Accessing Subs from another Activity

[WZSun]

Hi,
This may sounds simple for the experienced ones...

How do I access a function/subroutine from another Activity?

For example, I have a sub called GetJulianDate in "Page1" activity. Let's say I need to access the same GetJulianDate statement in current "Page5". How do I call the GetJulianDate that is in "Page1"?

I tried calling GetJulianDate in Page5 but it doesn't work. It doesn't recognise there was a GetJulianDate in Page1. If i inserted identical GetJulianDate sub in Page5, then it works. But this creates duplicated subs in all activities.

Thanks!

You cannot access subs of other activities. The reason is that while one activity is active the other activities are paused and can be even destroyed. Accessing code of a destroyed activity will fail.
A static code module will probably be available in the next version and will allow sharing code.

Hi Erel,
Thanks for adding that into the static code module.. that'd save lots of duplicated subs.

Hi Erel,
Has the static code module been added to v1.1?

Thanks
