Applies to:

PcVue version 7.20 onwards.
Summary:

This article provides a work-around for the fact that when a mimic is saved in ASCII format, any VBA UserForm in it is not saved.
Solution:

In a VBA version of PcVue, you can attach a window of the UserForm type to a mimic as follows.

KB_UserForm_ComboBox_dialog

If you try to save the mimic in ASCII format, the following message warns you that the UserForm will not also be saved.

KB_UserForm_warning_not_save_dialog

The work-around is as follows:

  • In the dialog, click on ‘No’ to save the mimic plus UserForm in Binary format.

Note

UserForms are standard VBA objects for creating custom dialoges. They utilise ActiveX controls and are installed with Microsoft Office.
