How can I eliminate blinking scrollbars?
 

I have a VBA from which uses scrollbars to scroll data through a grid of
text boxes (not associated with a frame or the form its self). The problem
is that when they get focus, they flash. Very Annoying!. I have not found
anyway to stop this, so I tried shifting focus to another control during the
Change event. This works if the Scrollbar value only changes once (single
click). If the user scrolls any longer, the value of the scrollbar
increases, but then it keeps the focus leaving the user with a blinking
scrollbar. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help here...

Hi,

I'd start by trying

application.screenupdating=false

'your code
application.screenupdating=true

Didn't do anything. Still has focus, still blinking.

Any other ideas??? I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Tony,
You can eliminate the thumb (the part that flashes) by setting
the LargeChange property to a value greater than the Max property
and setting the ProportionalThumb property to True.

Of course that isn't always what you need, but other than setting the
focus elsewhere I am not aware of a way to keep it from flashing.

Thanks, may have to settle for this. I had set the PropThumb property to
false so that the thumb was smaller and therefore less annoying. Your
suggestion is better anyway.

Thanks,

Tony

Here you go...
 

Try this:

Create a subroutine called ScrollBar1_GotFocus by first selecting the sheet containing the scrollbar in the VBA Project Explorer window. In the right half of the screen, above the code section are 2 drop-down boxes. In the left hand box, select "ScrollBar1" then in the right hand box, select "GotFocus" This will create the subroutine definition for you. Now, simply add the following to that subroutine:

Selection.Select


When you click anywhere on the scrollbar (giving it focus), it will immediately give focus to whatever cell was previously selected when you release the mouse button.
