Me Operator |
Me
Represents a reference to the current class from within the class
Me is an explicit reference to the current object as defined by the Class...End Class construct.
Me corresponds to the C++ this operator.
In this example, a class passes an instance of itself to a function outside the class by using the Me operator.
Private Class CCounter Private lCtr As Long = 1 Public ReadOnly Property Value Get Value = lCtr End Get End Property Public Sub Increment( ) lCtr += 1 End Sub Public Function ShowCount( ) As Long ShowCount = ShowObjectValue(Me) End Function End Class Module modMain Public Sub Main Dim oCtr = New CCounter oCtr.Increment oCtr.Increment MsgBox("Count: " & oCtr.ShowCount) End Sub Public Function ShowObjectValue(oObj As Object) AS Object ShowObjectValue = oObj.Value End Function End Module
The Me operator can't be used on the left side of an expression.
Me is particularly useful when passing an instance of the current class as a parameter to a routine outside the class.
