Pass ComboBox object to a function 1

[Strobeman]

In Microsoft's help for adding an item to a ComboBox they show an example(see below) where you pass the ComboBox as an object to a function. Unfortunately they do not show the code calling this function and when I try and do it I get an error. Has anybody managed to do this?


This example adds an item to the beginning of the list in a combo box control. For the function to work, you must pass it a ComboBox object representing a combo box control on a form and a String value representing the text of the item to be added.

Function AddItemToBeginning(ctrlComboBox As ComboBox, _
ByVal strItem As String)

ctrlComboBox.AddItem Item:=strItem, Index:=0

End Function

when I try and do it I get an error
Which error with which code ?

Call example:
AddItemToBeginning Me!myCombo, "New text"

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PHV. I have been coding in C# for a while now and was trying to call the function with the parameters in brackets. This works like a dream now.

Or:

Call AddItemToBeginning(Me!myCombo, "New text")
