Experet help! objects

ok im trying to find out how CallByName works because i want to be able to use just a string to change/get a value from a object.

You (need) an object as object
i want to use a number or (pointer) insted of the object!
or i would like to know how CallByName uses the object....

CallByName (object as object, string, callType, value)

'a string of objects and =
strsing = "objectvar.Show_item_values.caption = 1"

'build a list of the objects
oldtonext = 1
For a = 1 To 5 'only need

tonext = InStr(oldtonext, strsing, ".")
If tonext = 0 Then
tonext = InStr(oldtonext, strsing, " ")
If tonext = 0 Then Exit For 'error
End If
Tobject(a) = Mid(strsing, oldtonext, tonext - oldtonext)
oldtonext = tonext + 1
Next a

'Find what the object =
'if number
If InStr(1, strsing, "= ") > 0 Then TobjectE = Mid(strsing, InStr(1, strsing, "= ") + 2, Len(strsing) - InStr(1, strsing, "= "))
'if string
If InStr(1, strsing, "=$ ") > 0 Then TobjectE = Mid(strsing, InStr(1, strsing, "=$ ") + 3, (Len(strsing) - InStr(1, strsing, "=$ ") + 3) - 1)

Dim asdsa As Object
Set asdsa = objectVAR 'Tobject(1) ####this is where it happons
CallByName asdsa, Tobject(2) + "." + Tobject(3), VbSet, TobjectE

The call by name function takes in an object, and a string
and invokes the particular method/property etc specified in the string of the specified object. You need to pass in a valid object.

i.e. Create a form with the following code. There are 5 subs.

We can call each from within a loop, by using the call by name function.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim i As Integer
 
    For i = 1 To 5
        'CallByName Me, "Sub" & i, VbMethod - would also work.
        CallByName Form1, "Sub" & i, VbMethod
    Next i
 
End Sub
 
Public Sub Sub1()
    Debug.Print "In Sub1..."
End Sub
 
Public Sub Sub2()
    Debug.Print "IN Sub2..."
End Sub
 
Public Sub Sub3()
    Debug.Print "In Sub3..."
End Sub
 
Public Sub Sub4()
    Debug.Print "In Sub4..."
End Sub
 
Public Sub Sub5()
    Debug.Print "In Sub5..."
End Sub

Hope ths helps :)

sorry my question is foggy.

what im looking for is another way of using CallByName.

i want to find out how callByname uses the object as object to locate the list of names of the object in it.

CallByName (object as object , string, callType, value)

or where would i go to findout.
