How to refer object property by using a variable?

How to refer object name that is stored in a variable?



Suppose the property "clearer" is referred as below

TradeDataGrid.FlexObject.dataProvider.list.source.item(row).clearer



But if the name is stored in a variable say  v_clr="clearer"



I want to refer it something like below, which is not working now



TradeDataGrid.FlexObject.dataProvider.list.source.item(row).v_clr



Error throwing as below



 Object doesn't support property or method:v_clr



Had this been worked, I could reduce several lines of code .

    Try using "Eval" on the results to return the actual object. In your case, it should be



    Set Obj = Eval("TradeDataGrid.FlexObject.dataProvider.list.source.item(row)."&v_clr)



    The object you want will be returned.



    I'm also wonderring if there are some other ways.

    Hi Krushna and Amy,


    I'm also wonderring if there are some other ways.


    As far as I know, you can also use the following approach:



    aqObject.GetPropertyValue(TradeDataGrid.FlexObject.dataProvider.list.source.item(row), v_clr)



     If you use JScript, you can also use the bracket notation:



    TradeDataGrid.FlexObject.dataProvider.list.source.item(row)[v_clr]


    I hope this information helps :)
