Invoking Methods at Runtime?

[cynapse]

Hi,

I need to be able to create and call a method of a COM component dynamically at runtime.

E.g...

If a user enters the string "Cpn1" as the name of a component, "Cls1" as the name of a class within that component and "Mth1" as a method of that class, how can I create and invoke the method at runtime.

If I knew the requirements at design time I could write the following...

Dim objCls1 as Cpn1.Cls1

set objCls1 = New Cpn1.Cls1
objCls1.Mth1

set objCls1 = Nothing

At runtime however, while I can declare the object "As Object" and create it using 'CreateObject("Cpn1.Cls1")', I haven't a clue as to how to invoke the "Mth1" method.

Can it be done?

Use CallByName, attached is a sample. Open the Group1.vbg file and run.

Thanks very much!

I guess I should have done a better search of MSDN.
