Did you do:
UserForm1.Show 0

So did you load the form as a modeless form?
A modeless form means you can do things outside the form (like doing things
in the sheet) while the form is loaded.
It doesn't work with a normal modal form, not sure now if it can.

Thanks for the help.

I copied your codes to my file, but I still did not get the buttons on my
UserForm1.

This is simplest code to add those buttons:

Dim hwnd As Long

'this is not really necessary, vbNullString will do

strFormType = "ThunderXFrame"
End If

hwnd = FindWindow(strFormType, strFormCaption)
lngStyle = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
lngStyle = lngStyle Or WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
lngStyle = lngStyle Or WS_MINIMIZEBOX

SetWindowLong hwnd, GWL_STYLE, lngStyle
DrawMenuBar hwnd

End Sub


Sub LoadForm()

Load UserForm1
UserForm1.Show 0

AddMinMax "Userform1"

End Sub

Tom,

Thanks very much. The FormFun is very interesting. But the codes are
too
complicated for me to adopt. I just want to have the bottons on the
form
once
the form is initialized.

Anyway, I apprecite your help.

download FormFun.zip

uncompress it. Run/look at the code. Use the class module.
