I've poked around the forum and not found a complete answer, so I
apologize if this is redundant or obvious. What I'm trying to do is write a macro that will "copy" chart properties (sizes, , fonts, axes scales, etc.) across charts. I was planning to use a prototype chart as the source for these properties; then as the user clicks on subsequent charts, each one gets the properties of the prototype. When the user clicks on a cell, the macro should end. Thanks to Jon Peltier, I have created a chart events class that allows trapping of events in embedded charts. I wrote code that sucessfully changes global boolean variables if a chart is selected (b_chart_select = true) or a cell is selected (b_cell_select = true). What I'm stuck on, though, is how to "wait" for a user to click on another chart. It seems that user events (such as selecting a chart) are not detected while code is running. Here's a snippet of code: Do Until b_cell_select = True 'when this is true, user has clicked on cell to end loop While b_chart_select = True 'when this is true, the user has clicked on a chart 'set chart properties b_chart_select = False DoEvents Wend DoEvents Loop However, while these loops are running, the chart_select and selection_change events are not registered. This makes me think that the correct approach would be to have some stand-alone macros, such that when a chart is selected, a macro is called. What confuses me here is how to pass chart properties from the prototype to the newly selected chart. If the macros are stand- alone, then any variables I have used to hold the prototype's properties will not be available when the user clicks the next (target) chart. Any thoughts would be most appreciated! Cheers, JP |
