Using a dimmed integer on a different sub..

[nahya^^]

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

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.

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
