gary,
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 ?

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.

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

You've lost me now.
You are creating an instance of Internet Explorer at run
time,
but
I do
not
see the connection between that and the userform.
You can place a web browser on a userform using the
"Microsoft
web
Browser"
control.
You then want to put cross hairs over that ?
Is that what you are after ?

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
End Sub


'
' not sure about this
'
Private Sub ie_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal
Shift
As
Integer,
ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
lblHoriz.Top = Y
lblVert.Left = X
End Sub


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

With lblHoriz
.Height = 1
.Left = 0
.Width = Me.Width
End With

With lblVert
.Width = 1
.Top = 0
.Height = Me.Height
End With


set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.AddressBar = False
ie.MenuBar = False
ie.Toolbar = False
ie.Width = 600
ie.Height = 750
ie.Left = 0
ie.Top = 0
ie.navigate "www.yahoo.com"



With ie

While Not .readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Wend

' I can control scroll bars with:

.document.parentWindow.Scroll 100, 200
.Visible = True

'Add cross hairs here --NOT CORRECT
Call UserForm1.Addlabel( "ie.label.lblHoriz",2, 10, 175,
20,
"")

Call UserForm1.Addlabel( " ie.label.lblVert",2, 20, 175,
20,
"")

.end with

I need the ability to allow the user to change the
cursor
to a
cross
hair
that covers the entire form that detected the mouse
event.
This
is
needed
so
user can read values along sides and bottom of form as
he/she
moves
mouse
over the form. I have been unable to find any vba code
to
do
this.

Nick,

Yes yes !! The cross hairs now move on top of the browser !! One last (I
hope) question. How do I control the scroll bar positions in WebBrowseer1
from my vba program. I used to control the IE browser object with
ie.document.parentWindow.Scroll horiz, vert

Thanks for your help,

Nick,

Sorry about the duplicate message but my connection timed out. Anyway, I
see the scrollbars are part of the frame that contains the browser. I can
manually move the scroll bars and the chart in the browser responds. What I
need is to be able to send a command from vba to do this. The following code
appears to do nothing (but it compiles).

FrameWeb.Enabled = True ' True so scroll bars can move (at least manually)
With FrameWeb
.ScrollBars = fmScrollBarsBoth
.ScrollTop = Horiz
.ScrollWidth = FVert
End With

Why not just size the browser control to fit the frame and scroll the
browser if needed.

I already have the browser occupying the entire frame but there is stil
stuff in the browser that does not normally need to be viewed (chart
parameters whcih I am already sending to the URL). I know the browser will
ALWAYS have to be scrolled because the charts have stuff at the top and left
side that needs to be skipped. It would be nice for the user to be able to
concentrate on the charts with minimal adjustment.

Gary,
Never had the need to scroll on a VBA frame before.
Seems like you have react to the Frame1_Scroll event with something like
wb.Top=wb.Top+RequestDy
but it all seems a strange implemetation to me.
