Public Variable in 6.0

How do you declare a variable and use a variable which is availabe in any form.

Thankyou

Code:

---

Public MyVar As Integer ' Or Long, Variant, String etc

---

But it has to be in a Module, not in a form. A public variable in a form is only accessable to that form's functions and subs.

Public Arrays must be declared in modules too.

You can also use the Global Keyword.

That's not strictly true because public variables in a form are accesable to other parts of the program while the form is loaded


form1:

Code:

---


Option Explicit
Public intNum As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form2.Show
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
intNum = 5

Form1.intNum = 8
MsgBox Form1.intNum

End Sub

---

form2:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox Form1.intNum
End Sub

but yes, public variables would normally go in a module.

Public is ususlly rather than Globalthese days.

Global is a hanger-on from older versions of (Visual) Basic
