Drawing on UserForm Title-Bar and adding some cool formatting

[Jaafar Tribak]

Hi dear forum,

I am posting here some code that I have been working on in recent days. The code allows users to apply the following cool-looking niceties to their userforms:

1- Change the color of the Non-Client Area and optionally, add a gradient fill.
2- Change the Font of the caption text , its color, size ...etc.
3- Add a frame shadow.
4- Add an icon on titlebar.

I made a similar attempt a while back wich I posted here but the code was incomplete and didn't work on some computers - I hope this one does.

Because the code subclasses the userform, I added a safety routine to prevent potential crashings should an unhandled run-time error occur.

Workbook Demo.

Thanks BlakeSkate .. I am glad ypu liked it ...

Did you try the code in Windows 32 Bits or 64 Bits ?

Hello Jaafar,

I always enjoy your creativity with the Windows API. This is both entertaining and educational. The SubClass procedure for the UserForm is brilliant. I had never thought to add new properties to a Window to save and retrieve information for later use. Seems so obvious now. Thank you for posting this code and for your dedication to helping others improve their knowledge and skills.

 

[Jaafar Tribak]

Small correction:
Added a brieve Repaint upon Userform activation

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
    Me.Repaint ' Step required on some machines.
End Sub

Workbook download updated as well

This looks pretty cool. I downloaded the workbook, but the userform just behaves normally, with no fancy formatting of the title bar.

Windows 8.1 64-bit and Excel 365 32-bit (latest Insiders build).

Hi Jon, Thanks for looking at this.

Hard to tell. I tested the code in Windows7 32-bit Office 2007, Windows7 32-bit Office 2010 32-Bit and in Windows10 64-Bit Office 2016 64-Bit.

The code works fine in all of the above .

The thing with API coding is that it often needs readjusting for different Windows\office versions.

 

[Jon Peltier]

I'm no expert in Windows APIs, but I can usually figure out how to make these adjustments. However, I couldn't navigate through the code. I usually got an error about the hook already being set, even the first time opening the dialog after restarting Excel.
