vba - DoEvents, Waiting, and Editing -


i have set of code contains:

application.wait (now + timevalue("4:00:00"))

this pausing macro 4 hour window 3 (when finishs running code) till 7 (when should resume). code on endless loop essentially.

i want user able have control during time edit cells. have tried

doevents

but have not found way keep macro running, yet provide control user during time when macro doing nothing waiting.

any insight appreciated. thanks!

edit:

one more followup question. created macro reference actual macro "production_board". want macro run time , refresh possible. using goto startagain, tries start launch macro again before macro has started due "ontime" delay interval.

how make sub runmacro start again second macro "production_board" finishes?

sub runmacro startagain: dim hour integer dim ot string hour = 0 ot = "empty" hour = sheets("calculations").range("dr1").value ot = sheets("black").range("d4").value if ot = "y"     if hour = 3 or hour = 4     application.ontime timevalue("05:00:00"), "aespire_production_board"     else     application.ontime + timevalue("00:00:30"), "aespire_production_board"     end if else     if hour = 3 or hour = 4 or hour = 5 or hour = 6     application.ontime timevalue("07:00:00"), "aespire_production_board"     else     application.ontime + timevalue("00:00:30"), "aespire_production_board"     end if doevents goto startagain

instead of wait, try ontime. demonstrate, paste in normal module , run test. range a1 of active sheet increment every 5 seconds , you'll able work in between. works if in edit mode when 5 seconds elapses:

sub test()     test2 end sub  sub test2()     activesheet.cells(1, 1).value = activesheet.cells(1, 1).value + 1     application.ontime + timevalue("00:00:5"), "test2" end sub

note ontime statement @ end of sub calls sub again recursively. here's more info.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
