Userform - Label Caption - How to update from a variable
Hi All,
I am using a small userform (modeless) to inform the user what is happening during processing waits. This is the only code in the userform, which contains just a single label control: Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() lblPleaseWait.Caption = "Alan" DoEvents Me.Repaint End Sub If I run that form on it's own, it works fine - displaying the label as "Alan". However, if I call the userform from a sub elsewhere using this line, the label does not display the caption, it just shows a white background with no text: frmPleaseWait.show (vbModeless) I added the DoEvents and Me.Repaint after looking through this group's archives, but they make no difference to the problem. Any ideas why it won't show the caption when called from a sub? Thanks, Alan. |

message ... Not really, but you might want to save yourself some time and effort figuring it out by using this instead: http://www.enhanceddatasystems.com/E...rogressBar.htm Hi Robin, Thanks for your suggestion. I actually already found a workaround, but I was really more interested in understanding why my code does not work under one circumstance where it does under another. Do you find the same thing? Thanks, Alan. |
