Nick,

The IE browser is completely separate from the User Form. The code to
control the browser resides on the user form which is kicked off from excel
after the user has set several parameters. So besides needing to put cross
hairs on the IE browser, the cross hairs need to be responsive to mouse
movements on the browser.

Nick,

The user form contains several controls to allow the user to specify what
charts he wants to see in the IE window. Once I have the inputs I
attempt
to create an IE browser window and go to the URL that will get the desired
info. I would like the cursor to change to cross hairs while it is over
the
IE window so the user can more accurately get values that are displayed
along
the borders.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for asking,

Gary

Hi Nick,

Your solution is very elegant. All I had to add was to set the label
border
style to 1 (single line) so I could see the lines. It does exactly
what I
asked. (Single one).

What I am actually trying to do is add cross hairs to an IE object set
with
the following code.

The Addlabel dies at runtime with "Run time error Invalid class
string"
which I think is due to the " ie.label.lblHoriz" not being the correct
way
to
add a label control to the IE object. I don't know what would be
correct.

Also I don't know how to make the correct event handler for the mouse
move
event while the mouse is on the IE form.

Any ideas?

Integer,

Nick,

OK, I was able to upgrade to VB 6 (still VBA part of Excel) and rewrote much
of my code so the WebBrowser1 control now resides on my UserForm1. I also
added a lblHoriz and lblVert to the UserFrom1 and did a €œsend forward€� on
each of them; I also did a €œsend backward€� to the browser. Now the cross
hairs move around the user form (I know how to adjust the length of the
lines) but the cross hairs DO NOT go on top of the browser control which is
where I need them.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your continued patience,

Gary

Gary,
I'm no expert in this (or Excel for that matter..), but this now sounds like
it has little to do Excel as such.
Whilst you can reparent IE to your userform, I see no way to respond to
mouse movements (without sub-classing or something). Also, how do you intend
to draw your cross hairs ?
I'm not clear on why you need to do this. You say "so the user can more
accurately get values that are displayed along the borders".
So what do "get values" mean ?

I hope that makes sense.

You then want to put cross hairs over that ?

Hi Nick,

Your solution is very elegant. All I had to add was to set the
label
border
style to 1 (single line) so I could see the lines. It does
exactly
what I
asked. (Single one).

What I am actually trying to do is add cross hairs to an IE object
set
with
the following code.

The Addlabel dies at runtime with "Run time error Invalid class
string"
which I think is due to the " ie.label.lblHoriz" not being the
correct
way
to
add a label control to the IE object. I don't know what would be
correct.

Also I don't know how to make the correct event handler for the
mouse
move
event while the mouse is on the IE form.

Any ideas?

Dim ie as Object

Sub Addlabel(strControl As String, intLeft As Integer, intTop As
Integer,
intWidth As Integer, intHeight As Integer, strCaption As String)

Dim mycmd As Control

Set mycmd = Controls.Add(strControl)
mycmd.Left = intLeft
mycmd.Top = intTop
mycmd.Width = intWidth
mycmd.Height = intHeight
mycmd.BorderStyle = 1
If strCaption < "" Then
mycmd.Caption = strCaption
End If
mycmd.Visible = True

Nick,

I tried what you suggested (Browser inside Frame that is disabled) but no
difference. The cross hairs do not cover the frame either. The user might
want to get control of the browser which I could accomodate with a button I
could add on the UserForm.

Whilst you can reparent IE to your userform, I see no way to respond to
mouse movements (without sub-classing or something). Also, how do you intend
to draw your cross hairs ?
I'm not clear on why you need to do this. You say "so the user can more

Nick,

The IE browser is completely separate from the User Form. The code to
control the browser resides on the user form which is kicked off from
excel
after the user has set several parameters. So besides needing to put
cross
hairs on the IE browser, the cross hairs need to be responsive to mouse
movements on the browser.

Sorry, forgot I had changed the 2 x labels to 2 x frames.
Also, make sure the frame containing the browser is behind the 2 frames;
right-click on the frame's border and "Send Backward".

Nick,

Yes, I even added "Frame1.enabled = false" to no avail. The cross hairs
go behind the frame.

Any ideas ?

Gary,
That works for me.
Sure you have Frame1.Enabled=False ?
You can have a button to toggle the .Enabled state of the frame.

Nick,

I tried what you suggested (Browser inside Frame that is disabled) but
no
difference. The cross hairs do not cover the frame either. The user
might
want to get control of the browser which I could accomodate with a
button
I
could add on the UserForm.

Whilst you can reparent IE to your userform, I see no way to respond
to
mouse movements (without sub-classing or something). Also, how do
you
intend
to draw your cross hairs ?
I'm not clear on why you need to do this. You say "so the user can
more
accurately get values that are displayed along the borders".
So what do "get values" mean ?

Nick,

The IE browser is completely separate from the User Form. The
code to
control the browser resides on the user form which is kicked off
from
excel
after the user has set several parameters. So besides needing to
put
cross
hairs on the IE browser, the cross hairs need to be responsive to
mouse
movements on the browser.

Gary,
But you are attempting to draw cross hairs on IE that is
completely
separated from your userform and Excel ?
Or you do have a web browser control on your userform ?

Nick,

I reread your last reply and you said I needed to disable the browser as
well as the Frame. How do I disable the browser ? I'm suspicious becaue the
cross hairs in no way cover the frame right now.

Gary,
No need to disable the browser as it's container (the frame) is disabled.
Did you replace the cross hair labels with frames ?
And ensure the browser's frame is furthest backward ?
