Learning about
Parameters
Parameters are variables that being passed to a
Sub.
Look at the first line of the Command Button's Click
event:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
And at the first
line of the Command Button's KeyPress event:
Private Sub Command1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
The Click event's first line
is ended with
empty parentheses () and the KeyPress
event's first
line is ended with (KeyAscii As Integer)
What is the (KeyAscii As Integer)
?
It's a parameter that been passed to the KeyPress event.
This
parameter is an Integer variable with the name KeyAscii.
Like if you've
declared Dim KeyAscii As Integer
Why do we need
this variable?
Because its value is very useful.
The KeyPress event is
being executed when the user
press a key, and This variable
holds the Ascii value of the
key that been pressed.
With This Ascii value you can know on which key
the user
has pressed.
For example, the Ascii value of the "A" character is
65.
If the user has pressed the key "A" on the keyboard,
The KeyAscii
parameter value will be 65.
Lets see an
example.
Insert the following line to the Command1 KeyPress
event:
Private Sub Command1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As
Integer)
Print KeyAscii
End Sub
