Hi all,

let's say I have a Form with an Edit box and some public methods. The
user will type the name of the method in the Edit box and the program will
execute it. In other words: in Runtime I need to execute a method having
only it's name as a String.

Any help???
Thanks,
Alphonsus.

i don't think (but am not sure) it is possible to execute a method having only it's name as a String.

What you could do (if the number of methods is not to big) is something like:

if edit1.text = 'method1' then
method1()
else if edit1.text = 'method2' then
method2();

You can do that only if the methods are 'published', not 'public'...

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var pointer;
begin
p:=myClass.MethodAddress(edit1.text);
if p<>nil
then asm
call dword ptr p
end;
end;

I hope it's what you wanted...

Yes Raz, this is what I need. Is it possible to pass parameters???

Thanks a lot,
