In vb6, i can do :
set object=new class
where object is a Object and Class is a class defined in the code.
Now, i want to do the same dynamically, i want to do something like:
set object=createobject("class")
but it fail because createobject is apparently for activex registered class and not class modules.
If you put the class in question in a separate VB6 OCX, you will be able to use createObject to create them on-the-fly.
I hope the reason you want to do this is to mimic some sort of interface-like functionality, otherwise it's probably not an ideal solution.
Anyway, you could create a method that gives back a different class depending on the string you provide.
function myClassCreatingFunction(className)
select className
case: "Class1"
set myClassCreatingFunction = new Class1
exit function
...
end select
end function
magallanes is trying to do, but I'd think it has to be better to pass an Enum rather than a string?
