I have the following code to play a sound 20 times:
Sub PlaySound() Do While Counter < 20 Counter = Counter + 1 Call sndPlaySound32("c:\windows\media\Ding.wav", 0) Loop End Sub However, I want to replace the counter with a message box, asking the user to click OK to stop the sound. The loop is to continue until OK is clicked, so; Do While Counter < 20 Becomes; Do Until ' the user responds to the message box. I can create the message box no problem, and can even get the response to exit the code correctly, but can't keep the sound looping while waiting for a response, as the code gets as far as the message box then stops and waits. Alternatively I thought of running the loop until a user enters a given value in a cell (something like "Do Until B1 = 15". Syntax is wrong, but you see what I mean!), but of course the user can't interact with the workbook while the code is running. Having the user hit ESC to stop the code (and hence sound) works, but isn't exactly elegant as it brings up the VBA error box, offering to debug etc. Any ideas? |
