In VB5 or VB6, to execute VB code from a string (for example, a textbox) add the
Microsoft Script Control under
Project | Components.
Here is some sample code which shows one way to make use of it...
- Private Sub Form_Load()
-
Text1.Text = "cmdText1.Visible = False"
-
Call ScriptControl1.AddObject(cmdText1.Name, cmdText1)
-
End Sub
-
-
Private Sub Command1_Click()
-
Call ScriptControl1.ExecuteStatement(Text1.Text)
-
End Sub
Further information is available by searching
TheScripts or the entire
web for “microsoft script control”.
