VBA: Make a frame draggable (when userform is running!)
-1
Hi I'm making a small concept operating system in VBA.
I want it so that the frame control is moveable/draggable when the userform is running.
I've looked for properties for the frame and nothing appears to be there, and a Google search came up inconclusive.
I don't know any way to currently do this, and whether it is at all possible but I'm sure people with enough experience in VBA can guide me :)
All code/comments are welcome :)
Josh
PS: Please not that I'm a beginner and I'm still learning VBA!

"I'm making a small concept operating system" doesn't quite add up with "I'm a beginner and I'm still learning VBA" in my mind. I've written VBA for over 15 years and I've no idea how I'd go about this. Heck I'd have to research doing this with current tech. I doubt you'll get anything meaningful without diving head-first into Win32 API and COM - stuff that's possibly well above your head right now. How about learning with a simpler project, like, some calculator app?

You're going to need to look at how the OLE containers work. UserForms are composited at run-time, so anything "positional" relative to the form is handled via an interface extension. I'd start researching how fm20.dll works, then start reading up on object embedding.

Mathieu Guindon - It's only frame controls, text controls, image controls with icons, it's nothing that bad. I've programmed in VBA for 3 years, but I say I'm a begginer because i find it makes my life easier when understanding stuff. And, well this OS contains a calculator so.... I've done other languages and I know about Win32, API and COM.

What I mean is, you'll learn much faster and much more useful things if you start with something simpler, like studying a Battleship game for example, or making your own BrainFuck interpreter and putting it up on Code Review - whatever. In any case this "question" can't quite be answered as it stands.
