How to pass textbox as parameter?
Text1 is a textbox. I want to pass it as parameter, but it gets me the error below, I think this is because it treats text1 as text1.text, but how to solve it?

Thanks,
But I am quite confusing with the bracket convention in VB.
1. What is this mean(If it do not mean it taking a parameter text1)
Handletxt (Text1)
2. Is there a guideline for when to use bracket and and when do not?
