Modules and Events

Cableguy · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2009, 09:45 AM

HI, trying to keep a "clean house", i created several modules in my app...
One of wich is in charge of initializing and setting Objects....
These Objects are ALL used in others forms...
How can I use an event in a module were the Object was NOT created?

Use AddEvent?

As a workaround I'm "delegating" the event from the dolule who "Owns" the object and call a sub on the module I wish to trigger...

As agraham wrote you can use AddEvent to use a sub in a different module as the event sub.

That would sometime be troubling as if we only have "Working" Subs and no 2initialization" Sub, the addevent keyword will error out...
I will post this in wish list...The possability of turning an event "Public"..

You can put initialisation code in Globals in each module - works quite well for me. As far as I know there is no limitation on what you can do there.

Why?
