Some control properties can be set and returned while Microsoft Visual Basic code is running. The following example sets the Text property of a text box to "Hello."
The data entered on a form by a user is lost when the form is closed. If you return the values of controls on a form after the form has been unloaded, you get the initial values for the controls rather than the values the user entered.
If you want to save the data entered on a form, you can save the information to module-level variables while the form is still running. The following example displays a form and saves the form data.
'Code in module to declare public variables Public strRegion As String Public intSalesPersonID As Integer Public blnCanceled As Boolean 'Code in form Private Sub cmdCancel_Click() Module1.blnCanceled = True Unload Me End Sub Private Sub cmdOK_Click() 'Save data intSalesPersonID = txtSalesPersonID.Text strRegion = lstRegions.List(lstRegions.ListIndex) Module1.blnCanceled = False Unload Me End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Module1.blnCanceled = True End Sub 'Code in module to display form Sub LaunchSalesPersonForm() frmSalesPeople.Show If blnCanceled = True Then MsgBox "Operation Canceled!", vbExclamation Else MsgBox "The Salesperson's ID is: " & intSalesPersonID & _ "The Region is: " & strRegion End If End Sub
