Object Creation through a string value

[CoreyS]

Does anyone know how to create an object using the contents of a string?

For example:

In an application I create a CLASS called cMerun.

I have a string variable that has the following in it:
sStringVar = "cMerun"

How can I: Dim oObject as New sStringVar (contents being cMerun) and create a new cMerun object?

Thanks!!!

That's not possible so far in VB.

You can however, you can If...Then statement to do a work around.

If sStringVar = "cMerun" Then Dim oObject as New cMerun

C'est possible!

It's possible.

Dim objObj As Object
Set objObj = CreateObject(String)

Gurus. What happened to your knowledge?

But don't forget it has to be a fully qualified object reference eg:

    Set objTemp - CreateObject("OCXName.ProgID")

- gaffa

Yeah, but at least it's a possibility. You can use DLLs and EXEs, too.

That is good for ActiveX stuff I think, but I don't think that I can create a Class in a class module in that project and instantiate that class using that function. I got an ActiveX component error when I tried. Thanks anyways! Maybe in 7.0?!?
