Loss of focus when recording VB macros

By Jeffrey Willits ·
I wish to record a macro in Microsoft Project 2000 that starts a companion product's macro (ProChain Solutions) and marks a checkbox in ProChain's form. Unfortunately, Project's macro recorder gives up the focus when ProChain's form is opened. Is there a trick to keeping the macro recorder recording in such a situation?

Loss of focus when recording VB macros

by DKlippert In reply to Loss of focus when record ...

You could use SendKeys.
Here?s a sample from the VB Help file:

Dim ReturnValue, I
' Run Calculator.
ReturnValue = Shell("CALC.EXE", 1)
' Activate the Calculator.
AppActivate ReturnValue
' Set up counting loop.
For I = 1 To 100
' Send keystrokes to Calculator
' to add each value of I.
SendKeys I & "{+}", True

Next I
' Get grand total.
SendKeys "=", True
' Send ALT+F4 to close Calculator.
SendKeys "%{F4}", True
