Excel application main window background
Hello All,
Is it possible to add some picture or logo in Excel main window background ? I found many tutorials on Internet but all regards excel sheet or workbook background but I mean Excel application main window background not workbook . How achieve it ? Basically.., NO! Excel is a MDI application and so when no files are open there is nothing in the 'main window' to display. The only way to change the background of the application window is to ask MS to build this option into Excel (or MS Office in general), like they did with the application 'skin' color. I've seen this in some apps where we can customize (entirely or partially) the UI with available options/tools. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

Technically speaking XLMAIN and XLDESK are registered classes and it should be possible to change background using WINAPI. |

Do you really think this OP wants (or is capable enough) to go there? Not to mention that, unlike the UI Skin, this would need doing every startup! It would be easier to impliment a 'backdrop workbook' that opens whenever Excel starts so there's no default (Book1) open. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |
