How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
Greetings!
Example: the value of vbOkay within the VBE is 6. {i = vbOkay} yields i = 6. Would like a construct where {sMyString = "vbOkay" : i = UnknownFunction(sMyString)} yields i = 6 TIA! George |

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
What's the context of your question
vbOkay - no such named constant, maybe you mean vbYes/6 or vbOK/1 Regards, Peter T "G Lykos" wrote in message ... Greetings!

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
Okay - how about vbOK/1. Are you familiar with a mechanism to evaluate the
VB constant name in a string variable? Thanks! "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
Thanks for the suggestion. Consistently evaluates to 0 when applied to
string variables containing VB constant names. "Nigel" wrote in message ... Try i = VAL(sMyString) -- Regards, Nigel "G Lykos" wrote in message ... Greetings!

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
If s = "vbOK" then
n = 1 elseif etc or Select Case s Case "vbOK": n = 1 etc You didn't explain the context of your question, there might be a different approach. Regards, Peter T "G Lykos" wrote in message ...

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
Thanks. The idea was to avoid having to look up and hard-code a bunch of
system constants that I already know by name. If you can go into the VBE Immediate window, enter '? vbOK', and get back '1' on the fly, then you'd think that VBA would be able to handle run-time evaluation of system constants by name reference within module code. Any other ideas? "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...

How to evaluate VB constant name in string variable?
But VBA can indeed evaluate named constants (assuming it can find the
relevant library), that's the whole point of them, eg result = MsgBox("yes+no+cancel=" & (vbYes + vbNo + vbCancel), vbYesNoCancel) If result = vbYes Then s = "yes " & vbyes ElseIf result = vbNo Then s = "no " & vbno ElseIf result = vbCancel Then s = "cancel " & vbcancel End If MsgBox s Maybe I'm missing what you're trying to do Regards, Peter T "G Lykos" wrote in message ...

In fact, please stop here; see posting of the reframed question (looking to
reach the general public). "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...
