Pass a control into a public sub and have it's event fire

[Ruegen]

I have in the code

If Not IsMissing(FireEvent) Then


Call FireEvent_AfterUpdate
End If

baisically I am passing me.swaplist

I get an error when I pass me.swaplist as FireEvent

Can this be done?

Can you show us more code where this resides? Not enough info or context for me.

Public Sub tagVisibility(DateFrom As Variant, DateUntil As Variant, TagName As String, FormImport As Form, Optional FireEvent As Variant)
Dim ctl As Control


If IsNull(DateFrom) Or IsNull(DateUntil) Then
        Debug.Print "Got to Here"
        For Each ctl In FormImport.Controls
            Select Case ctl.ControlType
            Case acComboBox, acTextBox, acCommandButton, acLabel, acListBox, acSubform
                If ctl.Tag = TagName Then
                ctl.Visible = False
                Else
                ctl.Visible = True
                End If
               
            End Select
         Next ctl
         
    Else
    
        For Each ctl In FormImport.Controls
            Select Case ctl.ControlType
            Case acComboBox, acTextBox, acCommandButton, acLabel, acListBox, acSubform
                If ctl.Tag = TagName Then
                ctl.Visible = True
                End If
               
                If Not IsMissing(FireEvent) Then
               Call FireEvent_AfterUpdate
                End If
                
            End Select
         Next ctl
         
    End If
    
End Sub

Note the after update is a control afterupdate on the form and is a private sub

[Ruegen]

calling the function

Call tagVisibility(Me.DateFrom_Box, Me.DateUntil_Box, "Vanish", Me.Form, Me.SwapList)

Not certain, but I think you have to reference the form on which control event is located????

Where is the FireEvent_AfterUpdate located? Me. ??

[Ruegen]

Yeah, It's on the end me.swaplist

I tried passing as control too

I've tried FormImport.refresh too

the afterupdate event has to fire because it gives me a count in a label caption after it has been updated. So I'd like it to have it's afterupdate event fired.

[Ruegen]

Call tagVisibility(Me.DateFrom_Box, Me.DateUntil_Box, "Vanish", Me.Form, Me.SwapList)

[orange]

Try (guessing)

Call tagVisibility(Me.DateFrom_Box, Me.DateUntil_Box, "Vanish", Me, Me.SwapList)

[Ruegen]

Try (guessing)

Call tagVisibility(Me.DateFrom_Box, Me.DateUntil_Box, "Vanish", Me, Me.SwapList)

using
Call FormImport.FireEvent_AfterUpdate

Makes no difference - same object error

[Ruegen]

If you know how to force the combo box to select something that could help fire the after update...

I've tried in the select case too

case vbComboBox

ctl.requery

but no luck

[Ruegen]

I found calling a control event only works on the forms vba and not in a module.....

See this link , seems others have done this. (found via Google)

Form_frmName.PublicSubName(anyVars)

Here is info from a recent email on another group

I have a command button on one form that opens a second form. On the second
form, I use a click event to enable and disable other controls based on the
value in the clicked event.

I'm also passing a value to the second form and using that to filter the
form's Recordset -- so the control that determines the disabling and
enabling has a selected value. I need to force that click to enable and
disable the other controls....
When I explicitly name the form in the Call statement, I get an error --

Call Forms![Enter Disposition Details]!lstDispositionDetailsID_Click()

Here was a response, but I haven't heard success/failure yet..

Try:

Call Forms("Enter Disposition Details "). lstDispositionDetailsID_Click
