SpinButton To Change a Variable in a Running Macro ? / MS Word

[KenWit]

Is there a way increase or decrease a variable in a running macro on a userform with a spinbutton on a userform.

e.g. the value of X which controls the speed of a macro . . .

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click ()
For Each w In Selection.Words
w.Font.bold = True
For i = 1 To X [default X = 1000] / spinbutton1.value
Debug.Print i
Next i
w.Font.bold = False
Next w
End Sub

. . . by using a spinbutton, so that when a user clicks the spinbutton the value of X changes in the running macro and its accorded speed? (So words in a document are bolded faster or slower.)

I couldn't even begin to guess how this might be done, if it's even possible?

Where/when do you currently set the value of X?

 

[KenWit]

Both places. In the properties of the spinbutton and in the macro, X = 1000, (So the spinbutton starts out at the same place.)

 

[KenWit]

Simple solution, if anyone is interested. You just code the spinbutton like this:

Private Sub SpinButton1_Change()
Static X As Integer
X = SpinButton1.Value
End Sub

Then stick "X = SpinButton1.Value" into your macro in several different places so no matter when you click the code will fetch the value.

One last thing is to set the Delay in the SpinButton's property to 0, so it acts immediately.

It's not a perfect solution. The spinbutton acts a bit oddly at times creating more of a change in value than it is set for.
But it does more or less work.
