Optional

Optional. Indicates that an argument is not required. If used, all subsequent arguments in arglist must also be optional and declared using the Optional keyword. Optional can't be used for any argument if ParamArray is used.

ByVal / ByRef

Choose the way of passing the value.

ByVal

A way of passing the value of an argument to a procedure instead of passing the address. This allows the procedure to access a copy of the variable. As a result, the variable's actual value can't be changed by the procedure to which it is passed.

ByRef

A way of passing the address of an argument to a procedure instead of passing the value. This allows the procedure to access the actual variable. As a result, the variable's actual value can be changed by the procedure to which it is passed. Unless otherwise specified, arguments are passed by reference.

ParamArray

Used only as the last argument in arglist to indicate that the final argument is an Optional array of Variant elements. The ParamArray keyword allows you to provide an arbitrary number of arguments. It may not be used with ByVal, ByRef, or Optional.

Name

Name of the argument

Data Type

Type of the argument

Array

Check this if the argument is to be an array.

Default Value

Specify value to be used if argument is optional and no value was specified during call.

OK

Adds the argument to the procedure and closes dialog.

OK & New

Adds argument to procedure without closing dialog. Enables you to add several arguments fast.

Cancel

Closes dialog without adding an argument to the procedure.
