Making the minimized Excel window icon flash
I was using the Application.OnTime event to write a simple macro i
Excel XP that would display a message box 10 seconds from when th macro was run. After starting the macro, I would minimize the Excel window, and wante the icon on the taskbar to flash when the message box came up. I wa wondering: how do you make the minimized Excel workbook icon flash? (I remember that, although I don't have my old workbook, I created macro similar to the one above in Excel 97 on a Windows NT 4.0 machin and I didn't have to write any extra code to get it to flash.) Thanks in advance, A -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
Making the minimized Excel window icon flash
I used xl97 and winnt 4.0 at work and I don't recall having to do this. I use
xl2k and win2k and that excel icon flashes in the taskbar when there's a dialog/msgbox to dismiss. But maybe something like this will force it: AppActivate Application.Caption (but the simple msgbox in a minimized window made the icon flash in win98.)
