I have a userform where I need to have the entire form visible on screen of any computer excel runs on. The size of both the form and the various controls/text in the userform need to be resized.

This is something that I of course never considered as an issue, thinking excel would do this automatically. Instead, it only shows a part of the form depending on which computer I run it on.

I'm curious how this script would work. How does the script know how you want your Userform Resized?

If your userform now is 4 inches High and 4 inches wide for example how does the script know how you want it now resized.

And how can it resize a Option Button for example or a Combobox ?

If I have 40 controls on my Userform how would this script know how to reposition and resize all these controls? Without just using Scrollbars.

If you are so curious about Jaafar 's brilliant code ...

Why don't you just test it ...???

I'll be the first to tell you that this is totally over my newbie head.

I pasted the code in a new module (using Excel 2016, windows 10 64 bit). And I put the code in my userform, so it's called upon initiation. Doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Of course, I'm handicapped by ignorance so I don't really know how to use it. One of the things that seems curious is in the module I pasted the code in, several lines are highlighted in red.

Private Declare Function WindowFromAccessibleObject Lib "oleacc" (ByVal pacc As IAccessible, phwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function DrawMenuBar Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

Not sure what this means.

Any general pointers would be much appreciated. Obviously, this is brilliant work and I don't know what I've done to keep it from working as intended. I do appreciate your post.

Hi medic5678,
I commented out all the errors on windows7 64bit, excel 2013 and it works very fine.

The only issue is that it opens up by default as full screen. Is there a way to customise the default size?

Any help from anyone will be appreciated.

Hi Jaafar, I've seen your codes for resizable userforms in several threads, but can't seem to get them to work. Even if I download the workbook you attached, the userform is not resizable. I can't drag any of the sides. I use Office 365 for clarifications sake. Any idea how I can get it working for 365?
