Hi Marie -

Gotcha. You need to use a different technique to put the chart onto the userform.
Stephen Bullen shows how to do this by copying the chart as a picture (not bitmap)
and pasting the clipboard contents into the userform's image control:

Hi,

I'm awfully sorry, I should have been better explaining my question. It is
more of a userform question than a chart question - maybe. The code i showed
is lokated in the userform code and the userform is a kind of "chart
viewer" to show charts in the userform as picture. I have some buttons in
the userform etc to move between the charts, but didn't mess my question
with that.

The other option I'm thinking of is using a empty chart fullsize chartarea
or a worksheet with a chartobject filling the whole / most of the cells in
the view.

Please Jon, or any other - feel free to give answers to any of the choices
above., as long as it is a code proven to work well...

Kind regards

Hi Marie -

After this line, resize the Plot Area:

Set CurrentChart = Blad102.ChartObjects(ChartNum).Chart

like this:

With CurrentChart.PlotArea
.Left = 0
.Top = 0
.Width = CurrentChart.ChartArea.Width
.Height = CurrentChart.ChartArea.Height
End With

You may need to adjust slightly, to allow room for the legend, chart
title, or axis titles.

Hi there,

I have this code in a userform and get with it a picture in the same size
as the chartobject - to small. I want a much larger (fill the screen as
much as possible). I can easily solve it by changing size of the
chartobject before export to gif, but i dno't want to do that. I want to
change the size of the gif during or after importing it by LoadPicture.

How?

Help = Forever happy

/Regards

Dim ChartNum As Integer

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Debug.Print "frmPPT initilize "
ChartNum = 1
UpdateChart
End Sub

Private Sub UpdateChart()
Set CurrentChart = Blad102.ChartObjects(ChartNum).Chart

' Save chart as GIF
Fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "temp.GIF"
CurrentChart.Export Filename:=Fname, FilterName:="GIF"

' Show the chart
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(Fname)

End Sub
