Normally if I want to do something with an event in a control on a form I use "[Event procedure]" and handle it in VBA. So somthing like Private Sub SomeControl_BeforeUpdate(C
Now I have a situation where a control is added dynamically on a form. I don't create any VBA but I do set (in design): SomeControl.OnBeforeUpdate
In that public call I then use screen.activecontrol to act on it.
But is it possible to give return values back? So if GeneralHandler() decides that the beforeUpdate should be cancelled, how do I return this variable so that the controls acts in a normal behaviour.
It is not only an issue with BeforeUpdate. Even more with NotInList and all other events with return variables.
Suggestions how to do that?
