Hi,

I found the following piece of code to scroll through a userform (Not listboxes or comboboxes but the length of the actual form).
I have a multipage userform, when i use the code it allows me to scroll using the mouse wheel however wen it scrolls its just shows a grey area as if there was no content below what was visible on the screen when the userform was opened (hope that makes sense).

Can anyone help sort the problem out?
Perhaps i need to state the length of the form I want to scroll or something?.. I've honestly no idea but i'm hoping some of the excel wizards on here will know of a solution.

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Mike

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You will need to calculate the value (Top+Height) of the bottom-most control on the userform and set the ScrollHeight Property of the userform to that value.

Hi Jaafar,
In the properties tab of the userform i have the scroll top=0 and scrollheight=5500... is there something else i should be doing?

many thanks,

As I said, locate the bottom most control you have on the userform, add the control Top value to the control Height Value and then set the userform ScrollHeight Property to that value

Hi Jaafar,

I appreciate your help, i did as you suggested. Initially my scrollheight was set to 5000, using your method it is now set at 4950 but it changes nothing.
When i scroll its almost like it has taken a screen grab and the area visible on the userform srolls but the unseen area below doesnt appear, it just scrolls down into grey.
If i click and drag the scroll bar then i can see it all fine, its only when using the mouse wheel that i have the issue.

Are you able to upload a sample of your workbook to some file sharing website and post a link here so we can take a look ?

Jaafar i managed to sort it, i made a proper stupid mistake!
I hadnt put the "hookformscroll me" command in the multipage change, just the userform initialize so it was just scrolling through the userform without taking into account the multipage.

Phew, thats a relief!
Thank you so much for your support and help,

Mike
