Menu
I have a simple user form with a button on it. I want to pass this form to a function in another module - but even inside the same module, it does not work as expected:
Private Sub Test(ByRef oForm As MSForms.UserForm)
Debug.Print "caption: >" & oForm.Caption & "<"
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Debug.Print "caption: >" & Me.Caption & "<"
Test Me
Debug.Print "caption: >" & Me.Caption & "<"
End Sub
when I click the button it prints this to the debug console:
caption: >UserForm1<
caption: ><
caption: >UserForm1<
so inside of the Test() sub the Caption is blank.
any ideas why this does not work?
Note: if I use Variant as parameter-type it works

To pass an argument by reference, use the ByRef keyword before the argument to its left. Passing arguments by reference is also the default in vba, unless you explicity specify to pass an argument by value. Example 4a - Passing an argument by value in a procedure using the ByVal keyword.
When the . Show method is called, VBA will direct the program flow to the UserForm_Initialize event. Here, you can make numerous customizations. You can edit the userform controls, like the caption on the command button.
A User Form is a custom-built dialog box that makes a user data entry more controllable and easier to use for the user. In this chapter, you will learn to design a simple form and add data into excel. Step 1 − Navigate to VBA Window by pressing Alt+F11 and Navigate to "Insert" Menu and select "User Form".
Type UserForm is not directly equivalent to an instance of a specific User Form and presents a slightly different interface.
Pass the form as Object:
Private Sub Test(Form As Object)
or for a type safe approach a UserForm may implement an Interface:
Private Sub Test(Form As IMyForm)
