hWnd of UserForm
 

If I activate a UserForm in Excel, how can I access
the hWnd of that UserForm ?

hWnd of UserForm
 

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, _
ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Function hWnd() As Long
Dim hWndThis As Long
If Val(Application.Version) 8 Then
hWndThis = FindWindow(lpClassName:="ThunderDFrame",
lpWindowName:=Me.Caption)
Else
hWndThis = FindWindow(lpClassName:="ThunderXFrame",
lpWindowName:=Me.Caption)
End If

hWnd = hWndThis
End Function

You need to use the FindWindow API call. For example,

Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String)
As Long

Sub AAA()
Dim HWND As Long
If Val(Application.Version) = 9 Then
HWND = FindWindow("ThunderDFrame", UserForm1.Caption)
Else
HWND = FindWindow("ThunderXFrame", UserForm1.Caption)
End If
MsgBox HWND
End Sub

From a post by Stephen Bullen:

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA"
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias
"GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias
"SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal
dwNewLong As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function DrawMenuBar Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long)
As Long

Private Const GWL_STYLE As Long = (-16)
Private Const WS_CAPTION As Long = &HC00000
Private Const WS_SYSMENU As Long = &H80000

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()

Dim iStyle As Long

'Get the userform's window handle
If Val(Application.Version) < 9 Then
hWndForm = FindWindow("ThunderXFrame", Me.Caption) 'XL97
Else
hWndForm = FindWindow("ThunderDFrame", Me.Caption) 'XL2000
End If

iStyle = GetWindowLong(hWndForm, GWL_STYLE)
iStyle = iStyle And Not WS_CAPTION
iStyle = iStyle And Not WS_SYSMENU
SetWindowLong hWndForm, GWL_STYLE, iStyle
DrawMenuBar hWndForm

End Sub


Don't forget to add a way to close the form!
