Launch userform on specific monitor

[HOGAN2023]

Hello,

I use 3 monitors in Windows extended desktop configuration (2x 24" and 1x 15" laptop screen).

I'd like to be able to choose the monitor on which my userform will be launched in full screen mode.

A listbox or 3 buttons named respectively "Monitor 1", "Monitor 2" or "Monitor 3" can do the trick.

I tried but failed with the solutions proposed by @Handyman84 and @Jaafar Tribak on this post : New window, move to second screen (using VBA).


Another solution would be to move the userform on the monitor where you want it to launch in full screen mode.
But how do you do this?


I'd really appreciate your help

Thank you very much.
Vincent

This is untried here because I have only a single monitor. See if it works for you :

Sub Launch_UserForm()
'--Addresses Dual Screen problem by launching Userform in Maximized Application
'  --TopLeft position saved in Userform Properties at Design Time are used
'  --in relation to Maximized Application

    Dim lDsnLeft As Long, lDsnTop As Long
    
    With Application
        If .WindowState <> xlMaximized Then _
            .WindowState = xlMaximized
    End With
    
    With UserForm1
        '---Read UserForm Settings saved at Design Time
        lDsnLeft = .Left
        lDsnTop = .Top
      
        .StartUpPosition = 0
        .Left = Application.Left + lDsnLeft
        .Top = Application.Top + lDsnTop
        .Show
    End With
End Sub

Don't work unfortunately

Can you elaborate?

Can you elaborate?

Actually, it works in a way, maybe the OP didn't set Left and Top properties so it pops-up top left.
But the OP actually wants to be able to select at runtime a screen on which to display the form. So it's a bit different. For example I am using 3.

Which assuming that your monitors are arranged horizontally should just be a matter of setting the Left property to the desired location, no?

As a simple shortcut/workaround I guess it can sort of work up to a point, especially if the form has to be maximised.
But then you have some unknowns - which screen holds your application window? each screen size? And assuming horizontal layout, landscape orientation ...
