Hi all,
Here is a Magnifying Glass that you can use in Excel
I am not sure about the usefulness of it in the normal day to day use of Excel but it's cool and was challenging to programme. The actual round Glass is actually a simple XL userorm whose standard styles were changed.
Here is a workbook example : https://www.box.com/shared/c1ujurjhkt
Just point to the round Glass with the mouse and move it around the screen to zoom in. It worked on my machine quite smoothly.
Here is the code that goes in a userform :
Copy the code below in a Standard Module :
One nice touch that i haven't been able to give the magnifying glass is a frame around it so it can be more visible on the screen. Because of the round shape, framing the userform is quite difficult.
I have tested this on XL2003 Win XP French Version. I am hoping it also works for other XL versions.
Regards.
