Is There a Getproperty or Equivalent Function?

Question

I would like to know if something like this pseudo code:

myVar = "functionName"
call someObject.(myVar evaluation)

which would then be equivalent to:

call someObject.functionName

is possible in VB. I know this is done in some other languages using a GetProperty method.

Answer 1

You can try the CallByName method to accomplish this. There is also an Eval function in VB/VBA.

Here's the code for that in VB.Net:

CallByName(YourClassName, "variableName", CallType.SET, valueToSet)

You can even read property using it's string-name:

someVariable = CallByName(YourClassName, "variableName", CallType.GET)
