How to: Call Methods
Once an object has been created, you can call the methods of that object from anywhere in your application.
To call a method
Use this syntax:
Parent.Object.Method
The following statements call methods to display a form and set the focus to a text box:
frsFormSet.frmForm1.Show
frsFormSet.frmForm1.txtGetText1.SetFocus
Methods that return values and are used in expressions must end in open and closed parentheses. For example, the following statement sets the caption of a form to the value returned from the user-defined method GetNewCaption:
Form1.Caption = Form1.GetNewCaption( )
Note
Parameters passed to methods must be included in parentheses after the method name; for example, Form1.Show(nStyle) passes nStyle to Form1's Show method code.
