picturebox byref

[Kaimonington]

whenever I make a function that needs a picturebox, for example:

Function Hello(picture as picturebox)

whenever I put a picturebox there a message comes up saying

ByRef argument type mismatch.

What can I do?

If that's your actual function, the error is because "picture" is a reserved keyword. Try using a different name.

"picture" is a defined object in VB6 language itself - it must be replaced it with something like

myPicture As Picturebox

or

pct As Picturebox

or whatever but staty away from using reserved workds.

[Kaimonington]

no.
What I have now is

Function Hello(mypictureboox1 as picturebox)

and it still doesnt work!!!

[RhinoBull]

What isn't working exactly? Give us some more details please.

mypicturebox1 as Picturebox means you can pass a Picturebox. This begs question what are you trying to pass? A stdPicture?
