How to determine expression of form?

[SYN]

Hi,
can anyone help me with this: I create several forms and at any moment I want to know the expression of the active form.
for example

MyForm1 = CreateObject("MainForm&quot
MyForm2 = CreateObject("MainForm&quot

How will I know at any moment which is the active form
MyForm1 or MyForm2 ?

lcName = _SCREEN.ActiveForm.Name
? lcName

Chris,

lcName = _SCREEN.ActiveForm.Name gives the name of the form

I can't use that because I want to add an object like this:

MyForm1 = CreateObject("MainForm&quot
MyForm2 = CreateObject("MainForm&quot


than later...
lcName = determine the expression, f.e. Myform1

lcName.ADDOBJECT( "Myline" , 'line' )

You understand?

I probably misunderstood your question.

Are you creating a number of instances of the same form? HTH

the idea is that _SCREEN holds the key to what you are looking to do. Chirs pointed out that _SCREEN.ActiveForm.Name can provide the name of the form. that way you could use this for decision making. then use
_SCREEN.ActiveForm.AddObject() to add the object.
the help file list all the properties and methods of _SCREEN. Attitude is Everything

Danceman and Chris,

thanks. With the _screen.activeform.addobject the problem is solved....
