What just happened?

How to change a batch trend’s fixed batches

Reusable UI with the BatchView Control

Reusable code with the BatchView Object

Use the same script for two trends

Easy to add feature to other trends because the code is partitioned

But . . . What if I have 100 trends?

With Events

Scripting events for object references

Dim WithEvents <varname> as <object type>

Write code for a class of objects

Code Demo

What just happened?

Dim a global variable WithEvents

Set the variable reference on selectionto attach the event handler code

One set of code is used for all trends in the display, even new ones

But . . . What if I have 100 Displays?
