Call <STRING AS COMMAND>

Hi, i have a textbox name txtCommand. When the user presses a button i want the txtCommand.text to call a sub ie

Call txtCommand.txt

but im not able to do that

How would i be able to do that instead of going

select case txtCommand.txt

case "Sub1"

call sub1()

case "Sub2"

call sub2()

end select

Thx

I would assume your trying to do the following for a button click event

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Select Case TextBox1.Text
            Case "Sub1"
                Call Sub1()
            Case "Sub2"
                Call Sub2()
        End Select
    End Sub

    Sub Sub1()

    End Sub

    Sub Sub2()

    End Sub
End Class

or for a keypress while in the textbox control

Public Class Form1

    Sub Sub1()

    End Sub

    Sub Sub2()

    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        Select Case TextBox1.Text
            Case "Sub1"
                Call Sub1()
            Case "Sub2"
                Call Sub2()
        End Select
    End Sub
End Class

I have always wanted to do this, and I was reading a C# book today that mentioned it. I think it was called reflection, and you could use it to interrogate libraries' metadata to find out procedure names dynamically and then call them. Which sounds very much like what you want to do.

I'd suggest doing a search on reflection and "dynamic binding"

No that's exactly what im not trying to do . I just want to call the sub directly from the textbox
Call <STRING AS COMMAND>
