Noobish question

How should i make a String called 'packets' send to Text2_Change.. And let it say "Found!"

Code:

---

Private Sub Text2_Change()
if packets = "word" then
msgbox "Found"
end if
end Sub

---

And yes, i'm doing other stuff with the sub.. this is just an example..
IF the option Change isn't possible.. how should i send the "packets" to the Sub..

Thanks in advance..

You can't add extra parameters to the event handler; but, does something like this work for you?

Code:

---

Private Sub Text2_Change()
  call AnotherSub(Text2.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub AnotherSub(byval packets as string)
  if packets = "word" then
    msgbox "Found"
  end if
end Sub

I could use it.. But the "Anothersub" is on another form :d

if "Anothersub" is on another form, then surely you can use

vb Code:

Form2.Anothersub

You can do what calumrulez suggests, but only if the sub on the other form is declared as Public.
