A User Form is a custom-built dialog box that you build using the Visual Basic
Editor. While this example works in Excel you can use the same techniques to create
a UserForm in any of the Microsoft Office programs that support VBA. With a
UserForm you can create a user-friendly interface for your workbook or document,
making data entry more controllable for you and easier for the user.
Learning the basics of making a Graphical User interface in Visual Basics is one
way of making a user friendly application and the other is to really understand the
concept on solving the problem of evaporator. In creating user form, Start Excel and
open the Visual Basic Editor (keyboard shortcut: [Alt]+[F11]). The user needs to use
both the Project Explorer and the Properties Window so if they are not visible opens
them from the View menu. After opening the User form, the GUI designers layout
the desired design they wanted show. The designer used an image to represent the
flow of the unit operation to be solved and created a command buttons and option
For the codes to be used in executing the operations of the GUI the designers
uses the linkage between the VBA, excel spread sheet and modules. By calling
the cell number or module where the data or macro program is located or the
After setting up the codes to execute the program the designer run the
program multiple times to check the stability of the program and to make the
program more flexible for the user’s benefits. The program is tested in a problem
from the book of unit operation with an answer, to compare the answers from the
solution of the book to the solution of the programmed evaporator GUI. The
