Hi,
While trying to identify a problem I have with a project, I happened, at a breakpoint, to try to print in the command window, the name of the current form.
I had created frmMain as an instance of fclsMain and to my surprise, the command window showed "fclsMain".
I expected it to show "frmMain".
Can anyone explain, please?
What did you use in the command window?
Hi,
"What did you use in the command window?"
VB Code:
Is frmMain the variable name? Me.Name will return whatever is set as in the Name property.
Hi,
"Is frmMain the variable name? Me.Name will return whatever is set as in the Name property."
frmMain is the instance of fclsMain
Are you saying that frmName.Name will hold the same contents as fclsMain.Name? If so, why do I refer to objects in frmMain as, eg. "frmMain.txtOne" ?
If frmMain is an instance of fclsMain and fclsMain has the name set at designtime then frmMain will have the same name as what was set at designtime. This is because the things you set at designtime are executed in the constructor of the object which gets called for every instance. So unless you change the name property at runtime then every instance of fclsMain will have the same name. The name is just a property like any other and has no bearing on how you refer to the object.
Hi Edneeis,
Got it!
Many thanks.
