Hey again -
I have a bunch of similar controls on a form (A2000), and I'm calling the
same code (with an argument as to what was clicked) when any one of them is
clicked. I'd like to generalize the code without having to modify EACH one
with a self-specific parameter in the call. That is, instead of calling...
called_when_cli cked ("A1")
I just want to run:
called_when_cli cked (my own control name)
....without the parentheses of course. Then I could use the same exact line
of code for all the controls, and decide what to do in the called routine
(table lookups built from the control name). I have tried using
ActiveControl, but since the controls themselves are on a tab page, all I
get is the name of the tab control. And of course, "Me" refers to the form
they're all on. Is there an equivalent for the control itself?
(What I'd REALLY like would be a way to use an object-oriented approach, and
have the CLASS of control defined to make this call automagically, without
having to create a separate event procedure for every one...)

I always list the things I've tried before asking the group to help. That
way we save posts to read through, and makes it clear that I'm not out for a
free answer, but actually expended some effort first. It's my way of
showing appreciation for the help, beforehand.
Anyway, I did try ActiveControl - and I get the name of the Tab control. I
can't see into it any deeper, unless there's another command.

I have a table, Table1 with the fields Test1 and Test2. I created a
form and dropped a tab control onto it and then dropped Test1 and Test2
onto the Tab1.
Here is my code for Test1
Private Sub Test1_GotFocus( )
MsgBox "Focus " & Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Name
End Sub
Private Sub Test1_Click()
MsgBox "Clicked " & Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Name
End Sub
Private Sub TabCtl0_Click()
MsgBox "Tab " & Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Name
End Sub
WHen I run it, the message box say Test1 as I expected. I can set focus
to or click in Test1 and I get a message. I can click into Test2 and
click the tab control and Access echoes Test2. So...I'm sorry I can't
help you out with your problem. You might want to run a test like mine,
see if you get the same results.

Thanks for the second reply - I'll play with it some more.

Hi All,
I've been taking a look at DB Designer 4, and looking through the
documentation (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/doc/index.html) I am a
little unclear on some of their nomenclature:
'1:1' - Ok, one to one. Got it.
'1:1 generalization' - Don't know this. Obviously different somehow from
one to one, but how?
'1:n' - One to many, I assume.

I am an experienced VB 3-6 developer moving to .NET.
In VB 6 i could go through the form controls collection ,
find all the menu items and using security information set-
up I could enable/dissable menu items based on their name.
DOT NOT has appeared to complicate this no end.
1. menuitem & toolbatbutton controls do not expose a name.
2. context menus are Container.Components

I want to set a value in a specific field in the current row of a DataSet.
This seems like the most basic thing to do but I can't find the syntax for
identifying the current row.
IOW, I can do this:

But how do I set SomeRow to the row that the user is currently viewing?

It appears that System.Random would provide an acceptable means through
which to generate a unique value used to identify multiple/concurrent
asynchronous tasks.
The usage of the value under consideration here is that it is supplied to
the AsyncOperationManager.CreateOperation(userSuppliedState) method... with
userSuppliedState being, more or less, a taskId.
In this case, the userSuppliedState {really taskId} is of the object type,...
