Renaming A Label With A Function

[2MuchRiceMakesMeSick]

can anyone tell me why this doesnt work?


private: void changeLabel(Label ^ lbl, String ^ str)
{
lbl->Text = str;
}





changeLabel("lblTest", "testing");

What exactly "isn't working" here?

I assume you are getting a compiler error, because passing a String to a function which takes a Label will never compile.

If you want to change the text of a label which is identified by its name, you could try this:


private: void changeLabel(String ^ name, String ^ str)
{
array<Control^>^ controls = Controls->Find(name, true);

for each(Control^ control in controls)
{
control->Text = str;
}
}
