[RESOLVED] Trouble with VB6: What is the issue here?

[olosratserif]

Hey everyone. I'm using Visual Basic 6, and trying to use a library for a specific control application. The function that I'm attempting to access has this syntax:

Syntax:	cpObject.SetElement index, elementValue

and the code I'm using is

cp.SetElement(1, txtValue.Text)

The error I'm receiving is "Expected: =" on that line.

I was under the impression that this SetElement function is not a value-returning function, since all it is doing is setting the element of an array. What is the issue here? Let me know if you need more information, and thanks.

VB is expecting

Something = cp.SetElement(1, txtValue.Text)

I think what you are wanting to do is have no returned value, therefore use

cp.SetElement 1, txtValue.Text

Notice the lack of parenthesis.

How disgustingly simple and annoying. Thanks for the help!! I'll probably be back around over the next few days, I hardly ever work with VB, I'm more of a C++ person =\

Thanks again.
