'Accessing Textbox Methods through Object Variable   Q. This is what I`m trying to do:   Dim a As TextBox Set a = Text1   Private Sub Text1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)   This is the mouse down method for a text box. I want to use this method through the variable a. I`ve been told I`d need to use inheritance, and polymorphism.   A. You do not need inheritance and polymorphism here. As long as the variable has visible scope within the module with the Text1_MouseDown event, you can use that variable to call the TextBox it references. Modify your code like this:   'In the Form's declaration section Private a As TextBox   'In the Form_Load event Set a = Text1   Then, anywhere within that form, including Text1_MouseDown, you can do this...   a.Text = "Put new text here"   anytime you want to change Text1`s content. Incidentally, if you declare a as public:   Public a As TextBox   Then you can also refer to a outside of the form using Form1.a assuming the form containing Text1 is Form1.   Thanks to: Taiwo Ayedun Downloads In IE right-click and select 'Save Target As...' or in Netscape right-click and select 'Save Link As...'    View Plain Text  Not Available  Not Available
