How to: Pass Procedures to Another Procedure in Visual Basic

  • आलेख

This example shows how to use delegates to pass a procedure to another procedure.

A delegate is a type that you can use like any other type in Visual Basic. The AddressOf operator returns a delegate object when applied to a procedure name.

This example has a procedure with a delegate parameter that can take a reference to another procedure, obtained with the AddressOf operator.

Create the delegate and matching procedures

  1. Create a delegate named MathOperator.

    Delegate Function MathOperator( 
    ByVal x As Double, 
    ByVal y As Double 
) As Double

  2. Create a procedure named AddNumbers with parameters and return value that match those of MathOperator, so that the signatures match.

    Function AddNumbers( 
    ByVal x As Double, 
    ByVal y As Double 
) As Double
    Return x + y
End Function

  3. Create a procedure named SubtractNumbers with a signature that matches MathOperator.

    Function SubtractNumbers( 
    ByVal x As Double, 
    ByVal y As Double
) As Double
    Return x - y
End Function

  4. Create a procedure named DelegateTest that takes a delegate as a parameter.

    This procedure can accept a reference to AddNumbers or SubtractNumbers, because their signatures match the MathOperator signature.

    Sub DelegateTest( 
    ByVal x As Double, 
    ByVal op As MathOperator, 
    ByVal y As Double 
)
    Dim ret As Double
    ret = op.Invoke(x, y) ' Call the method.
    MsgBox(ret)
End Sub

  5. Create a procedure named Test that calls DelegateTest once with the delegate for AddNumbers as a parameter, and again with the delegate for SubtractNumbers as a parameter.

    Protected Sub Test()
    DelegateTest(5, AddressOf AddNumbers, 3)
    DelegateTest(9, AddressOf SubtractNumbers, 3)
End Sub

    When Test is called, it first displays the result of AddNumbers acting on 5 and 3, which is 8. Then the result of SubtractNumbers acting on 9 and 3 is displayed, which is 6.
