    Displaying Modeless Forms in WORD

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a screen object similar to the MS Office pane since I cant modify this. I gathred that using a Modeless form would work just fine, but I simply cant get the form to stay on top of the MS WORD Document.

    When I use the following code in the VBA Editor it works fine.
    VB Code:
    1. Sub StartForm
    2.     UserForm1.show 0
    3. End Sub

    The form displays modelessly but I need to use this in a VB6 COM Addin I have atteched a sample project here. The result is as in the included screen shot

    Regards

    Welcome to the Forums.

    It would really hard and messy to use a vb 6 or UserForm to duplicate a Task Pane window Object. If you want to cleanly create your own task pane you need to use VSTO.
