How do you do this?

[BaDDBLooD]

I have AddChat on my Main Form

Than in a Class Module

i want to use addchat

So i do

Code Select Expand



frmMain.AddChat(rtbChat, Color.Yellow, "BNLS: Sending Authorization")



It says name "rtbChat" is not declared

As a test i did

frmMain.rtbChat instead of rtbChat, and than frmMain.AddChat got the same error.

Note: The Addchat works if i use it on the same form it's located.

Code Select Expand



   Public Function AddChat(ByVal RichTextBox As RichTextBox, ByVal ParamArray Text() As Object) As Object

       With RichTextBox
           .SelectionStart = 99999999
           .SelectionLength = 0
           .SelectionColor = Color.White
           .SelectedText = "[" & TimeOfDay & "] "
           .SelectionStart = 99999999
       End With

       For I As Integer = Text.GetLowerBound(0) To Text.GetUpperBound(0) Step 2

           With RichTextBox
               .SelectionStart = 99999999
               .SelectionLength = 0
               .SelectionColor = Text(I)
               .SelectedText = Text(I + 1) & Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(vbCrLf, -2 * CLng((I + 1) = UBound(Text)))
               .SelectionStart = 99999999
           End With

       Next

   End Function

No offense, but any good bot writer will tell you to learn the language before attempting to make a bot. This instance is  no different.

I wouldnt tell you that. I'm a fan of learning from examples. Books don't do it for me.

Anyone got any help?

Then learn by examples, don't learn by code.  The .NET Framework SDK Documentation has more samples than the number of men your momma has slept with.  (Cheesy, I know).  So look at the samples.  This isn't time for us to do for you.

Got any advice on how to do this MyndFyre? I been looking over Google.. but have found nothing on how to fix my problem.

What I would suggest is this....

The RichTextBox rtbChat belongs to an instance of frmMain.  If all the work you're doing is on frmMain, then from within frmMain, all you have to do is AddChat(ByVal ParamArray data() As Object).  You don't need to use ByVal rtbChat As RichTextBox.  Why?  Because the AddChat function already knows what RTB to add to -- the one on its form.

By the way, you don't use frmMain.AddChat unless frmMain is static (which it is not, it's instance).  You have an INSTANCE of frmMain, such as:

Code Select Expand


Sub DoSomething(ByVal fm As frmMain)

End Sub


And within that function, you can do

Code Select Expand


fm.AddChat( argument-list )
