WM_PAINT Handler For VBA Form 2

[YerMom]

Hello,

I'm using VBA within Word and have a form on which I draw graphics such as lines and ellipses.

However, (unlike regular VB) because there is no built-in handler for the WM_PAINT message, my graphics disappear when my form is hidden by another window.

Is there anyway to code my own event handler for the WM_PAINT message?

Thanks very much.

This is way out of my knowledge base, but could you use RDW_INTERNALPAINT with the UserForm_Activate() event? Or perhaps _Click? Mind you _Click would not fire if only the title bar is clicked. You have to click the userformitself.

When you say "hidden", do you mean by switching to another application, which covers the userform?

Have you tried to play with the Repaint method of the UserForm object ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
