Public

Specifies a procedure having external linkage.

Syntax

Public Sub procedure_name [cdecl|stdcall|pascal] [Overload] [Alias "external_name"] [([parameter_list])] [Constructor [priority]] [Static] [Export]
..procedure body..
End Sub
Public Function procedure_name [cdecl|stdcall|pascal] [Overload] [Alias "external_name"] [([parameter_list])] [ ByRef ] As return_type [Static] [Export]

Description

In procedure definitions (forbidden at declaration line level), Public specifies that a procedure has external linkage, meaning its name is visible to external modules. If Public or Private is not specified, a procedure is defined as if Public was specified.
