You need to write your own function to do this. See

This is the name of the control or the name of the variable ?

Have you double checked you design ? You may want to explain what you is
your final goal.

Hello, I need to enable or not, menuitems in a menu depnending the user
permission, whish is set in a table of the DB
so I go through the table records, and depending the name of the control , y
enable or not the menu
Something like this

TABLE PERMISSION
MEUNUNAME          -           ACCESS
A1                                                true
A2                                                true
A3                                                false
A4                                                true

Something like this
