Hi David,
You mean _screen.activeform.activecontrol.name.accessor(), that is triggered each time vfp changes the vale of the name of the activecontrol?
Right! But VFP6 has not landed on my PC yet :(. But you're right, that would be nice, because having controls registering themselves in the form would mean that I have to code that in each base class, and containers (grids, pageframes etc...) would definitely pose problems I do not even want to look into at this stage.
Thanks.
Marc
