Setparent Word to Modal Form

[zynder]

Hi everyone!!!

Why is Setparent not working on modal forms but works perfect with modeless forms?

Here is my code on module.

Public Sub GrabMicrosoftWord(ByVal wName As String)
Dim MicWord As Long
               
    MicWord = FindWindow(vbNullString, wName & ".doc - Microsoft Word")
        If MicWord = 0 Then
            Exit Sub
        Else
            SetParent MicWord, Form1.hwnd
        End If

End Sub

I call it like.

Form1.Show vbModal
GrabMicrosoftWord (wName)

vbmodal won't trigger SetParent. What is the workaround for this thanks?

If you put a breakpoint on the GrabMicrosoftWord line, you will see that it does not get triggered. By showing your form modally, all lines of code that follow must wait til the modal form is either unloaded or hidden. It's not that it isn't working, the line of code is not being executed until your modal form closes.

Try swapping the 2 lines. Better?
