  // Obtains the user form by its name
  MyTestForm = UserForms.FormByName("UserForm1");
  // Displays the form as a modal dialog
  mr = MyTestForm.ShowModal();

  // Checks which form button was pressed
  if (mr == mrOK)
    ShowMessage("The OK button was pressed");
  else
    ShowMessage("The Cancel button was pressed");

}

Python

def Test():
  # Obtains the user form by its name
  MyTestForm = UserForms.FormByName["UserForm1"]
  # Displays the form as a modal dialog
  mr = MyTestForm.ShowModal()
  # Checks which form button was pressed
  if mr == mrOK:
    ShowMessage("The OK button was pressed")
  else:
    ShowMessage("The Cancel button was pressed")

VBScript

Sub Test

  Dim MyTestForm, mr
  ' Obtains the user form by its name
  Set MyTestForm = UserForms.FormByName("UserForm1")
  ' Displays the form as a modal dialog
  mr = MyTestForm.ShowModal

  ' Checks which form button was pressed
  If mr = mrOK Then
    ShowMessage "The OK button was pressed"
  Else
    ShowMessage "The Cancel button was pressed"
  End If

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var MyTestForm, mr;
begin
  // Obtains the user form by its name
  MyTestForm := UserForms.FormByName('UserForm1');
  // Displays the form as a modal dialog
  mr := MyTestForm.ShowModal;

  // Checks which form button was pressed
  if mr = mrOK then
    ShowMessage('The OK button was pressed')
  else
    ShowMessage('The Cancel button was pressed');

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  var MyTestForm, mr;
  // Obtains the user form by its name
  MyTestForm = UserForms["FormByName"]("UserForm1");
  // Displays the form as a modal dialog
  mr = MyTestForm["ShowModal"]();

  // Checks which form button was pressed
  if (mr == mrOK)
    ShowMessage("The OK button was pressed");
