Use a parameter with item

[TONELLAL]

Hello,

I have a problem with using a parameter as item("xxx") :

Dim oPart as PartDocument

Dim oRenderstyle as Renderstyle

Dim toto as String

'This is ok :

Set oRenderstyle = oPart.RenderStyles.item("Red")

'This is NOT ok :

toto = "Red"

Set oRenderstyle = oPart.RenderStyles.item(toto)

Could you tell me where is the problem ? Thanks !

Hi,

I am not recreating this so far. Below is the VBA code I used. Is there an error?

Sub string_param_test()
    Dim oPart As PartDocument
    Dim oRenderstyle As RenderStyle
    Dim toto As String
    
    Set oPart = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    'This is ok :
    Set oRenderstyle = oPart.RenderStyles.Item("Red")
     
     'this is ok too
     toto = "Red"
     Set oRenderstyle = oPart.RenderStyles.Item(toto)

End Sub

Thanks,

Wayne

Effectively, on the first test "toto" was only defined by "dim toto". When specifying "dim toto as string" it is ok !
