VB problem, writing to a label object

dawgXdenta · Apr 27, 2009, 01:35 PM

I've been to the VB threads , i didn't find what i was looking for,
i want to write to a form object (I'm using excel) from within the code

kindof something like:

labelObject.write(someText)

this is how excel says i should do it

labelObeject.Caption = someString

this doesnt work however

it doesnt write to the label object at all

the reason I have the "someString" variable is because i want the label to change depending on conditions i wont mention here, coz that is a problem i got on lock

Why is VB so annoying isnt it an OO its hierachy is so weird to me

Case anyone ends up here: here is how i managed

labelObject.Caption = Str$(someString)

had to parse it works though
