what kind of arguments are needed when i try to pass textbox from a sub to another

[writelearner]

I have a project with many form, on this forms a textbox is coming back again and again, so i try to put the code of this textbox on a public sub, but it is not working it says object doesn't exist.

so i try to declare the textbox in the argument list with the sub name but the call fonction is not working why

see details here

this can be solved very simple like this.

make an module with the function (name doesn't mather)

something like this :

public function ProcessTextBox (strText as string) as string
 
    // do something usefull with the text
 
ProcessTextBox = "Return some text"
End Function

and then call from the evebt you want it called from

Writelearner actually want to pass a Textbox into a function not just some text, so he can change some of the attributes of the textbox itself, i.e Visibilty.

Like i said in Writelearners other post, Excel VBA has 2 type libaries for some common contols such as Textboxs & comboboxs e.t.c ,

so when declaring a Textbox in Excel VBA you have to prefix it with the correct library.

public sub ProcessTextBox (TxtBox as msforms.Textbox) 
 
  TxtBox.visible = true  
 
  e.t.c !
 
End sub

The problem i had when trying to convey this before was if you leave out the "msforms" type library prefix you get a "Type 13 Type Mismatch"
