Question call a function?

[tobyhuton]

How can I call a function in the Private Sub Form1_Load.

I want to be able to call items like

item1.Enabled = False
item2.Enabled = False

Thanks

I'm afraid that your question doesn't really make much sense. If you want to call a method in the Load event handler then go ahead and call it. There's nothing stopping you.

That said, the code snippet you posted demonstrates setting properties, not calling methods. It's really not clear what you want to do and what your actual problem doing it is.

Here you go Is this what you need?


If you want your function to be called when the form1 starts

Public Class Form1

        Function Do_Following() 'This is the function we are calling

        item1.Enabled = False 
        item2.Enabled = False

        Return Nothing 
    End Function

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Do_Following() 'call the function which we created earlier
    End Sub

End Class

If you want your function to be called when a button is clicked

Public Class Form1

        Function Do_Following() 'This is the function we are calling

        item1.Enabled = False 
        item2.Enabled = False

        Return Nothing 
    End Function

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Do_Following() 'call function

    End Sub

End Class
