Using Properties of Button that Has Focus in VB

[Klogg]

I've got another question. In my calculator program, I want to combine the click event subprocedures of the 0-9, negative, and point buttons so that my code will be shorter and easier to read. I was thinking of doing this by assigning to the text box the Text property of the button that has the focus. The problem is that I don't know how (or if it's possible) to tell the program to use a property of the button that has the focus or was just clicked. If you could tell me how to do this or a different way to do it, I would appreciate it.

You can use the ActiveControl property of the form to get the active control. Then you can check what type of control it is:

If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is Button THen
'do something
End If

Does the condition return true if the active control is a button? If so, how do I tell it to determine which of the buttons is being clicked? Edited October 7, 2003 by Klogg

Never mind. I figured it out. I just have to concatenate Me.ActiveControl.Text to the textbox. Thanks for your help.
