Event Handling: Detecting The Control

[ayozzhero]

Dim editmode as boolean
Private Sub UpperPart_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _
Handles txtCBName.KeyPress, txtAccNo.KeyPress, _
txtNote.KeyPress, txtChequeNo.KeyPress, txtAddress.KeyPress
e.Handled = Not editmode
End Sub

That is a part of my code. How do I detect in which control (textbox) actually the key is pressed. e.g. I want to display (msgbox) the textbox content everytime a key is pressed in the textbox

Thank you

i hope this helps

Dim Textbox as Textbox = CType(sender, Textbox)
'to do something specific with a certain textbox:
Select Case Textbox.Name
  Case "txtCBName"
	'Code
  Case "txtAccNo"
	'Code
  Case "txtNote"
	'Code
  Case "txtChequeNo"
	'Code
  Case "txtAddress"
	'Code
End Select
'simply display a messagebox
Messagebox.Show(Textbox.Text, Textbox.Name)
'Above Messagebox will show the contents of the textbox with the textbox's name in the title bar
