Not enough. It could be a control in one of many containers of the same class, and a member in each of these containers would have the same .name. We'd have form.container1.textbox1, form.container2.textbox1 again etc. Instead, compobj(thisform.activecontrol, this) would do it.

Though it's possible that nothing has control at the time, i.e. thisform.activecontrol may be null, so some checking needs to be done.
