using vb controls dinamically

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?

Code:

---

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

---

yes , you understand correctly LAFOR .

(sorry. my explanation is very confusing)

thank you fo your answer megatron

can't I use control's collection to find last focused item.
