Update a control's text from another class...?

[Gadjuka]

Hi all!

I'm trying to do a pretty simple thing in VB6, but it's not working!

In the main form:

Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim cls1 As New Class1
    cls1.fnc1 StatusBar1.SimpleText
end sub

And in Class1:

Function fnc1(ByRef logText As String)
    Dim i as Integer
    For i=0 To 10
        logText = "We're at number " & i
    Next
End Function

I though this would update the statusbar text in real time, but it doesn't work!
Anyone knows why?

What is the return type of the function ?

You are not assigning back anything to the statusbar.

I don't think the function should have to return anything (I could have made it into a sub). The goal is to update the statusbar while cls1.fnc1() is running. By sending the statusbar's text property as a reference I should be modifying the actual object, thus updating the real statusbar. Unfortunately the statusbar remains empty!
