Multiple Handler's (Finding Which Control)

[0CODE]

hey, I have a multiple handle procedure and all i need to do is found out which control activated the event (I think it has to do with the "sender&quot



Private Sub alltxts_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles sdt1.KeyPress, sdt2.KeyPress, sdt3.KeyPress, sdt4.KeyPress, sdt5.KeyPress, sdt6.KeyPress, sdt7.KeyPress, sdt8.KeyPress

If valtxt(e.KeyChar) = False And Asc(e.KeyChar) <> Keys.Back Then e.Handled = True : MsgBox(&quot;You can only enter numbers and decimals&quot
End Sub


(for ex: if sdt6_keypress was the one who triggered the event)

______
thanks

It IS Sender. Sender is the object that raised the event. If all Senders are only Textboxes then
Dim txt as Textbox
txt = DirectCast(Sender, TextBox)
then txt can be used for methods etc.

thanks, what if the senders were different controls, how would you work with that, prob. with &quot;gettype&quot;.

You can use TypeOf.
