shape object on a userform?
 

I want to create a UserForm1. On the UserFrom I want to create a Trapazoid
shape object and three text boxes. The text boxes would define the trapazoid
height and both lengths. When the user inputs a new number in the text box
the trapazoid shape would change size.

Is this possible?

If I could get the shape drawn on the UserForm I believe I could code the
rest. TIA.

It is not trivial to draw on a UserForm. It may be possible to do with some
complicated API programming, but there is no direct way to do it.

As Vasant says, you can't draw, but you might get away with using a control,
lile a label

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Label1.Width = TextBox1
Label1.Height = TextBox2
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBox1.Text = Label1.Width
TextBox2.Text = Label1.Height
End Sub

Hi Patrick:

If I understood the OP correctly, a trapezoid has angled lines, so I don't
think a Label control would work.

Hi,

As the other guys have said it's not straightforward.
But you may find you can make use of the techniques I use in my example.
