how to keep contents of text1 array in sync

[joblake]

I've got a form with an array of text1's. There are three elements in the array.

I want it so that if you type into any one of them, they all get updated with the same text.

I've tried this with a loop inside of the "Text1_Change" event but I get a stack overflow for obvious reasons.

'keep the contents of all textboxes the same:
Private Sub Text1_Change(Index As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Dim Text1 as string
Text1= Text1(Index)
For i = 0 To Text1.ubound
Text1(i).Text = Text1_Test
Next i
End Sub

(Can't use keydown/keypress events since contents may get changed thru the program also)
Any ideas??

If you think that what I've done SHOULD work, let me know. As I look at it, I think I've got something else that may be wrong.

using the change event to instigate a change will invoke the change event which will invoke the change even which will ...

and you will always get stack overflow.

set a flag before doing the forced change and test the flag in all change events & if it's on exit immediately, then reset the flag after doing the forced change.

An example of what phinds described:

Private Sub Text1_Change(Index As Integer)
 
Dim i As Integer
Dim Text1_test as string
 
Static Changing_in_code as Boolean
 
  If Changing_in_code Then Exit Sub
  Changing_in_code = True
 
  Text1_test= Text1(Index) 
  For i = 0 To Text1.ubound
    Text1(i).Text = Text1_Test
  Next i
 
  Changing_in_code = False
 
End Sub
