Help with parameter passing please

[Geoff]

In this code I am trying to pass an image, as a parameter, out of the
procedure PickCard. The code will not support this. How do I pass an image
as a parameter?

Thanks again

Geoff

Dim TheSuit As Integer, TheCardNo As Integer, MyCard As Object

Private Sub PickCard(ByRef CardSuit As Integer, ByRef CardNo As Integer,
ByRef CardPic As Object)

Dim CardValue As Integer

Dim CValue As String

Randomize

CardSuit = Int(Rnd * 4 + 1)

CardNo = Int(Rnd * 13 + 1)

CardValue = 100 + (CardSuit - 1) * 13 + CardNo

CValue = LTrim(Str(CardV alue))

CardPic.Picture = LoadPicture("J: \vb\IF\PlayingC ardImages\" + CValue +
".gif")

End Sub

Private Sub ButDeal_Click()

Call PickCard(TheSui t, TheCardNo, MyCard)

End Sub

Three examples ....

Option Explicit

Dim TheSuit As Integer, TheCardNo As Integer, MyCard As Object

Private Sub Form_Load()

Randomize

End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click( )

Dim cp As StdPicture

'returning image as variable passed to sub
Call PickCard(TheSui t, TheCardNo, cp)
Picture1.Pictur e = cp

End Sub

Private Sub Command3_Click( )

Dim cp As StdPicture

'returning image to variable from function
Set cp = PickCardf(TheSu it, TheCardNo)
Picture1.Pictur e = cp

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click( )

'returning image directly to a pixbox from a function
Picture1.Pictur e = PickCardf(TheSu it, TheCardNo)

End Sub

Private Sub PickCard(ByRef CardSuit As Integer, ByRef CardNo As Integer,
CardPic As Object)

Dim CardValue As Integer
Dim CValue As String

CardSuit = Int(Rnd * 4 + 1)
CardNo = Int(Rnd * 13 + 1)
CardValue = 100 + (CardSuit - 1) * 13 + CardNo
CValue = LTrim(Str(CardV alue))

Set CardPic = LoadPicture("J: \vb\IF\PlayingC ardImages\" + CValue +
".gif")

End Sub

Private Function PickCardf(CardS uit As Integer, CardNo As Integer) As
StdPicture

Dim CardValue As Integer
Dim CValue As String

CardSuit = Int(Rnd * 4 + 1)
CardNo = Int(Rnd * 13 + 1)
CardValue = 100 + (CardSuit - 1) * 13 + CardNo
CValue = LTrim(Str(CardV alue))

Set CardPic = LoadPicture("J: \vb\IF\PlayingC ardImages\" + CValue + ".gif")

End Function

Oops, I think that last line should be
Set PickCardf = LoadPicture("J: \vb\IF\PlayingC ardImages\" + CValue + ".gif")

[Randy Birch]

Right -- oops. In my test app I had used hard-coded paths on a line below
the OPs line and didn't update the name of the function as used in the test
call. Thanks.
