[resolved]Use anything that has .caption

Hello, I was wondering, I have a function and I want the user to enter a control they have (label, form, commandbutton, anything that can do .caption). But I don't know how I can do this...

Module:

vb Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim i As Integer
Dim Start As Long
Dim EndT As Long
Dim Total As Double
Dim DoTime As Integer
    
Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long
 
Public Function TimerStart(Optional Lbl As Label, _
Optional Cmd As CommandButton, _
Optional Frm As Form) As Long
 
    i = i + 1
        
    If i = 1 Then
        Start = GetTickCount
    End If
        
    EndT = GetTickCount
    Total = (EndT - Start) / 1000
 
        Cmd.Caption = Total
 
        Lbl.Caption = Total
 
        Frm.Caption = Total
 
End Function
 
Public Function TimerReset()
    i = 0
End Function

Basically my question is.. how can I get cmd.caption=total, lbl.caption=total etc. into just one. Example: obj.caption=total. Thanks.
I wasn't quiet sure how to ask this, I hope it wasn't too confusing.

By using error checking and enumerating controls this can be done relatively easily. Modify the following to suit your needs. Note that the routine expects a parent level object, so pass the Form.

Code:

---

Private Sub ChangeCaptions(theObject As Object, byval newCaption As String)

    On Error Resume Next ' required; not all controls have caption property
    Dim vCtrl As Control
    For Each vCtrl In theObject
        vCtrl.Caption = newCaption
    Next
    theObject.Caption = newCaption
    If Err Then Err.Clear
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ChangeCaptions Form1, "Hi There"
End Sub

---

Thanks, that did it.
