Calling Event Handlers as Subroutines
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
When you’re writing a VB program, you create event handlers to deal with events like a form loading or a user clicking on a button. These event handlers are just additional subroutines in your forms, which means they can be called like other subroutines. This means that if you have code in a button’s Click event, you can invoke that code from elsewhere in the form by calling Button1_Click, for instance.
However, I prefer to put this type of reused code in a subroutine within the form and call it from both places. It is easier to explain to other programmers and makes it somewhat easier to move or change the code at a later time.
