How do I dynamically call an Aliases item?
For example, I have Aliases.Window1 and Aliases.Window2. I want to create a Function where I can call either Window1 or Window2.
Function call_aliases(AliasesName)
Dim tempaliases
tempaliases = Aliases.AliasesName
End function
How do I declare the Aliases item and not have the function see Aliases.AliasesName as a string?
Hi,

One more possible option is to consider Eval() function.
E.g. (pseudo-code):
Function test1
Set obj = call_aliases("Window1")
End Function
Function call_aliases(AliasesName)
Set call_aliases = Eval("Aliases." & AliasesName)
End function
Use WaitAliasChild
tempaliases = Aliases.WaitAliasChild(AliasesName)
That doesn't work. I want something like Regions.Item. I can hard code the Aliases.Window1 in the called function but that can be painful if I have to hard code every alias.
Define "doesn't work". What are you passing in in Aliases Name... are you passing in just Window1? Or are you passing in Aliases.Window1?
There is nothing like Regions.Item. So, the solution needs to be different.
Try adding a timeout parameter...
tempaliases = Aliases.WaitAliasChild(AliasesName, 30000)
