What Are UserForm Controls or ActiveX Controls?

UserForm Controls are objects which you can be placed onto UserForms to interact with your data. There are several ActiveX controls which help users to do different activities with data, each control have different functionality.

We can place form controls on user forms based on our requirement, then add the code for each control to perform required tasks. Following are most commonly used control and their uses.

Forms and Controls in Excel VBA – Practical Learning: Developing A Simple UserForm

Now we will develop a simple userform, follow the below steps to create a userform to Find Square Values of a given number.

Step 1: Open VBE by pressing Alt+F11

userform-pl1

Step 2: Goto Menu Bar -> Insert -> Click on UserForm

userform-pl2

It should look like this:
userform-pl3

Step 3: Click On ToolBox and Add Three Labels, One TextBox and Two Command Buttons as shown below

userform-pl4

userform-pl5

Step 4: Now Click On the First Label and Change the Caption of the Label as “Enter a Value” – as shown below

userform-pl6

Similarly, change the caption of second Label as “Square Value”, Caption of the Third Label as blank(just delete the captions, we need this blank label to show the square value of the given value), Command Button1 as “Find Square Value”, Command Button2 as “Exit”, it should look like this:
userform-pl7

Step 5: Now Double Click On the First Command Button (Find Suare Value), It will take you to the form code module, place the following code
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 'Calculate Square Value
 Label3.Caption = TextBox1.Value * TextBox1.Value
End Sub

Similarly add the following code for Exit Button:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
 'Exit Form
 Unload Me
End Sub

Now- your code module should look like this:
userform-pl8

Step 6: Click on the Useform (left pane) to view the designed Form and Click on the Run Button to test it

userform-pl9

userform-pl10

Step 7:You can insert an ActiveX Command Button in the Worksheet and Add the following code to call the userform from your Worksheet
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    'Call userform
    UserForm1.Show
End Sub

    Hi sir, loved your website! The only thing I would like to point out is that you’ve interchanged the icons for Command buttons and Frame in your indroduction. Might get confusing for newbies!

    Thanks and keep up the good work!
    Ali!
