ok … i know it's easy …
ok … i know i didn't see a tree in the woods …

my problem is:

i iterate trough and get (in sProp) a string value starting with ":" (Events), "$" (Private), "_" (Hidden) or 'nothing' (Var) and i'm fine with that.

with i get the current value … ok nice but what i have to do to get for example the typeof the variable …  means what to do to get the object(?) from a string value?

Run the following code in a new "Graphical" application. I think this is what you are looking for.

thank you but maybe i'm not able to make clear what i'm looking for …

FMain["ValueBox1"]

also
Me.Window.Controls["ValueBox1"]

thanks bruce but


give NULL

You said Object.
that's not an Object that's a Variable.

I'm not sure if speaking English helps ,

2 same words with completely different meaning?? it makes no sense at all !!

English can be crazy

isn't in OOP everything an object ???

Code (gambas)

1. myClass = Class.Load(oParent.Name)
2.  
3. For Each sProp As String In myClass.Symbols
4. Debug myClass[sProp].Type
5. Debug myClass[sProp].Value
6. Next
7.  

crazy … how smart things work if they done right …  :roll:

ah bruce … what would I do without you?
it looks like my brain memory capacity is no longer sufficient to store more than three things …

I knew it was that simple… and I've used this before… but unfortunately it seems to have fallen victim to my dementia/stupidity.

so many thanks to you bruce but also to charlie (i'll add steve here), always quick replies and VERY helpful !!!!

i'm off to search the forest among the trees with my 2¼ dogs

whoop whoop

Gonna have to say OOP is only "orientated" like Objects but no. Ask the wrong questions get the wrong answers ,hehe  

I'm sure you would have figured it out
Happy to help dude
