Form Object assignment

Hi folks,

Let me first thank you for reading.

What I would like to do in my userform is to store a group of optionbutton's into an array, so whenever I need to iterate through all the optionbutton's I can just use a FOR loop and quickly get the object reference.

Suppose I declared the following:


Type myType
xInt as integer
xOption as OptionButton
end type
...
Dim xOptions(1 to 5) as myType


Whenever I do

xOptions(1).xOption = UserForm1.OptionButton1

I get a runtime error, because it seems to always go after the default property of OptionButton, which means it's trying to assign OptionButton1.Value into xOption. How do I assign the OBJECT OptionButton1 into xOption? I couldn't find CASTING, or methods that returns the object...and of course I have similar wishes for labels/textbox/...etc.

FYI: OptionButton1 was created using the Form-GUI

Thanks again.

use a collection instead.

What would it look like? Wouldn't I still have the same problem?

xCollection.add(UserForm1.OptionButton1)

A collection might be better, but my problem isn't how to put them together, but to reference the object as objects.

Thanks.
