trigger other form's events

[illuzioner]

Hi,

Is it possible to trigger events on other forms (other than open the form)?

I have 2 forms that are already open, and when the user presses a button on one form I need to jump to another form and do some stuff. I was able to change the value of a toggle button on another form, but changing it didn't trigger it's onclick event.

I'd like it to behave just as though I clicked the button on that particular form instead of another one. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Lou

Lou,

You can indeed call the events on another form, but I usually find it makes more sense to go about it this way:
-Move all of the code that's in the click event of your button to a function in a standard module.
-In the click event of your button, call that function.
-In any other event you want, call that function.

Thank you Jeremy,

How do I actually call another form's events?

I tried doing a call to its name after changing its declaration from Private to Public, but it still wasn't recognized.

I'd like to try this way before I start moving tons of code and changing everything to refer to the proper form.

Thanks again.

Okay, I think I figured it out. I use the full form declaration on the sub call too.

Thanks again for the help.
