Status bar text

Anonymous — Thu, 22 May 2003 04:56:49 GMT

Hello,
Can someone suggest a way of making status bar text stay there for about 3
seconds. I've creatde a toggle units macro and I display the new units of
measure in the status bar, however if you blink you will miss it.

PauseTime = 5
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
ThisApplication.StatusBarText = "Test Me"
Loop

This will make it stay for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds it will disappear if
you move the mouse.

oops

PauseTime = 5
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
DoEvents
ThisApplication.StatusBarText = "Metric Units Set"
Loop

Add the DoEvents line otherwise you can't click on anything for 5 seconds...
