[RESOLVED] CallByName

[gavio]

I have:

- Form1
- Class1 (with method Test)

In Form1, i have declared:

Private x As Class1

Now, i want to use CallByName from another module, to call Test from Class1. E.g.:

CallByName Form1, "x.Test", vbMethod

But it doesn't go that easy Is there any solution to my problem?

Thanx!

Public X As Class1

CallByName Form1.X, "Test", vbMethod

Remember to initialize X before calling CallByName.

@Merri: is there any solution that "keeps" x Private?

Besides dirty hacking that involves extra coding, thus not being not really worth it, no. CallByName can't call Private features because it can't see them because they are, you guessed it, private. And thus hidden. You can't call what you can't see.

If you have a private function and a regular call to that function in the same module then you can call that private function. But if you have a private function and a CallByName in the same module you cannot call that function so it appears that the reason goes beyond the mear fact that it is a private function.
