EXCEL-VBA: Save userform controls as picture
I'm trying to develop a macro that updates/generates the footer/header of excel files for my company.
The first version of this macro uses a sheet to store the required info (pics, text) and it works.
I want to go one step further and eliminate the sheet where the macro info is stored by moving all required info in userforms.
So, I have UserForm1 which has the company logo picture. This is saved using SavePicture UserForm1.Logo.Picture, "D:Logo.png" where Logo is an Image control.
In UserForm2, I have a Frame control (named FooterText), populated with labels which need to be updated prior to saving the entire frame as png (or whatever picture format). Needless to say that SavePicture UserForm2.FooterText.Picture, "D:Footer.png" does not work. The text for the footer exceeds the limit set by office and as such, can only be added as a picture.
Are there any options for me at this point? Is there a simple solution for exporting userform controls as picture? I don't want to complicate things by adding new references since it will be required by all company users.
