How do I declare and call the EditState method properly?

[Lan Solo]

I am trying to call the editstate method in order to enable a record from a dataset for editing. I am not sure how to declare it, but VB STudio does not seem to like my syntax. Here is what I coded:

 

Private Sub mmuEditEdit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mmuEditEdit.Click

       Call EditState(cblnEditing)

   End Sub

 

I get the squiggly lines under EditState and cblnEditing in the code editor and it states that neither is declared.

 

Thanks

What editstate method?

[Lan Solo]

It is described in the text I am trying to follow. It is supposed to be (I think) a statement in a sub that puts a record pulled from a database in a state that is editable. However the book is very vague as to how to use/code this method.

I can't find such a method or property anywhere in .NET.

i bet EditState is a function of an object / referenced item.

eg:

Dim Obj as New MyClass()

With Obj
   .Add( "my text")
   .EditState = False '// maybe it's something like this.
End With
