StartUpPosition property

Returns or sets a value specifying the position of a UserForm when it first appears. Use one of four settings for StartUpPosition.

Setting Value Description
Manual 0 No initial setting specified.
CenterOwner 1 Center on the item to which the UserForm belongs.
CenterScreen 2 Center on the whole screen.
WindowsDefault 3 Position in upper-left corner of screen.

Remarks

You can set the StartUpPosition property programmatically or from the Properties window.

Example

The following example uses the Load statement and the Show method in UserForm1's Click event to load UserForm2 with the StartUpPosition property set to 3 (the Windows default position). The Show method then makes UserForm2 visible.

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
    Load UserForm2
    UserForm2.StartUpPosition = 3
    UserForm2.Show
End Sub
