links and variables

[votan]

Is there a way to pass a value or string forward, via a link that is generated like this?
link #stuff, "contact "+contact$, [Form]
In my case, I need to pass a random value to the [Form] branch.

Thought the #handle SETKEY(stringExpr$) could do it.... but I'm not really sure how to use it in that case and if this would work at all.

See runbasic.wikispaces.com/Link

You can use setkey() to send your value, and pick it up in EventKey$ in the handler branch, or the parameter value if you're using a SUB for the link handler.
