Andy, thanks for your help, this was the problem.

Why do the brackets cause this behaviour, ie the logic behind it.?

Lose the brackets around the passed argument.
The brackets are actually causing the default value of the label, which is
the caption property, to be passed rather than the object.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim c1 As New Class1

c1.addStuff Label1

End Sub

myLabel.Caption = "Stuff"

End Sub

Hi,


If by form you mean userform then the object type would be MSForms.Label

Cheers

Hi,

I have a form with a label control on it. I want to pass this as an
argument to a function which does a test. The problem is that this gives
me a type mismatch on this form which calls it. If you hover the mouse
cursor over the argument which is passed to the function from the
calling method in the form, it returns a string value.

Any IDeas ?

Public Function MyFunction( myLabel as Label ) As Boolean

myLabel.Caption = "SomeString"

MyFunction = True

End Function
