Auto 'redesigning' userforms without flashes and movements

Hi All,

I have userforms that 'redesign' themselves - the layout of textboxes and labels, the size of the userform etc - depending on the value in a certain cell.

What you see when the userform 'redesigns' itself is flashes of the original size of the userform, or labels in their original position before they move, when the userform is activated.

Sometimes there is no visible movement or changes, other times it's very noticeable.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to get excel to load the userform invisibly and then just show the completed result.

I tried:

Code:
application.screenupdating = false
Load userform1
application.screenupdating = true
userform1.show

but I still see flashes of the changes as they happen when the form activates.

This is purely cosmetic as the functions are totally fine. I just like everything to be as pro and stable as possible, flashes and changes seem untidy.

Any thoughts?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Are you redisigning the form and its controls in the form Activate event ? If so try doing it in the Initialize event instead and see what happens.

Jaafar... you've nailed it!

That's exactly what it was. I had the redesign code in the activation event and when I moved it to the initialize event it opened without the 'flashes' etc.

Thanks for your help.
