But C++ is way more complicated than C# and in fact you would still have a lot to learn to write C++ according to best practices. I'm actually originally a C++ developer. But after spending lots of time with C# and then going back to C++ it looks awful by comparison. Kevin
excellent, it worked like a champ! 3 books, 2 newsgroups and about 4 irc channels later your the first person that could answer that. I really appreciate the help!
As far as I know there was none that was able to do what the VS IDE could do (forms building). I heard of folks running editors like CodeWrite and stuff to alloww them to edit and build code, but nothing that did the GUI stuff.
This small example will help to understand the role of "()" around the argument Sub Func(ByRef i As Long) i = 12 End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Dim j As Long j = 33 Call Func(j) ' **ByRef** Debug.Print "j="; j ' the output will be: j= **12** j = 33 Call Func((j)) ' **ByVal** Debug.Print "j="; j ' the output will be: j= **33** j = 33 Func (j) ' **ByVal**. Note that there is the space between function name and argument Debug.Print "j="; j ' the output will be: j= **33** Unload Me End Sub With best wishes, Vita
