Calling lines of information **Solved!**--"AHHA"

[scroll]

How can I create a form that I can call information from? such as



Blah_doStuff

=========================
Blah_doStuff

label.caption= "stuff"
text.text="im text"

=========================
you know what I mean?

But not in the same Sub.. calling from another sub....

or callign information for a module... using VB 6.0

Sorry but that doesnt make any sense.

I have a bunch of stuff... that I want to reapeat....



set_labels_to_stuff




and somewhere else in the form there will be a list of stuff
that "set_labels_to_stuff" will do




set_labels_to_stuff=
=====================
Set a Label
Change a Picture
Change A Textboc
=====================

SO when it reads "set_labels_to_stuff" it do the following stuff

Sorry, but that still doesn't make sense.

Evere heared of a Subroutine?

Public Sub stufftodo
       the stuff you want to do
End Sub

On a Form, place a TextBox, Lable and a CommandButton:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text1.Text = "Start"
    Label1.Caption = "Stop"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If Text1.Text = "Start" Then Label1.Caption = "Start"
End Sub

Is that what you mean.

Please ...rephrase your request into something with less "stuff" in it

something like...

I want to change the Captions of all my labels to "Blah,blah"
and also to fill with defaults some textboxes...

but also...try to write a Before and an After the procedure that you want.

I'm on the same wavelenghth pal (I think so ). Like:

Select Case Label1.Caption
    Case "Stuff 1"
        'Load Picture X
        'Cange TextBox X
    Case "Stuff 2"
        'Load Picture Y
        'Cange TextBox Y
    Case "Stuff 3"
        'Load Picture Z
        'Cange TextBox Z
End Select

Once the Label1 has had a Caption set, then down at the Select Case will do actions based on the Caption.

i think he wants to make a function, or just a sub routine like mentioned before..

Private Sub Form_Load()
  'do stuff
    doStuff
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
  'do stuff again
    doStuff
End Sub
 
Private Function doStuff()
  label1.Caption = "caption"
  text1.Text = "text"
End Function

AHHA..... Thanks but I figured it out.....

All I had to do was create my own functions....


thanks for trying anyway!

[Bruce Fox]

Wait


If your NOT returning something (as in a Function), then use a Sub!


Functions should Return, Subs don't.




EDIT: I was way way off (to your original post), sorry
