getting the form name that called the BO

Ross L. Rooker, Sr. — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 06:27:12 GMT

How do I get a reference to the form or process that called the BO from inside the BO? IE... 1 BO can be called from many forms. I want to insert logic in the BO that requires knowing where the BO was called from. Also, I do not want to have to pass a parameter to the BO for this. somethong like this.bo.parent....

Glad you got it working.

But are you sure that this:

[codesnippet]tblActivityLog.ActivityLog_Source = this.ParentForm.Name;[/codesnippet]

wouldn't get you the desired results?

Got it, here is what is needed:

tblActivityLog.ActivityLog_Source = this.ParentContainer.ToString();

tblActivityLog.ActivityLog_Source = this.ParentForm;

Gets "cannot implicitly convert type 'MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.BaseForm' to 'string'

That is strange, Ross. I get it here just fine.

Would you mind posting a sample of your code and tell us where you are coding it?

I need to get the name of the Me.ParentForm and save it to a string. How would I get this value? The is no such property as Me.ParentForm.Name

Hi Ross.

Inside the BO, you will get it using Me.ParentForm
