Declare Procedure Method

The Declare Procedure method declares a procedure in a module or in a dynamic link library (DLL). The value it returns depends on one of the following formats that you use:

• Format A. It does not return a value.
• Format B. A value of the funcType type. You can use this value in an expression.

For more information about the format and arguments that you can use with this method, see Declaring a Procedure.

Format A

Declare Sub name [(argument [As type])]

Format B

Declare Function name [(argument [As type])] [As funcType]

Arguments

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method.

Example

The following example declares a function that the main subroutine subsequently calls. This function only sets the return value to 1:

(general) (declarations)
Option Explicit
Declare Function SVB_exfunction()

Function SVB_exfunction()
   SVB_exfunction = 1
End Function

Sub Button_Click
   Dim y as Integer
   Call SVB_exfunction
   y = SVB_exfunction
End Sub
