Referencing a Command Button from a module

Hi People,

I am currently writing a Nought's and Crosses game.

I have 9 command button's for the different parts of the board. When you click a button the program calls a procedure in another module.

This Module will then place an X or a O in the Caption property of the button that called it.

I can't find out how to reference the calling button's caption. I have tried passing into the module a string with the command button's name and then saying string.caption = "X", but this does not work.

Any Idea's, Cheers ?

A couple of ideas actually.

Pass a reference of the command button to the module

'in module

private sub mySub (cmdButton as commandButton)
  'do all your stuff
  cmdButton.Caption = ? 'O or X
End Sub


'in button click
Private Sub cmdButton1_Click()
  mySub cmdButton1
End Sub

Or return a string.

'in module

private function myFunction () as string
  'do all you stuff
  myFunction = ? 'O or X
End Function


'in button click
private sub cmdButton1_Click()
  cmdButton.Caption = myFunction
end sub

Hope this helps.

Commandbuttons are objects and you pass the object reference, which could either be a commandbutton or an object, not a string.

IE:

Dim cbref as commandbutton
set cbref = yourform.yourcommandbutton
cbref.caption="X"

Cheers, It think that should help me out
