String to Object

[jimmyCRACKcorn]

Is there any way to convert a string to an object

i.e
Dim Str As String
Str = "frmTest"

Dim Obj As Object
Set Obj = Str

This seems like contrived code. What is it that you REALLY want to do? If you ask questions that aren't about your real code, you most likely won't get answers that apply to the real code.

Typically, you'd probably be better off understanding what you need first.

Think of Objects as containers...

Yes, objects can contain a string. But you need to define what your object is first.

jimmyCRACKcorn,

This is simplest example:

in a form:

Private Sub DemoStringObject()
Dim objString As clsString
Set objString = New clsString

objString.MyString = "ABCD"

MsgBox objString.MyString

Set objString = Nothing

End Sub

in a clsString class module:

Option Explicit

Private mstrString As String

Public Property Get MyString() As String
MyString = mstrString
End Property

Public Property Let MyString(ByVal vNewValue As String)
mstrString = vNewValue
End Property

i think your not understanding my question.

let me re-word it.

i have a form in my vb program. Lets call it frmTest.

i want to be able to go:

Dim Str as String
Str = "frmTest"
str.show vbmodal

Do a search in this forum for CallByName.



Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.
