calling a click event

How would I call the click event in case 0 where mintLenght= 5. And also where would I call it at in my program??


Private Sub optLength_Click(Index As Integer)

'Declare an Integer variable to hold the value of selected option button

Dim mintLength As Integer

Select Case Index

Case 0 'first button is selected
mintLength = 5
Case 1 'second button is selected
mintLength = 15
Case 2
mintLength = 30 'third button is selected
End Select


End Sub

Which Click event do you mean?

<font color=red>Private Sub optLength_Click(Index As Integer) </font color=red>

This one?
If you mean that one - you're already in it in the Case statement.
If you mean a different click event, then change this

<font color=red>Private Sub whatEver_Click()</font color=red>

to this

<font color=red>Public Sub whatEver_Click()</font color=red>

Then use this:

<font color=blue>Case 0 'first button is selected
mintLength = 5
whatEver_Click
Case 1 'second button is selected
mintLength = 15 </font color=blue>

To call it.

in this sub you initiate a var but you never use it, do you intend to use this var?

I'll be amongst the best any minute now !

And if it is on a separate form, say Form1, remember to explicitly call it out via:

Form1.whatEver_Click

HOOOaaaaa! Semper Fi!

What is the name of the variable initialize but don't use??? I thought the only variable I have is mintLength? Please help me figure this out. I am not sure I understand. And I do use mintLenght elsewhere in the program

well in this sub you declare a var mintLength then you initialyse it to a number end then the sub ends so you will never use this one. if you need to use it elsewhere you should declare it globaly or in a module
