WithEvents

[Wokawidget]

If your app can create many instances of a class module, which has public events, then how to you catch it's events after it's been created. Say you change data in one of the 10 instances of the class modules, how do you catch it's Dirty event in the main app?
If the class module is in a collection the event is ignored and if it's in an array then you can't decalre them WITHEVENTS

Anyone?

You'll have to use callbacks, either from the individual classes to the collection or just from the class to some form of notify class.

Any examples? Need more explanation

[Edneeis]

Here is an example which should explain it. Some of the properties are Friend instead of public but since the classes are in the project instead of a dll they show up anyway. Otherwise the collection and class wouldn't seem to be any different then normal.

Cheers, I'll have a play now

Make the class call a friend method in the collection object it belongs to, passing itself in as a parameter, then make the collection raise the event out to the big wide world, passing out hte class that caled the frind method

To do this you need to have the Parent Collection class as a varible in each Object Class...doesn't this scoff memory like crazy???

No because you are using SET (without new) so you really aren't creating another collection you are referencing the same one over again. If we passed it ByVal then we'd have some hefty memory.

Just testing ya

You know I think I make a point to read your threads just for the crazy caption dealies.
