1. Dialog Boxes – Day 1
 Built-in Dialog Boxes
 Input Box
 Message Box
 Custom Dialog Boxes – User Forms

2. Form Controls
 Built-in boxes
 Form: overall rectangle
 Controls: tools used to make box function
Form
Title: form property
Label
Text Box Command Buttons

3. User Form Design
 Decide what data to collect
 Design form layout
 Select form tools
 Write code to use data
 What event triggers?
 How is data used?
 Write macro to display form

4. Data Collection
 Data types
 Text
 Numbers
 Yes/No
 Exclusive options
 Lists
Text Box
Check Box, Toggle
Frame, Option Buttons
Combo Box, List Box
 Choose control to fit

5. Example: Temperature
Convert °F to °C
 Decide on Inputs
 Name
 Temp, °F
 Determine Output
 Name + °C
 Determine action
 Event – button?
 Psuedocode
Display Name,
Temp in °C
Start
Get Name,
Temp in °F
Convert °F to °C
End

6. Example: Temperature
 Pseudocode
Ask for user’s name
Ask for temp, °F
DegC = (DegF-32)*5/9
Display name and DegC Display Name,
Temp in °C
Start
Get Name,
Temp in °F
Convert °F to °C
End

7. Temperature
Form Layout
Name
Temp, °F

 Use form to collect inputs, display output

8. Insert User Form
Form name
Form properties

9. Form Tools
 Label
 Text Box
 Command button

10. Object Names
 Text Boxes
txtName
txtDegF
 Labels
lblOut
 Buttons
cmdOK
 Object and variable names
must be different!
User Form Objects

11. Action Code
 Event Driven
 Form events tied to object on form
 Double-click object to add code
 VBA selects name based on form object
 Form holds data, does nothing
 Code tells VBA how to use it
 Data called by object name
 Assignment statements tell use

12. Action Code

13. Form Process
Ron

14. Display Macro
 Form won’t appear until its called
 Need a macro
 Goes in module, not form code
 Need name of form
 Only one line of code
Sub ShowForm( )
MyForm.Show
End Sub

15. Hiding Forms
 You choose when
 After code runs
 Separate button
 Two forms
 MyForm.hide – form still active
 Unload MyForm – closes form
 Unload Me
