[RESOLVED] Testing for an Object that is not added as a component or reference

Is there any way to test for any object even if it is not added as a component?

Here's the problem. I want to have code that can handle a few known objects such a TreeView, SSTab and a few others. Now I want the code to be independent of these object it is to test for. Meaning there are no references to it. Is there a dynamic way to see if an object passed to a routine is the type of object you are looking for in this manner.


IE.

If TypeOf ctl is TreeView then ...

What I want is

If TypeOf ctl is (A dynamic object treeview representation) then ...

Can you use TypeName instead of TypeOf ?

vb Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim obj As Object
    Set obj = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
 
    If TypeName(obj) = "IWebBrowser2" Then
        obj.Visible = True
        obj.Navigate "http://www.google.com"
    End If
 
End Sub

There's a thought... I will look into that.

Works just fine... Thanks
