checkbox label

[Terry]

Hello
Is there anyway to pick up the value of a checkbox label?
EX:
When I created the checkboxes, they came with a label (which I added a
caption to).
Now I would like to pickup that caption for that checkbox's label.

ActiveControl.label.caption ---- in essence. As you know, this does not
work.

Thank you so much

The attached label is the first member of the control's Controls collection,
so its Caption would be:
[MyCheckbox].Controls(0).Caption

I don't know what you mean by 'pick up the value of a checkbox label'?

You can change a label's caption:
LabelName.Caption = "This is new."

You can read a label's caption:
Dim strX as String
strX = [LabelName].Caption

Are either of these what you want?

If Im understanding correctly;
If I want the caption of the activecontrol (when a checkbox is clicked) then
I could use:

var = Form.ActiveControl.Controls(0).Caption

Is this correct?

Thank you

By pickup, I mean get the caption of the activecontrol into a variable....
sorry for the confusion.

If the active control has an attached label, it would be:
Screen.ActiveControl.Controls(0).Caption

However, I've always found that syntax to be rather error-prone, so make
sure you have error handling in your code.
