I was on the need to get screenshots of a lot of userforms from an application. I was not for the option of capture the image, save the image with name, go again… so here is a window capturer for the active window or for the full screen. It may be not the best option, but items can be done inside Excel.

Next steps in development should be get the captured image inside a picture control on a new UserForm, and once all the controls are identified and located by position, recreate the original UserForm, so the GUI is cloned in no time, with -depending on the original developer effort on tidyness- probably right names (instead of CommandButton1, ListBox1,…, you know), and all the labels filled with text. The internal code is where you as a developer should put your best to emulate the original code… but that is another history.
Note: the rotation parameters ( R ) must be converted from arc-seconds to radians before being used in this equation.
Where a and f are obtained from the reference ellipsoid used for the respective geodetic datum:
Note: because NZGD1949 is a horizontal datum the height resulting from the transformation will not be in terms of the output datum, the equation is shown here for completeness.
