blinking/flashing objects
 

How can I make an object from the drawing toolbox bar to blink/flash?

Use an ontime macro to change the color every second or half second.

See Chip Pearson's site for blinking text code.

Adapt that code to your drawing object.

Are you familiar with this code? it works but it is making conflict with
anotehr code I already have on This Worksheet View code

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = Not blnClose
End Sub

Do you know how can I fix this conflict... Chip P routine has on same view
code as follows

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartBlink
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopBlink
End Sub

which cause conflict.

Hi Alberto

Try the below...

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartBlink
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = Not blnClose
If Cancel = False then StopBlink
End Sub

If this post helps click Yes

Thanks... I think I am complicating my file too much for now... I will leave
it without the blink... I rather validate the closing.... I might try
later... your subtutine did not work for me now... I will prepare it later to
put it on the web to see if you can help me further.

Thanks
