Naming objects

[caerdydd]

Hi Guys,
I have basic line of code

itemid1.bringtofront
end sub

This brings itemid1 to front when double clicked, but i have itemid2, itemid3 and so on. How can i give all these objects a generic name so that when i double click any item it brings it to the front.

Grateful for the help

Application? Version?

Generic names are not a good idea, and I am not sure it can be done anyway. Each object is individual, therefore has a unique name.

However, you could do a loop through all shapes.

Say, in Word (and again, you do not state application or version), and more importantly, you do not state what these "items" are. ActiveX image controls, checkboxes, those awful "textboxes" fro, Insert > Textbox - of what?

In any case , most likely what you are looking for is the ZOrder property.

With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes("ThisOne")
.ZOrder msoBringToFront
End With
