Dereferencing

Re: Dereferencing

Yes Cor, indeed "very Belgian".
Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur (or an "old fart") in these High Tech Era:
I've been programming for years, but still I haven't got an ICQ, I don't use
(know) many of the acronyms (I that word is used in English) that many so
eloquently use, .... So now and then I "dare" to ask what it means.

CYA,

Michael

| Hi Michael,

| Or maybe you are a Dutch speaker, because your name sounds very Belgian.

Re: Dereferencing

That's an option too but, personaly, I prefer to use the Hashtable because
then you only have to loop the control-collection once for each
form-instance (filling the HT with all the controls).

| <q>
| Something like:
| Dim txt As TextBox = DirectCast("txt " & someStringVaria ble, TextBox)
|
| This sadly won't work because a type of string cannot be casted to a
| textbox.
| The "txt" + someStringVaria ble concatenation would represent a valid name
of
| a textbox on the form.
| </q>
|
| You can do a loop on Me.Controls and searching for the Item.Name = "txt" +
| someStringVaria ble.
| Than you can cast the item found to TextBox.
