[Gambas-user] Access a property via string (Introspection like)

[Juan Jose Costello Levien]

Hello,

I want to set a property value using strings for, accesing a form, then
a grid, then a cell inside the grid, the text property and finally set
the value for it.

Here a wannabe code that obviously is failing to do the idea:


PUBLIC SUB setMatrix(path AS String, dims AS Integer[], prop AS String,
Valor AS String)
  
    ' Divido a path por los puntos
    
    DIM s AS String[]
    DIM cad AS String
    DIM c AS Control
    DIM g AS GridView
    DIM f AS Form
    DIM o AS Object
    DIM i AS Integer

    
    s = Split(path, ".")
    
    
    IF s.Count = 0 THEN 
        Message("Revisar argumentos")
    END IF

    FOR i = 0 TO Windows.Count - 1
        IF (Lower(s[0]) = Lower(Windows[i].Name)) THEN 
            f = Windows[i]
            EXIT 
        END IF
    NEXT 
    
    IF NOT IsNull(f) THEN 
    
        g = f[s[1]]
    
           
        g.row = dims[0]
        g.column = dims[1]
        
         
    
        Object.SetProperty(g.Current, prop, Valor)
    END IF
    

  
END

As you can imagine, Gambas stops on the "Object.SetProperty" line,
complaining about that it cannot use the "virtual" class that g.Current
belongs to.

I need this because the idea is to access in runtime to any
object/property/method from outside gambas (for example, a Python
script).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
