'** In MyClass.cls
Private XLUForm As UserForm
Public Property Set XLUserForm(vData As UserForm)
Set XLUForm = vData
End Property

'**Called from a userform called MyForm
Set MyClass.XLUForm=MyForm

Using the above code in a class in same WB as the passed UserForm,
vData.Caption always evaluates to "".
But if, whilst in the class, I test ?MyForm.Caption it returns the correct
value.
Also, properties like vData.Width are no longer "supported", but
..InsideWidth is.

If I change the declarations to:
Private XLUForm As MyForm
Public Property Set XLUserForm(vData As MyForm)

everything is *normal*.

Anyone explain why ?

A generic userform object has very few properties. Most
properties are created when the form is created.

Chip,
So if I wanted a generic routine in a class to deal with userforms e.g
'**MyFormClass
Public Function ReadCaption (argUserForm as UserForm)
MsgBox argUserForm.Caption
End Function

Calling this from a cmd on a userform:
Dim cFormHandler As MyFormClass
cFormHandler.ReadCaption Me

This will never work then because the object does not have such a property.
I can't create routines for every userform used, passing in the speciifc
userform, as in
Public Function ReadCaption (argUserForm as UserForm1)...
Public Function ReadCaption (argUserForm as UserForm2)...etc

This worked for me.

Public Function ReadCaption(argUserForm As Object)
