[RESOLVED] Label Properties

I want a variable to be expressed in the caption of a label. Is this sort of right?

Code:

---

Private Sub Label1_Load()
Dim nom As String
    .Caption = "Who do you want to play as" & nom
End Sub

---

I'm a bit shady using variables and text together.

Cheers

There are a lot of things wrong with your code but more importantly, could you try again to explain what is it that you are trying to do?

You are declaring a variable without assigning a vlaue to it so your label caption is not going to shaow any value for the var.

Ah, whoops. I should have mentioned this. Some text was taken from a form and put into a variable, then publically declared in a module. In a different form (this one) I want a label to display some text and that specific variable. Once the variable is public what do I have to do to use it? I have to declare it don't I? Sorry for not making much sense before, hope I uh... cleared things up?

The below one is in a module:

Code:

---

Public strData as string

---

Code inside First form:

Code:

---

Private sub command1_click()
strData="Data from first form"
end sub

---

Code inside Second Form:

Code:

---

Private sub form_load()
Me.caption=strData
end sub

---

Something like this????:)

I think I have an idea...
Module:

Code:

---

        Public strData as string

---

Form1:

Code:

---


Private Sub Command1_Click()
      strData = Text1.Text
      Label1.Caption = "Whom do you want to play as " & strData & "?"
End Sub

---

When you pressed the command button, the thing that you text box will come out in the label box along with the question..

Is this suppose to be the output?

Hahah! Both of you are awesome, thanks for clearing the Public stuff up akhileshbc, thats pretty much what I had, but I just got confused.
Louvelle - Thanks, thats exactly what i need, I just couldn't remember that little bit at the end.

Thank you both!

If your problem is solved, then mark the thread as RESOLVED:)

-Bye:)

A friend of mine made a game that does like that...

Your welcome... :bigyello:
