withevents event raiseevent questions.

Hello, i've recently read about article of Sam. He uses withevents, event and raiseevent in his project. Can anyone explain for me about them? thank you.

Strange, I don't remember righting any articles.

anyway, if you want to use events in your usercontrols, forms and class modules then you can.

first you have to declare your events, in the classmodule or usercontrol, say you have an event Hello, with a parameter x a an integer. (Don't ask me why.)

Declare it with

Event Hello(x as integer)

then at anypoint in the usercontrol code you want to fire event just go

RaiseEvent Hello(3)

it doesn't have to be 3 obviously it can be any integer you want.

if you have your events in a class module you have to declare your class with

Dim Withevents objWhatever as new Class1

instead of

Dim objWhatever as new Class1

class modules are a bit funny with events there all right when they're contained in other class modules but they're a bit funny when thay're contaned in forms.

Hope this helps.
