[Gambas-user] Question to controls

[Bruce Steers]

Do you know of the "Last" property?

Any event call like GotFocus() comes with the "Last" property.
it will be the object that called the event regardless of it's name.
(also "Control" may lack some properties you wish to access unique to a
TextBox, if so try "Object" instead or even better if you know the type of
control use that explicitly)
Ie.

*Public ctrl As Control*

*Public obj As Object*

*Public Sub DA_nachname_GotFocus()*
*  ctrl = Last*
*  obj = Last*
*End*

Or
(using this method will give you ALL the available textbox properties)


*Public ctrlTBox As TextBox*

*Public Sub DA_nachname_GotFocus()*
*  ctrlTBox = Last*
*End*
