TitleAnimate without Timers
Keywordsanimation, Timer, Do Loop, multitasking
CategoriesMultimedia
 
By Chris Wagg

This program uses a Do loop to animate a drawing without using any Timers. Some operating systems restrict the total number of Timers available and VBA has few or none.

Each loop through the code does some tests to see which of a couple of animations it should perform. Using that technique, you can animate more than one object or perform multiple tasks with a single Do loop.

See the code for details.
