VB UserForms

I am just learning how to create userforms using VB code in PowerPoint. In
all the resources I have found on the web I have not been able to find one
that shows how to get what I create on a userform in the VB editor to show up
in a presentation. The closest example I have is this but it still does not
show during show mode in powerpoint. It does work if I hit run sub/userform
in the VB editor though. Any suggestions?? Also any insightful links for VB
beginners specific to using VB in Powerpoint is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Image2.Picture = Image1.Picture
End Sub
Sub ShowForm()
UserForm2.Show
End Sub

Assuming you have a form named UserForm2, your Sub ShowForm should do it, but
something has to force IT to run.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm2.Show
End Sub

Not necessary. Accessing anything in the form implicitly loads it.
But the code to Show it has to run.

Like I said, I am new to VB, as in I have been using the help function for
two days to figure out what I know. So by load statement you mean......?

I understand that what Steve wrote would create a command button that when
clicked would show the form, but how would I write it so the form would show
right away when you open PPT in show mode, to make it always visible. Like a
command that makes userform2 open when PPT show mode is initialized....er
something.

Thanks for the help.

If you want, you can load forms into memory without showing them using the Load
statement. For big, complex forms on old slow computers, this can save time; when
you Show the form, it's already in memory.

But Show by itself both loads and shows the form.

I understand that what Steve wrote would create a command button that when
clicked would show the form, but how would I write it so the form would show
right away when you open PPT in show mode, to make it always visible. Like a
command that makes userform2 open when PPT show mode is initialized....er
something.

You can either create an event handler and add code so that it only does something
when your particular show is loaded or, much much simpler, you could put an action
button or other link on the first slide. User clicks that, it runs code to
display your form, move to the next slide and whatever else you need done at slide
show initialization time.



Thanks for the help.
