The following expression works fine and clicks CommandButton #1:-
Call UserForm1.CommandButton1_Click

Is it possible to assign a variable to the number of the button clicked,
along the lines:-

For X=1 to 5 step 1
Call UserForm1.CommandButton(X)_Click
(Then does what clicking the CB does)
Next X

This doesn't work, but I don't know if the fault is incorrect syntax,
or that the expression simply cannot take a variable.

hi
incorrect syntax.
what are you trying to pass to the procedure?
variables can be passed but the call command is looking for a named
procedure and what you have written is not a named prodedure.
UserForm1.CommandButton1_Click is your named prodedure.
UserForm1.CommandButton(X)_Click is not.
the correct syntax would be.....
call UserForm1.CommandButton1_Click ()
you can pass variables, arrays or expressions but they have to be within the
parenthases. but i'm not too sure about a button number. what are you trying
to do...call 5 different button click?

Hello Donwb,

You can Click each Command Button by setting its value property to
true, like this...

Dim CmdBtn As Object

For X=1 to 5 step 1
Set CmdBtn = Controls("CommandButton" & X)
CmdBtn.Value = True
Next X

Hi FSt1
I have a UserForm with many CBs.
I need a macro (lets call it Macro1) to programmatically click
CB1 on the UF, which will then do something.
UserForm1.CommandButton1_Click in macro1 does this ok.
When that's done, control goes back to macro1, which I then want to click
CB2.
UserForm1.CommandButton2_Click would do this.
But there are 20 or so CBs to click,
so I wanted to automate the process with something like
UserForm1.CommandButton(X)_Click, with values 1 to 20
assigned to the variable X sequentially.
The real question is:-
can UserForm1.CommandButton(X)_Click
become a named procedure when X is given a number
- with the correct syntax?
or is it treated as a named procedure in VBA
ONLY if is assigned an integer and not a variable?

I'd move the guts of the commandbutton#_click events to a general module.

I created a small userform with 4 buttons--Commandbutton4 runs the first 3
routines.

In that General module (where all the real work is done):

Option Explicit
Sub CB01Click()
MsgBox "cb1"
End Sub
Sub CB02Click()
MsgBox "cb2"
End Sub
Sub CB03Click()
MsgBox "cb3"
End Sub



Under the userform:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call CB01Click
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Call CB02Click
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Call CB03Click
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim iCtr As Long
For iCtr = 1 To 3
Application.Run "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!cb" _
& Format(iCtr, "00") & "Click"
Next iCtr
End Sub

Hi Leith
Many thanks for the code.
It does just what I want -
just needed a full stop before "Controls"
Thanks to everyone who helped me with this including Dave's suggestion.
