Can I use "Stop" as subroutine name in VB?

Question

I'd like to create an object... say a "Movie" object. The object should have a method name "Stop", so I can have this code below

dim Mov as new Movie
Mov.Stop ' To execute the Stop method.

In my Movie class, I should have something like this.

Sub Stop()
'code here needed for the Stop subroutine
End Sub

However, I can't use "Stop" as name as this is a reserved word. I see a VB code that has "Stop" as one of the method. Unfortunately, the code is protected so I can't view it.

How can I name a subroutine as "Stop"?

Answer 1

Stop is a keyword in Vb6. You will have to rename your method to something different. Say MovieStop

Answer 2

Stop is a statement used to break the app when debugging (same as setting a breakpoint) so choose another name.

Answer 3

It might work if you created a typelib with Stop and your other methods and properties and then use Implements in your class. I haven't tested this though.
