ODE97: DOC: Code Example in NodeClick Event Help Topic Incorrect

ID: Q172167

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you paste the sample code from the NodeClick event into a form's class module and then compile it, you may receive the following error message:

Compile error:

Event procedure declaration does not match description of event having the same name.

This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to the "Building Applications with Microsoft Access 97" manual.

CAUSE

The code example contains the following procedure:


   Private Sub TreeView1_NodeClick(ByVal Node As Node)
   Form1.Caption = "Index = " & Node.Index & " Text:" & Node.Text
   End Sub

The data type of the argument that is passed to this procedure should be Object instead of Node. The subroutine also sets the Caption property of the undefined variable Form1.

RESOLUTION

Edit the TreeView1_NodeClick procedure so that it reads as follows:


   Private Sub TreeView1_NodeClick(ByVal Node As Object)
   Me.Caption = "Index = " & Node.Index & " Text:" & Node.Text
   End Sub
