[RESOLVED] Add event hangler

[BenJones]

Hi in VB.NET Express I am trying to make a notes program what it does is aload rtf files from a folder and adds tabs and a ritchtext box. This the code I am using

    Private Sub NewNote(ByVal Text As String, Optional ByVal PageData As String = "")
        Dim tp As New TabPage
        Dim rt As New RichTextBox

        'Set tabpage caption
        tp.Text = Text

        rt.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
        rt.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
        rt.Parent = tp

        'Check if we have a filename to load.
        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(PageData) Then
            rt.LoadFile(PageData)
        End If

        'Add new tabpage
        sTab1.TabPages.Add(tp)
    End Sub

My problum is how can I add an event for TextChanged of the richedit bxoes. I know in C# you can use something like this

rt.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(TextChange);

but I duno how you do it in VB can someone please help I used to use VB6 years back then moved to C# and now moved to VB.NET so eveything is sort of new to me.

AddHandler rt.TextChanged, AddressOf TextChange

Another way (probably more common) in VB is to use a 'Handles' clause on the method header for the event procedure - if you add the event via the designer it will set it up this way. You just have to ensure that the textbox is declared using 'WithEvents' (but it should be if you added it via the designer).
