForm3
If IsNumeric(ProgressLevel) Then
.Caption = fPercent(CStr(Round(ProgressLevel, 0)))
.LabelPROGBAR.Width = (UserForm3.Width - 0 *ProgressLevel/100

.LabelPROGBAR.BackColor = RGB(0, 255 / 3, 255)
Else
.Caption = ProgressLevel
End If
.TextBoxPROGBAR.text = ProgLabel
.Repaint
End With
End Sub

Your code progress bar seems to work OK for me, I can't recreate the problem
of the label not redrawing.

Don't think you need both DoEvents and .Repaint. Doevents allows a smoother
redraw but might have some negative consequences if user activates a control
that starts something else. Simply setting a global boolean to exit control
events while work is going on might be enough.

Hi Peter,
When the user click on CreateReport, it open a form with a progress bar and
a cancel button. I use DoEvents to catch the Click on the Cancel button of
the UserForm3. I'm wondering if there's an other way to catch the Cancel
click by setting a global boolean to exit control? This should avoid the non
responding message of the DoEvents.

I used .Repaint to refresh the display of a listview. So, in this case, it
is not necessary (I'll remove it).
Thank you!

Form1:
Private Sub CreateReport_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
Load UserForm3
UserForm3.Show
End Sub

Form3:
Private Sub CommandButtonCancel_Click()
Call EndReport(True)
End Sub

Private Sub Userform_Activate()
Call CreateWordReport("NotUsed")
Call EndReport
End Sub
