VB6...module...

[ianpaisley]

I have a form1 with a command button. The command button calls a module, but for some reason it's not working. The module is coded to load form2, and on it draw a line at run time.

Could someone please help me out? I keep getting an error saying:

'Method or data member not found', and Line1 is highlighted.

Thanks for any help!

'there is form1, form2 and module1
'Command button on form1
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call line1
End Sub


'code for the module
Public Sub line1()
Form2.Show
Form2.Controls.Add "VB.line", "line1"
Form2.line1.X1 = 1560
Form2.line1.X2 = 1560
Form2.line1.Y1 = 1800
Form2.line1.Y2 = 4800
Form2.line1.Visible = True
End Sub

Change your module code to:

Public Sub Line1()
    Form2.Show
    Form2.Controls.Add "VB.Line", "Line1"
    Form2!Line1.X1 = 1560
    Form2!Line1.X2 = 1560
    Form2!Line1.Y1 = 1800
    Form2!Line1.Y2 = 4800
    Form2!Line1.Visible = True
End Sub

(Use Form2!Line1 instead of Form2.Line1)

Thanks,

Just out of interest, what is the '!' character for? It seems to have no purpose (they could use Form2.Line1) and confuse programmers.
