MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / March 2008Hidden Userform
Excel 2003 Win XP I have a large (physically) userform one control of which calls another (smaller) UF. Sometimes the smaller form, when called, appears on top of the larger one which is the required result. However sometimes it is beneath or hidden by the larger one which is not the required result. If I minimise the larger form, move the smaller one to where part of it is visible when the larger one is maximised again, then click the smaller form itself, (not a control) then all the form is on top of the larger one. I have tried repaint to no avail. How can I ensure the smaller form, when called, always appears on top of the larger one. Could I click the smaller form programmatically. donwb Is it necessary for both userforms to be open at the same time? If so, you might play around with their positions when they are initialized. Or maybe you should consider a different type of Userform control (page or tab feature) to encase everything you need on the main form. If it is not necessary for them both to be open at the same time, I would highly recommend hiding one whenever the other is initialized.

That's the "guaranteed" fix. But I had hoped to keep the main form visible all the time. There must be some way....... donwb > Is it necessary for both userforms to be open at the same time? > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> Could I click the smaller form programmatically. >> donwb Have you played around with the FOCUS features?

Then I tried to set the focus to one of the form's controls, as in UserFormXX.CommandButtonYY.SetFocus and although that was accepted, the UF stayed hidden behind the large one. donwb > Have you played around with the FOCUS features? > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >>>> Could I click the smaller form programmatically. >>>> donwb What about the SHOWMODAL properties? Maybe they can help with this problem... Mark > I did try to set the focus on the smaller UserForm but > UserFormXX.SetFocus was rejected.
