Using a dimmed integer on a different sub..

How would I refer to a dimmed integer on a different sub?

I have a button that generates a random number.

I have another button that compares the number with another user-defined number. But I can't figure out how to compare the dimmed integer on a different sub with the user-defined integer...

you have to fix that bad VB6 habit of expecting the Default property to always be .Text



If txtGuess.Text < GuessNum Then


you may also need to cast to integer . The above Might work alone though..but if not...

If CInt(txtGuess.Text) < Guessnum

Oops. I was late. :)

But I have another problem...

I made another button that regenerates the number for the user to guess.

So I dimmed it as an integer, randomly generated the number.

But I want to use that dimmed integer on another sub. How can I do that?

hard habit to break since VB6 expected .Text when you did that..

VB.NET is not as nice

:p :p

Any help on my new question?
(I edited out my old question that's already been answered.)

Thanks in advance.

Declare it at the form level and then just assign it a value in the sub or use a function.

VB Code:

Public Class Form1
 
'auto generated stuff here
 
'main block of code
dim returnvalue as integer=GenerateRandom()
CompareRandom(returnvalue,othernumber)
 
'convert subs to functions
Public Function GenerateRandom() as Integer
  Return Int(rnd)
end Function
 
Public Sub CompareRandom(orig as integer,user as integer)
  If orig>user then Whatever
end Sub
