type data type <found alternate solution>

is their any way to declare a variable to the type that is stored in a Type varaible.

its easier to explain with code

VB Code:

dim t as type
dim a as textbox 'or any thing else
 
t = a.gettype
 
dim b as t 'it not happy with this line (Type t is not defined)

so the above code should dim b with the same data type as a

so it that possible to do and i just am doing it the wrong way?

See if you can toy with TypeCode enum .

VB Code:

Dim c As TypeCode

Though , what you're doing doesn't make sense . :ehh:

well ive found another way to do it. im not sure what i was thinking before. i wonder how long that orange juice had been in the fridge hmm did taste a littel funny.
