Update TextArea from within class methode

General

Hi,

I would like to add text to a TextArea from within a class methode.
The start of the class methode is triggered on the click of a button.

Thanks

Tim

Here’s one way: Pass a reference to the TextArea as a parameter, e.g., aMethod(ta as TextArea, any other parameters you want), and in the button click you would write, aMethod(TextArea1, any other parameters you want[/i])

Or build a method like this:

[code]Public Function MyEnhancementOfTA(extends ta as TextArea, x as string)
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Enhancement of TextArea
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --> ta is the actual TextArea
// --> x i.e. an another import parameter
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

… and here is your code…

End Function
[/code]

Thanks for all the feedback. I used a thread to solve the issue. The UserInterfaceUpdate methode can update a textArea.
