Hello all you intelligent programmers!

I am a new programmer-- I sort of know my way around VB but im not to familiar with module programming, dll, ocx whatever.. but i had a quick question and just to double check my understanding of how classes work. So if you know and are able to answer please do so at your earliest convenience :-)

If i created a class called clsUser and defined some parameters

Public Name as string
Public LoggedIn as Boolean

so then I could use this class to create an object like this:

dim CurrentUser as clsUser
Set CurrentUser = New objUser


CurrentUser.Name = Joe
CurrentUser.LoggedIn = True


---- furthermore i could add a sub


Public Sub Bark()
MsgBox "woof woof"
End Sub


as a procedure or method of the clsUser object and reference like:


CurrentUser.Bark
so apparently Joe barked lol..

--- i just wanted to double check and see if what i understood about classes is correct..

ok I want to know how i can use for example CurrentUser.Name and pass that value to a sub within the same class module like this maybe:


Public Sub WhoBarked(byval person as string)
MsgBox person & " barked! "
End Sub)


and access it using the following method:

CurrentUser.Name = HisName
CurrentUser.WhoBarked(HisName)


When i do this the person's name shows up as blank or null.. but if i do this:


CurrentUser.WhoBarked("Steve")

Then the output is "Steve barked!"

how do i reference a variable or the value of a property for the current instance of that object??

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
