Sender Parent Form On A Module

[pdabasic]

Hy!

I try to get the Control(SenderFullName,Button).Name On An "Effect Sub" holder module and after these I would like to get the sender button "parent form" with the Door Libray but it doesn't work

Any Suggest?

In the IDE Sender and SenderFullName are only available in the event Sub and not in Subs called by the event Sub. The reason for this is that they are actually local variables in the event Sub. This is not however true for a compiled application where they are effectively global variables.

Attached is a modified app that does what you want. Rather than try to explain here I've left debugging MsgBoxes in so you can see what is happening. Note that is it is not really a good idea to name controls with the same name as language keywords as this can cause confusion so I have renamed the button.

Thank you Agraham!

My attach is only a sample I use your naming advice in my apps

Thank you again!

Note that the code as posted will run in the IDE but not compiled as when compiled the form name will have two underscores at the beginning whereas in the IDE there is only one. You will have to do a check for that in your real application.
