Timer to close workbook when no activity detected

Regarding the inactivity timer that Greg Wilson was helping another user
with....

I am unable to get this code to work. Does it need a reference or is there
something missing here?

Please help.

Arlene

Uh ... show the code?

I apologize,

I thought that my message was being posted along with the original message
from this other person. Here is the code.

I haven't tested it, but it seems about right. Did you store the code in the
correct modules as suggested? If so, what happens when you run?

I had them in the wrong modules. Also, the person who submitted the code did
so a few times after changing a couple of the variables and had overlooked
changing them in every occurance. I finally got it working.

Thank you

I have an updated version if you are interested. Change the DefaultWaitTime
constant to something appropriate (minutes). It is currently set very short
for testing purposes. It typically runs longer than the set time because when
you click the button to continue working it instantly records the mouse
pointer position and you usually move it a bit while clicking so this
registers as movement.

Hi Greg,

Thanks so much! I still couldn't get it to work, so I'll try your updated
version. There is one thing that I would like to change and that is to
eliminate the ability for the user to disable the timer. How would I change
it to make that work?

To remove the option to disable the AutoClose, simply put a apostrophe in
front of the following lines contained in the last macro
MakeAutoCloseOptionsTB. This will convert them to comment text (should turn
green) and the compiler will ignore them. Alternatively delete them.

'Set ctrl = .Controls.Add
'ctrl.Caption = "Disable AutoClose"
'ctrl.OnAction = "Disable"

I copied my code from my post and pasted it respectively to the ThisWorkbook
module (Private Sub Workbook_Open) and to a standard module (all other
macros).
Except for correcting forced wordwrap caused by posting there were no
problems. (Where wordwrap causes a syntax error the lines will turn red).

There may be an issue with closing the wb without cancelling the next
scheduled appearance of the tool bar. If problems are encountered this can be
fixed. I wrote this to help someone and never use it myself so it has never
been rigorously tested.
