Is it possible to view the form creation code in Access VBA? I don’t mean the event listener code that is viewable in the VBE from View>Code in the form’s Design View. I mean the code that is used to create the components, and add them to the form. I would like to programatically set Form properties; doing this from the Properties dialog is quite slow (and annoying).
In theory you could get the form definition from the system table where it is stored (MSysObjects), but it isn’t in a format that is practical to work against.
In theory you could avoid using the graphical designer to layout your form and create all the controls/set their properties dynamically in the form_load event. However, this wouldn’t be much of a time-saver.
Assuming the gist of the question is whether there is an XML like declarative way to define a form layout similar to WPF. The answer is no.
