pasting into a textbox

I am using a calculator program and have a Paste button so that I can paste the readout or answer into a textbox on another form. In other words, I use a form (Form1) with a textbox (Text1) and I want to be able to call up the calculator form, run a calculation and then paste the result into the Form1.Text1 textbox. I have several textboxes on Form1, so I need to make sure that I paste the result into the right textbox.

I want to paste in in the textbox that has the focus. I can't figure out how to tell the Calculator Paste command button how to identify the textbox that has the focus on Form1.

Any help? Thanks.

Somewhat confused on this one. If you are sending text to a textbox you must know where you are sending it. If you call form2(Calc) and do your cal why can't your just say.
form2.textWhatever.text = form1.text1.text

Maybe I am missing something so easy:

When I call up the Calculator form and calculate the numbers (e.g., 7 + 8 =15) and I click the Paste command button on the Calculator form, how does the Calculator form know which textbox on Form1 to put "15" in?

Form1 has a number of textboxes in a control array ranging from Text1(0) to Text1(15).

How does the Calculator Paste button know to put the answer "15" in Form1.Text1(6), for example.

Thanks.

I was missing something...thought you were using your own calculator program not Calc...

Can you use this as a walk around?

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'here I shell calc and do my calculation and copy
Shell "c:\windows\calc.exe"
'Close calc

End Sub


Private Sub Command2_Click()
'here I tell text1 to get the clipboard (copied calculation)
  Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetText(vbCFText)   ' Get Clipboard text.
  
End Sub

I thought about that, but there I am coding each individual textbox on Form1 for that.

I have written the program where a user can double click (DblClick Event) on any textbox (there are about 15, ranging from Text1(0) to Text1(14)). The calculator is then called up. I am using the Calculator project/form that came with VB6, except I added a command button captioned "Paste."

I want my application to remember which textbox (e.g., text1(6)) was double clicked, so that when I click Paste, the readout of the Calculator is pasted into the textbox that I double clicked.
