Solving (string) and creating the screen - Ex.: CreateScreen("screenTest")

[Lost User]

Friends, I hope you can help me. I am developing a new project and this project I have several screens. Well, I would like to create a screen through her name and that name is the same class name of the screen. Example: I create a new screen, and put her name as formCadastro. Now, in my base form, I would go to a function the string value "formCadastro" function and open the screen with the same name. Is it possible? I tried to work a little with the System.Windows.Forms.Form class but I could not ... Thank you for your help. Success for All

Have you tried a switch statement?

switch(inputname){
case "Screen1": Screen1 s1 = new Screen1();
s1.ShowDialog();
break;

case "Screen2": Screen2 s2 = new Screen2();
s2.ShowDialog();
break;

// continue

default: // add a default situation.
break;
}

Friend, this will not work. There are many screens, and would like to develop a generic method. Thanks!

Friend, it would be nearly so. But I wanted something simpler. There is to create a container of the screens? I am studying the example. Thanks

I would use something like this...

private void CreateScreen(string FullName, params object\[\] args)

{
    Type t ;
    Form f;
   
    t = Type.GetType(FullName);
   
    if (t != null) {
        f = Activator.CreateInstance(t, args) as Form;
        if (f != null) {
            f.Show();
        }
    }
}

This would also allow you to pass arguments to the constructor. You may also have to pass the Full name of the Form including the Namespace. I don't remember how Type.GetType() works. Edit: Sorry, forgot I was in C#.
