Copy A Module From One Project To Another
There is no direct way to copy a module from one project to another. To accomplish this task, you must export the module from the Source VBProject and then import that file into the Destination VBProject. The code below will do this. The function declaration is:
Function CopyModule(ModuleName As String, _
FromVBProject As VBIDE.VBProject, _
ToVBProject As VBIDE.VBProject, _
OverwriteExisting As Boolean) As Boolean
ModuleName is the name of the module you want to copy from one project to another.
FromVBProject is the VBProject that contains the module to be copied. This is the source VBProject.
ToVBProject is the VBProject in to which the module is to be copied. This is the destination VBProject.
OverwriteExisting indicates what to do if ModuleName already exists in the ToVBProject. If this is True the existing VBComponent will be removed from the ToVBProject. If this is False and the VBComponent already exists, the function does nothing and returns False.
The function returns True if successful or False is an error occurs. The function will return False if any of the following are true:
FromVBProject is nothing.
ToVBProject is nothing.
ModuleName is blank.
FromVBProject is locked.
ToVBProject is locked.
ModuleName does not exist in FromVBProject.
ModuleName exists in ToVBProject and OverwriteExisting is False.

Eliminating Screen Flicker During VBProject Code
When you used the Extensibility code, the VBA Editor window will flicker. This can be reduced with the code:
Application.VBE.MainWindow.Visible = False
This will hide the VBE window, but you may still see it flicker. To prevent this, you must use the LockWindowUpdate Windows API function.
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal ClassName As String, ByVal WindowName As String) As Long

Find the name of a VBComponent that contains a specified procedure
The problem - you want to programatically obtain the name of the
VBComponent that contains a specified procedure. Stephen's solution
was to look for unique strings, since the VBIDE object model does
not provide functionality for doing this directly.
Sub TestIt()
MsgBox fnThisVBComponent(ThisWorkbook, "This Unique String").Name & ", " & _
fnThisProcedureName(ThisWorkbook, "Another Unique String")
End Sub
Function fnThisVBComponent(oBk As Workbook, sUniqueString As String) As VBComponent

'Loop through the VBComponents in the given workbook's VBProject
For Each oVBC In oBk.VBProject.VBComponents
'Using it's code module
With oVBC.CodeModule
'See if we can find the unique string
If .Find(sUniqueString, 1, 1, .CountOfLines, 1000, True, _
True, False) Then
'Found it, so return the VBComponent where it was found
Set fnThisVBComponent = oVBC
Exit For
End If
End With
Next
End Function
Function fnThisProcedureName(oBk As Workbook, sUniqueString As String) As String
Dim oVBC As VBComponent
Dim lStart As Long, sProcName As String, vaProcs As Variant,
vProcType As Variant
'Specify the row number of where to start the find. This is set by
'the Find method to give the (starting) line number where the text
'was found. lStart = 1
'Loop through the VBComponents in the given workbook's VBProject
For Each oVBC In oBk.VBProject.VBComponents
'Using it's code module
With oVBC.CodeModule
'See if we can find the unique string
If .Find(sUniqueString, lStart, 1, .CountOfLines, 1000, True, _
True, False) Then
'We found it, so make an array of the available procedure
'types to check for
vaProcs = Array(vbext_pk_Proc, vbext_pk_Get, vbext_pk_Let, _
vbext_pk_Set)
'Loop throguh the procedure types

'Get the name of the procedure containing the line we

sProcName = .ProcOfLine(lStart, CLng(vProcType))

This procedure contains VBA code to add to your existing VBA code --
basically, it puts one statement at the beginning of each procedure in every
module (class modules and event procedures not included). This statement is
a call to a routine (which YOU need to write) and passes the sub/function
name. For example...
Before:
Sub ABC()
Dim i as Integer
For each x in sheets
Next
End Sub
Sub xyz()
End Sub
After:
Sub ABC()
MyProc "ABC"
Dim i as Integer
For each x in sheets
Next
End Sub
Sub xyz()
MyProc "xyz"
End Sub
Notice that afterwards, there's a new line immediately after the sub. It
calls MyProc (this is changeable) and passes the name of the procedure it's
in. You can use MyProc to trace flow, track the time, etc -- you can get
creative here!
There are 2 main routines: Addit, and Deleteit. Running Addit will insert
the one-liner, running Deleteit will remove this one-liner. The code is
inserted into the active workbook.
The first line inside the VBE for AddALine.xls is:
Public Const TheProcName As String = "MyProc" '============CHANGE THIS LINE
and whatever you change "MyProc" to will be the routine called inside each
procedure of your code.
Public Const TheProcName As String = "MyProc" '===============CHANGE THIS LINE
Sub Addit()
'===========================
'RUN THIS CODE TO INSERT THE LINE INTO THE ACTIVE WORKBOOK's CODE
'===========================
AddALine
MsgBox "Done....Don't forget to write procedure " & _
TheProcName & "!", vbExclamation
End Sub
Sub Deleteit()
'===========================
'RUN THIS CODE TO DELETE THE LINE
'===========================
DelALine
MsgBox TheProcName & " has been deleted from each procedure."
