Default Customizing userforms on button clicks

Well, here's one way.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call ChangeCaption("CommandButton1")
End Sub

Private Sub ChangeCaption(sCaptionName As String)
Select Case sCaptionName
Case Is = "CommandButton1"
Me.Caption = "MyCustomTitle"
Case Else
Me.Caption = "Something else"
End Select
End Sub

The only benefit that I can see to doing this, though, is to have a
place to centrally manage the naming. It's actually more code than just
changing it in the Button_Click event.

Actually centralizing the coding is important, as I may need to add
additional functions later.

I actually came up with an approach similar to the one suggested but
using string parsing.

Is there away to refer to the title of each button in a uniform manner?

E.g.

buttonTitle = me.name

I tried the above but it seemed to be extracting the name of the sheet.
If there was a way generic way to extract the caption or name field
from the list of properties (as opposed to writing CommandButton1 etc),
I could simply pass a generic reference - extract some data and use
that to manipulate the title.
