Passing classes into a function

Lets say I've got a function, and i need it to do somthing to an instance of my class, and that is the parameter of the function. I'm trying to do somthing like this:
The function gets the .name property from the instance of the class and shows it in a msgbox (not what my function really does, but this makes it a bit more simple)

Function GetName (ClassInstance as string)
msgbox ClassInstance.Name
End Function

So when I call it like this supposing that Player1 is an instance of my class, it doesnt work.

Getname (Player1)

How can i get around this?

Instead of decalring the parameter as a string yo uneed to declare as the class. For instance if the class is called cPlayerInfo then the declare the function like this:

VB Code:

Function GetName (ClassInstance as cPlayerInfo) as string
   GetName =ClassInstance.Name 
End Function

Thanks, I figured it out just before I read this... heheh, dont know what i was thinking. Thanks anyways though.
