Userform Image Control and embedded images
Howdy,
I have created a couple of Userforms that contain image controls. Given that not everyone will have the images in the same path (or at all) I wanted to include them on a worksheet. I have named the images, but how do I load them into the Userform(s)? It appears the only way is to navigate to the location on the harddrive. TIA, Tim |

See Stephen Bullen's site:

Userform Image Control and embedded images
Tom,
Thanks for the link, I have reviewed that in the past, in addition to JWalk. It seemed to me that a good portion of what they were doing was creating the picture in the first place. I was hoping that since the pictures exist already, that loading them would be easier. I guess the short answer is to reference the picture, copy it to clipboard or create temp image and then load it.

Yes, you would only need to use the code from the point the image is in the
clipboard. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "tim" wrote in message ... Tom, Thanks for the link, I have reviewed that in the past, in addition to JWalk.

Userform Image Control and embedded images
Tim, The following is a little hard to believe, but it works... When using an Image Control on a user form, copy your picture - (Ctrl + C) In the properties window for the Image Control, paste directly into the "Picture" property - (Ctrl + V) Set the "Picture Size Property" to Zoom. Adjust the size of the Image Control. Jim Cone San Francisco, USA "tim" wrote in message ... Howdy, I have created a couple of Userforms that contain image controls.

Jim,
Hard to believe or not, it appears to do the trick. I did try Copy/Paste into the image control itself, never would have thought about into the path. I wonder what the Achilles heel is for this method. Regards, Tim "Jim Cone" wrote: Tim, The following is a little hard to believe, but it works...

Userform Image Control and embedded images
Tim,
" I wonder what the Achilles heel is for this method." Good question - however, I've sent add-ins, using this method, to all parts of world without problems. I didn't invent the technique, I believe it is Jim Rech that the credit belongs to. Regards, Jim Cone San Francisco, USA "tim" wrote in message ...

This method is also mentioned in JWalk's XL2002 Power Programing w/VBA
(p386), albeit briefly. Regards, Tim "Jim Cone" wrote: Tim, " I wonder what the Achilles heel is for this method."

The limitation is that you would never change the image in your application.
If that is your situation, then this should work for you. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "tim" wrote in message ...
