    Question Help me with text boxes

    is there anyway to get the information from a text box for example the text box says "Command1.BackColor = &H80000007"
    so when a button is clicked it does that command?

    Thanks
    Neil

    The BackColor of a command button is not a good example, because in most cases it doesn't show up, but here is an example that changes its font size. The 24 could be gotten from text1.text.

    CallByName Command1, "FontSize", VbLet, 24

    ok

    yeah the reason i asked that is because im making a skin system for my program and it opens from a text file this sort of information and wondered how i could run it from the text box...

    Example:
    Form1.BackColor = &HF1CCAD
    Form1.Label1.BackColor = &HF1CCAD
    Form1.Label1.ForeColor = 0
    Form1.Label2.BackColor = &HF1CCAD
    Form1.Label2.ForeColor = 0
