sender.???

[mevets]

I am trying to figure out how to decifer the .name, .tag, etc of a control that sent the user to a subroutine.

I know its something to the extent of

Ctype(sender.name, string)

That ofcourse does not work, but an example I had and lost I think described the solution that way. Any suggestions?

If you know sender is Control, and this is the general kind of object you want to fetch from the methods sender parameter then:

dim ctl as control = directcast(sender,control)
messagebox.show(ctl.Name)
