VBA Excel - Targeting userform controls

Question

I'm trying to make code that, depending on an integer (which loops from 0 to 4), changes the targeted userform label. I've tried using

Eg

Public placeholderLabel as label 

sub test()
    if loopInt = 1

         set placeholderLabel = userForm1.labelTestA

    elseif loopInt = 2 then

       set placeholderLabel = userForm1.LabelTestB

    End if 
    placeholderLabel.caption "Woohoo!")
end sub 

I've tried userform1.controls.LabelTestA and this did not do anything.

My intention was to be able to loop from 0 to 4 and then depending on the loopInt change 1 of the 5 labels. At this point it would have been way easier for me to just repeat the 5 assignments instead of looping 0 to 4 and changing the placeholders...but I want to understand why it is that my assignments to these userform objects isn't working. Very frustrating!

Answer 1

placeholderLabel.caption "Woohoo!") is improper. try placeholderLabel.caption = "Woohoo!"

If the name of your control is "myControl" then UserForm1.Controls("myControl") will get you the object
