Can I Assign A Component To A Variable?

[WarrenW]

Here is what I want to do:

When I click on a command button, I want to assign the component object Command1 to a variable and then use it by the variable name.

Like this:

C1 = Command1

and then say:

C1.caption = "Click Here"

Can someone give me an example of how to do this? I tried assigning C1 as Object and say C1 = Command1 but that does not work.

Thanks in advance for your help!

assign it as a commandbutton. You can't use default properties if you declare them as objects/controls, but you can of course do C1.Caption = "Click Here"

Great, thanks!

There is no type I can assign C1 to that will work for alll components? I wanted to make a routine to use the same object/variable public in the app. Guess I can pass to the routine the variable and then a flag to tell which type it is like commandbutton, etc.

Well you can pass it as control as well as object and then check the Typename of it, put it in a select case:

Select Case TypeName(C1)
   Case "CommandButton"
   Case "TextBox"
   Case Else
End select
