Also you can declare a form
For example if you used alot of say columnviews all over a large project and did the same sort of thing to the columnview in all the forms, simple example, allow the user to change the font of a columnview and save it to a settings file via a pop-up menu over the columnview, you could have a general module in your project, and pass the columnview to that module, do whatever on it you wanted. Then you have a single few lines of code you re-use in dozens and dozens of situations. e.g I have a module I call modUtil and puts lots of stuff in it which is used all over the place Public Sub Columnview_SetFont(cvw As Columnview, Settings_Section As String) '---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Attempts to change the font of a columnview and save to settings '--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dialog.font = cvw.font If Dialog.SelectFont() Then Return cvw.font = Dialog.Font Settings[Settings_Section & "/" & cvw.name & ".font"] = cvw.Font.ToString() End ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
