Change Event

Object List Next Object

Defined By: Label

Description:

Indicates that the contents of a label have changed and initiates some action based on the change.

Usage:

Sub Change

Details:

The Label's change event occurs when you change the Caption property from code, or as a result of a DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) operation.

A Change procedure can be useful for coordinating data display among controls. For example, you could use a Change procedure to display an image in one area and information and other data relating to the image in another area on the same form.

---

Note: A cascading or circular event can sometimes occur when using the Change event. This is especially true in situations where the control's Change event affects the control's contents. Avoid this situation if possible. Also, avoid making Change procedures of two or more controls that directly affect each other.
