Creating form programmatically in the module using vba

Question

I want to create a user form in the module using VBA programmatically. I am a novice and inexperienced so I have tried couple of examples, but they are not fulfilling my requirements.

I just want macro that

• creates a user form within a module using VBA
• has a ListBox with some data
• has a CommandButton with a listener

Here is the code which I used

Option Explicit

Sub MakeuserForm()
'Dim CommandButton1 As MsForms.CommandBarButton
'Dim ListBox1 As MsForms.ListBox
Dim UserForm1 As VBComponent

Set UserForm1 = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_MSForm)
With UserForm1
.Properties("Height") = 100
.Properties("Width") = 200
On Error Resume Next
.Name = "My Form"
.Properties("Caption") = "This is your user form"
End With
ShowForm
End Sub

Sub ShowForm() 
NewForm.Show 
End Sub 

Now I don't know how to add ListBox and button to the form with a listener.

After hardwork I have found a very simple answer to my question. May help you also.

Sub CreateUserForm()
Dim myForm As Object
Dim NewFrame As MSForms.Frame
Dim NewButton As MSForms.CommandButton
'Dim NewComboBox As MSForms.ComboBox
Dim NewListBox As MSForms.ListBox
'Dim NewTextBox As MSForms.TextBox
'Dim NewLabel As MSForms.Label
'Dim NewOptionButton As MSForms.OptionButton
'Dim NewCheckBox As MSForms.CheckBox
Dim X As Integer
Dim Line As Integer

'This is to stop screen flashing while creating form
Application.VBE.MainWindow.Visible = False

Set myForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(3)

'Create the User Form
With myForm
    .Properties("Caption") = "New Form"
    .Properties("Width") = 300
    .Properties("Height") = 270
End With

'Create ListBox
Set NewListBox = myForm.designer.Controls.Add("Forms.listbox.1")
With NewListBox
    .Name = "lst_1"
    .Top = 10
    .Left = 10
    .Width = 150
    .Height = 230
    .Font.Size = 8
    .Font.Name = "Tahoma"
    .BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleOpaque
    .SpecialEffect = fmSpecialEffectSunken
End With

'Create CommandButton Create
Set NewButton = myForm.designer.Controls.Add("Forms.commandbutton.1")
With NewButton
    .Name = "cmd_1"
    .Caption = "clickMe"
    .Accelerator = "M"
    .Top = 10
    .Left = 200
    .Width = 66
    .Height = 20
    .Font.Size = 8
    .Font.Name = "Tahoma"
    .BackStyle = fmBackStyleOpaque
End With

'add code for listBox
lstBoxData = "Data 1,Data 2,Data 3,Data 4"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 1, "Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 2, "   me.lst_1.addItem ""Data 1"" "
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 3, "   me.lst_1.addItem ""Data 2"" "
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 4, "   me.lst_1.addItem ""Data 3"" "
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 5, "End Sub"

'add code for Comand Button
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 6, "Private Sub cmd_1_Click()"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 7, "   If me.lst_1.text <>"""" Then"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 8, "      msgbox (""You selected item: "" & me.lst_1.text )"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 9, "   End If"
myForm.codemodule.insertlines 10, "End Sub"
'Show the form
VBA.UserForms.Add(myForm.Name).Show

'Delete the form (Optional)
'ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Remove myForm
End Sub
