FindObject function FindObject Function Enables an object to be addressed at run-time as a string parameter through the object name.

For example, the following command: MyObj.Prop1.Command = 5 corresponds to the command block: Dim ObjVar as Object Dim ObjProp as Object ObjName As String = "MyObj" ObjVar = FindObject( ObjName As String ) PropName As String = "Prop1" ObjProp = FindPropertyObject( ObjVar, PropName As String ) ObjProp.Command = 5 This allows names to be dynamically created at run-time. For example: "TextEdit1" to "TextEdit5" in a loop to create five control names.
