How To Create a Form Method

Create a Form Method (Sub or Function)

Methods defined in an InteropForm can be exposed to Visual Basic 6.0. To do so, decorate the custom method with the InteropFormMethod attribute. Methods may be subroutines (Sub) or functions (Function) that return values.

<InteropFormMethod()> _
Public Sub ReverseBackgroundColors()

         Dim lblOldBackColor As Color = Me.lblHelloText.BackColor
        lblHelloText.BackColor = Me.BackColor
        Me.BackColor = lblOldBackColor

End Sub

To quickly define a method use the InteropSub or InteropFunc snippets installed with the toolkit: Simply type interopsub+Tab or interopfunc+Tab and complete the method signature.

Only certain Types may be used as return values or parameters. See Type Restrictions for details.
