Display a table in the userform by extracting from excel sheet

Question

I have a table like this

Now I want to display this table In the userform. How to display it in the userform. I'm thinking of selecting the entire table range and displaying it as a label, because I want the table TO BE UNEDITABLE. How to do this?. I want to write a VBA code. please help me with this.

I have tried another way as well like displaying it in a listbox, but the I couldn't get the correct output.

The vba script which I added to the userform is:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    ListBox1.List = Sheets("Overview").Range("C1:H3").CurrentRegion.Value
End Sub

when I used the above code, the output I got is

I'm not getting the entire table in the listbox . what's the error I'm doing??

Answer 1

Here's another, more involved option to insert your table as an image into your UserForm:

Step 1

Add the following code to your UserForm:

Option Explicit
Dim FileName As String

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim img As MSForms.Image

Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.ListObjects("TestTable").Range.CopyPicture

FileName = Left(ThisWorkbook.FullName, Len(ThisWorkbook.FullName) - Len(ThisWorkbook.Name)) & "MyBitmap.bmp"
SaveClip2Bit FileName

Set img = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Image.1", "TableImage", True)
img.Picture = LoadPicture(FileName)
img.Width = Me.Width
img.PictureSizeMode = fmPictureSizeModeStretch

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()

If FileName <> "" Then Kill FileName

End Sub

Note: Change "Sheet1" to your sheet name and "TestTable" to your table name. You can also change "MyBitmap.bmp" to any file name that you would like.

Step 2

Add a module with the following code adapted from answer #6 here:

'*****************************************************************
'*
'* MODULE NAME: Paste Picture
'* AUTHOR & DATE: STEPHEN BULLEN, Office Automation Ltd
'* 15 November 1998
'*
'* CONTACT: [email protected]
'* WEB SITE: http://www.oaltd.co.uk
'*
'* DESCRIPTION: Creates a standard Picture object from whatever is on the clipboard.
'* This object can then be assigned to (for example) and Image control
'* on a userform. The PastePicture function takes an optional argument of
'* the picture type - xlBitmap or xlPicture.
'*
'* The code requires a reference to the "OLE Automation" type library
'*
'* The code in this module has been derived from a number of sources
'* discovered on MSDN.
'*
'* To use it, just copy this module into your project, then you can use:
'* Set Image1.Picture = PastePicture(xlPicture)
'* to paste a picture of whatever is on the clipboard into a standard image control.
'*
'* PROCEDURES:
'* PastePicture The entry point for the routine
'* CreatePicture Private function to convert a bitmap or metafile handle to an OLE reference
'* fnOLEError Get the error text for an OLE error code

Your table will be inserted as an image into your UserForm. You can change the size of the image as necessary to fit your needs.

Note - This saves the image to the folder where the workbook is saved. It then deletes the image file when the UserForm is closed. If you want the user to select where to save the image, replace this line:

SavePicture PastePicture, FileName

With this line:

SavePicture PastePicture, Application.GetSaveAsFilename("MyBitmap.bmp", "Bitmap Files (*.bmp), *.bmp")

You'll probably want to make some other changes to the code then as well.
