Me

Description

The Me keyword in Visual Basic behaves like an implicitly declared variable. It is automatically available to every procedure in a class module. When a class can have more than one instance, Me provides a way to refer to the specific instance of the class where the code is executing. Using Me is particularly useful when you want to pass information about the currently executing instance of a class to a procedure in another module. For example, suppose you have the following procedure in a module:


Sub ChangeFormColor(FormName As Form)
    FormName.BackColor = RGB(Rnd * 256, Rnd * 256, Rnd * 256)Sub

You can call this procedure and pass the current instance of the Form class as an argument using the following statement in one of the procedures in your form code:
