Minimizing a user form

[Sudhakar]

Hi,

I am creating a userform via run-time using the following
code. How do I change the showmodal property to "false"
in this case. I know to change the property if the
userform is created in design mode.

Option Explicit

'Passed back to the function from the UserForm
Public GETOPTION_RET_VAL As Variant

Function GetOption(OpArray, Default, Title)
Dim TempForm 'As VBComponent
Dim NewOptionButton As Msforms.OptionButton
Dim NewCommandButton1 As Msforms.CommandButton
Dim NewCommandButton2 As Msforms.CommandButton
Dim TextLocation As Integer
Dim X As Integer, i As Integer, TopPos As Integer
Dim MaxWidth As Long
Dim WasVisible As Boolean

' Hide VBE window to prevent screen flashing
Application.VBE.MainWindow.Visible = False

' Create the UserForm
Set TempForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add
(3)
TempForm.Properties("Width") = 800

' Add the OptionButtons
TopPos = 4
MaxWidth = 0 'Stores width of widest OptionButton
For i = LBound(OpArray) To UBound(OpArray)
Set NewOptionButton =
TempForm.Designer.Controls.Add("forms.OptionButton.1")
With NewOptionButton
.Width = 800
.Caption = OpArray(i)
.Height = 15
.Left = 8
.Top = TopPos
.Tag = i
.AutoSize = True
If Default = i Then .Value = True
If .Width > MaxWidth Then MaxWidth = .Width
End With
TopPos = TopPos + 15
Next i

' Add the Cancel button
Set NewCommandButton1 = TempForm.Designer.Controls.Add
("forms.CommandButton.1")
With NewCommandButton1
.Caption = "Cancel"
.Height = 18
.Width = 44
.Left = MaxWidth + 12
.Top = 6
End With

' Add the OK button
Set NewCommandButton2 = TempForm.Designer.Controls.Add
("forms.CommandButton.1")
With NewCommandButton2
.Caption = "OK"
.Height = 18
.Width = 44
.Left = MaxWidth + 12
.Top = 28
End With

' Add event-hander subs for the CommandButtons
With TempForm.CodeModule
X = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines X + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines X + 2, " GETOPTION_RET_VAL=False"
.InsertLines X + 3, " Unload Me"
.InsertLines X + 4, "End Sub"

.InsertLines X + 5, "Sub CommandButton2_Click()"
.InsertLines X + 6, " Dim ctl"
.InsertLines X + 7, " GETOPTION_RET_VAL = False"
.InsertLines X + 8, " For Each ctl In Me.Controls"
.InsertLines X + 9, " If ctl.Tag <> """" Then
If ctl Then GETOPTION_RET_VAL = ctl.Tag"
.InsertLines X + 10, " Next ctl"
.InsertLines X + 11, " Unload Me"
.InsertLines X + 12, "End Sub"
End With

' Adjust the form
With TempForm
.Properties("Caption") = Title
.Properties("Width") = NewCommandButton1.Left +
NewCommandButton1.Width + 10
If .Properties("Width") < 160 Then
.Properties("Width") = 160
NewCommandButton1.Left = 106
NewCommandButton2.Left = 106
End If
.Properties("Height") = TopPos + 24
End With

' Show the form
VBA.UserForms.Add(TempForm.Name).Show

' Delete the form
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Remove
VBComponent:=TempForm

' Pass the selected option back to the calling procedure
GetOption = GETOPTION_RET_VAL
End Function


Thanks,
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar

Usually like this:

Userform1.Show vbModeless

hope it adapts to your code, have not tested it in that context, sorry.
