In our last post article, we discussed about Provide Minimize\/Maximize Buttons in VBA Forms (Macro)<\/a>.\u00a0 In this lets take this a step ahead and see about adding icons to the VBA forms.<\/p>\n

Using Icons Properties in Visual Basic forms we assign meaningful icons to the forms. But this property doesn\u2019t exist while designing VBA forms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to add the Icon to VBA form; kindly follow below code snippets.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Add the Image from the toolbox on the Form and set its Name property to Img Icon.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Variable declaration in the main module file.<\/p>\n

<SNIP>
\nPublic Declare Function FindWindow Lib “user32” Alias “FindWindowA” _
\n(ByVal lpClassname As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
\nPublic Declare Function SendMessage Lib “user32” Alias “SendMessageA” (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
\nPublic Declare Function DrawMenuBar Lib “user32” _
\n(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
\nPublic Const WM_SETICON = &H80
\nPublic Const ICON_SMALL = 0&
\nPublic Const ICON_BIG = 1&
\n<\/SNIP>
\nNow let\u2019s add the Icon to the form.
\nStep 3: Define method \u201cAddIcon\u201d in the user form.
\n<SNIP>
\nPrivate Sub AddIcon()
\n‘Add an icon on the titlebar
\nDim hwnd As Long
\nDim lngRet As Long
\nDim hIcon As Long
\nhIcon = Me.ImgIcon.Picture.Handle
\nhwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, Me.Caption)
\nlngRet = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, ByVal hIcon)
\nlngRet = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, ByVal hIcon)
\nlngRet = DrawMenuBar(hwnd)
\nEnd Sub
\n<\/SNIP>
\nStep 4: On form activation; call the method to add the Icon to the user form:
\n<SNIP>
\nPrivate Sub UserForm_Activate()
\nAddIcon
\nEnd Sub
\n<\/SNIP><\/p>\n

After execution you can notice the Icon has been added to the form.<\/p>\n

Using above mentioned instructions Icons can be added to VBA forms (macro).<\/p>\n
