Can we return an object from a function

Hi,   Is there a way we can return an object to the calling function/sub from the called function?    For Ex:   //Called function Function Test1(btnName)       Dim testObj       If btnName =...

    Got the solution! 

     

    You need to return as an object itself.

     

    In the called function: 

    Set Test1 = testObj    //while returning use the 'Set' keyword

     

    In the calling function:

    Set test = test1("CLOSE")

     

     

    Thanks!

Hi,

Small correction: Set keyword must always be used in VBScript when assigning an object to a variable regardless of whether this is just regular assignment or function's return value.
