How could you make something like a simple costum language?
For instance:
In a textbox you enter:

I don't fully understand your question,
Do you mean like this:

you can edit a textbox's text too, so that for instance if you would enter Text1("w/e") Visual Basic should translate this to Text1.text = "w/e"

i wish i knew how to do this, convert a string to a function name so like you type "MyFunc(1, 2)" into a text box and it uses the MyFunc function, with those parameters (without a crap loads of ifs mind you)

You mean taking input at runtime and compiling it on the fly?
That would be a lot of work...
Maybe you could convert the input into ASM and then into hex, then throw it into an array and point a function pointer at it and call that. No idea if it'd really work, though.

no, not that complicated, something like:

After you comile, thgere's no longer a "My func", just a function at 0042839a. I think you'd have to make a function that takes in a name and indexes that to the function. Yes, it would take a lot of ifs, but atleast it would all be secluded into one function.
But that doesn't help OP with his "custom language"

EDIT:
There's this thing in java called a hashmap which lets you set a key to a value. I believe the VB equivalent is the collection object:

This would allow you to set a string key to a function pointer value.

You mean like a scripting language? You would have to handle the strings and such yourself. If you want to see a decent example check this out:
