using vb controls dinamically

[anizam]

1 . how can I find a visualbasic control programatically at runtime

I mean :

I will click a command button at runtime and
I will show item's name that focused before command button without describing any special property of that item.

I doesn't want to write

msgbox item.name (item.name is static.)

instead I want to write code that firstly find which item focused before command button and then show its name.

(item.name is dinamic.)

Let me make sure I understand first

You want to click on a command button... and you want to know what item had focus before you clicked that button
correct?

let me know

Thanks

You mean something like this?

Dim LastControl As String

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox LastControl
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_LostFocus()
    'Store Command2 in LastControl
    LastControl = Command2.Name
End Sub

Private Sub Picture1_LostFocus()
    'Store Picture1 in LastControl
    LastControl = Picture1.Name
End Sub
