Dynamic access to $ObjectType
Is it possible to access $ObjectType dynamically, e.g. $ObjectType['Lead'] or $ObjectType['Custom_Object__c'].
That syntax clearly doesn't work, but I'm looking for something that lets me build a visualforce interface without necessarily knowing what object I'm working with.
I know I can write custom controller logic to handle the describe calls, but if this is possible, it would make the code cleaner and more easy to maintain.
I just posted this on my blog 5 minutes ago. It seems as if I posted it for you. See my blog
Dynamic Binding When Object Name is also dynamic

I have used 'Account' in this line in apex controller
you can take this from query string also to fulfil your requirement.
That's an elegant solution, but i explicitly said that I was asking about using the $ObjectType global variable in Visualforce, and <i>not</i> about writing custom controller logic; I know how to do that already.
The answer to my question may be 'no'.
I don't think there is any such way then in VFP, I will reaserch about it and will let you know.
There's a new VF feature called dynamic binding that may let you do what you want. It lets you do things like make a multi-object list view where the user selects the object, clicks a button, and then a table of data from that object is populated in a list controller.
Is that along the lines of what you're looking to do?
