Which Control Caused Event?

[wyoung71]

I was wondering if there is anyway to tell which control caused my function to fire up?

Basically I have a TextBox that has an OnDoubleClick Event. I have set the event to fire up a procedure in a module. So is there anyway of dicerning which textbox was clicked without specifically passing it as a parameter to the module.

What I'm trying to accomplish is I have a form that opens up on Double click but I also want to have the same form available on a shortcut menu when the user right clicks the textbox.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bill

Have a look at the ActiveControl and PreviousControl properties of the Application.Screen object.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,
Thanks you're a life saver! Was banging my head trying to figure it out. Heres the acutal code snippet I used.

Application.Screen.ActiveControl.ControlName

The ControlName actually doesn't pop up but if you add a watch to the Application.Screen and drill down on the properties the ActiveControl.ControlName reveals the name of the control.

Again thanks,
Bill
