如何在 VBA 中编写代码以获得多线程解析?
我看过这个教程,但它不起作用。
我有 10000 个站点,每个站点在 A 列的一行中。我需要至少 10 个并发线程来解析标签之间的信息,从每个站点的 index.php 中<div></div>
获取标签,然后将结果保存到 B 列中的每一行。<a>

您可以在 VBA 中使用多线程,但不能在本地使用。然而,在 VBA 中实现多线程有几种可能性:
我分析了所有这些方法,并对优缺点和一些性能指标进行了比较。你可以在这里找到整个帖子:

正如@Siddharth Rout 在他的评论中指出的那样,答案是否定的。但是稍微扩展一下,即使是看似在后台运行并启用类似多线程的能力的方法也不允许多线程。
一个很好的例子是Application.OnTime。它允许程序在将来的某个时间点运行。
此方法允许用户继续编辑工作簿,直到经过预设的时间量并调用该过程。乍一看,巧妙地使用它似乎可以使多个代码片段同时运行。考虑以下片段:
For a = 1 To 500000000
Next a
我机器上的 For...Next 循环大约需要 5 秒才能完成。现在考虑一下:
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:1"), "ztest2"
For a = 1 To 500000000
Next a
这在读取 Application.OnTime 语句后一秒调用“ztest2”。可以想象,由于 For...Next 循环需要 5 秒,而 .OnTime 将在 1 秒后执行,可能会在 For...Next 循环中调用“ztest2”,即伪多线程。
好吧,这不会发生。运行上面的代码将显示,Application.OnTime 必须耐心等待,直到 For...Next 循环完成。
虽然您不能进行真正的多线程,即在不同的内核上同时并行运行线程,但您可以通过对来自多个线程的操作进行排队来模拟多线程代码。
示例:每 600 毫秒(毫秒)运行一次 subA,每 200 毫秒运行一次 SubB,以便顺序为:SubB,SubB,SubB,SubA,SubB,SubB,SubB,SubA,SubB,SubB,...
'Create a new class Tick_Timer to get access to NumTicks which counts ticks in
'milliseconds.
'While not used for this script, this class can also be used for a millisecond
'StartTimer/EndTimer which I included below.
'It can also be used to create a pause, similar to wait but in ms, that can
'allow other code to run while paused which I prefer over the sleep function.
'Sleep doesn't allow interruptions and hogs processor time.
'The pause function would be placed in a module and works similar to the
'Queue Timer loop which I'll explain below.

Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

在一个模块中,我声明了一些全局变量。虽然我知道很多人认为使用全局变量 s 是不好的做法。我总是为全局变量使用前缀,这样它们就不会与局部变量混淆。
在这种情况下,全局变量比使用参数更有优势,因为可能需要在队列中的第一个计时器之前执行的任何时候调用新线程。
全局变量可以在任何地方更改,以便可以动态更新队列。还要考虑到几乎每个子例程都以某种方式使用队列,所以使用全局变量更有意义。

'Two strings are used to store the queue.
'The first stores only the start times of each thread in tickcounts.

'same time as the sorted launch times so they are kept synchronous.

我不是专业的编码员,所以我相信其他人可以做得更好,但它运行得相当好。大部分代码只是管理可能可以更有效地完成的队列。
除了 SetTimer,您还可以创建按计划触发的线程,使用鼠标或键盘事件,甚至在活动窗口中用于屏幕抓取像素。
当您在设计时不知道何时激活代码时,线程很有用。例如:
您为在线锦标赛扑克创建扑克 HUD+DB。一个线程可以每几百毫秒运行一次以等待触发器,例如当新手开始时,您读取最后一个 HH 并更新数据库和 hud,或者新玩家加入表并在锦标赛跟踪站点上进行自动查找。另一个线程可能每秒运行一次以更新显示在您的 hud 上的锦标赛时钟,并在级别更改之前提供 3 分钟警告等等。
您甚至可以创建一个单独的 shell 脚本来运行一个线程,该线程会自动加入您提前安排的新锦标赛,然后它可以为您玩的每个牌桌启动一个新的脚本副本。我不确定启动多个脚本副本或运行来自不同项目的脚本是否可以使用 VBA 真正实现多线程,但根据我在论坛中看到的内容,我有点怀疑。
请注意,虽然它运行时没有错误,但我做了一些更改以清理它并引入了一些我从未有机会修复的小错误。
