Yes, but you can't really do that from Excel either, can you?  If
MyUserForm is a VBA form within Excel, then there are ways you can do
this from Python using Excel's object model.  But when you are using a
VB main program of your own creation, you have probably not created
enough COM objects for that level of control.
 
- -All of my VBA code is "within Excel."  Sorry for the confusion.  I don't know any better.
 
- -Your next statement hints at a solution to my contortions.  All I really want VB for is the damn widgets.  When I first looked at Python more than a year ago, I spent quite a bit of time looking for a way to easily design and use widgets with Python and I found nothing easy to use or even comprehensible.  I'm hoping your wxPython reference is the answer ... I have not heard of it before.

If you are switching to wxPython, then what you want to do is recreate
MyUserForm in wxPython code, and eliminate the VB code altogether.
