Hmmm..where do I start?

I have an application that uses a TreeView for an interactive menu function
with its elements being populated from a database.

In the KEY component of the TreeView I put the acutal name of the program or
form to execute. Somthing like "frmOrder_status".

How can I execute that specific form with a Show operation?

Node.Key.Show don't seem to work.

Any suggestions?

re: Hmmm..where do I start?

Unfortunately, VB doesn't support macro substitution of the sort. What you
can do is

Select Case Node.Key
Case "frmOrder_Status'
frmOrder_Status.Show
Case "whatever other form names you have"
FormName.Show
End Select

hoep thsi helps

Well...

At least that is an approach that will work for now.

What we do is populate a TreeView object with dynamic menu structures from
our SQL Server
along with the form informationm stored in the Node.Key.

But your solution looks like it will be the winner for today.

Thanks again..!!

OK hopefully this can be done:

Dim X as Integer
Dim Y as Integer
Dim Z as integer

User enters in input box: Z = X + Y

Can VB evaluate the expression and do the math and dump a result?

re: Hmmm..where do I start?

Not per say no,

However, if you go to
http://www.planet.source-code.com and do a search for expression evaluation
in teh VB category, you should have several examples there on how to do this
kind of work.
