Hi benoit. In the code tree one of my forms, for arguments sake, my work cover form is called FWorkCover (note the capitalisation)
I've a subroutine, pivotal to my clinical program where I add new instances of forms onto my main workspace workspace, using this sort of logic: Public sub Add_Page(pagename as string) Dim Form_Workcover as FWorkcover (note the C not capitalised as I'd typed it wrongly) Select case pagename case "workcover" Form_Workcover = new FWorkcover (some_container) End select end ie when i did the original Dim Form_Workcover I'd typed Fworkcover (no caps for the C in workcover, instead of FWorkCover which is the name in the code tree. This didn't seem to affect anything at all. In another part of my program I had occasion to test which form was active on the workspace tab, and, according to its name, activate or inactivate buttons for new, print,preview etc like as follows. I'd assumed, that as in the code tree the form was FWorkCover, that was the name I'd be testing for (not realising that I'd not capped the 'C' of FWorkcover in the other routine. For Each page In WorkspaceEditor.Windows If page = WorkspaceEditor.ActiveWindow Then For Each hctrl In page.VBoxEditor.Children If hctrl Is Form Then Select Case hctrl.Name Case "FWorkCover" 'activate appropriate buttons etc End Select I kept on getting inconsistant results and when I checked it out, I noticed that hctrl.name here was "FWorkcover" when i went back and corrected the original name, it was then FWorkCover and worked. So the question is how come it is possible to create a new instance of a form, when not using the exactly capitalised name fo the original form? Hope that makes sense Regards Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
