Control Array / Control Names / Control Types

[Mike Draper]

I have a form with a bunch controls on it.
Is there an array of controls that I can go through to, for instance, set
them all to ReadOnly? As I go through this array can I determine the name
and type of each control?
How can I determine the name of the currently active control so I can use
the same event method for a group of controls?
'cVarName' does not seem available in the reference 'oSender:cVarName'

Mike,
The array you are loking for is oForm:aControls. The determine his type you
can use the property ClassName, but I am afraid the cVarName property is
ONLY available at design time. BTW you can use the 'Cargo' property for your
own needs.

So, I would have to add the name of each control to the 'Cargo' to identify
the name of the current (or active) control?

It's not needed in almost cases. In general, the way to check which is the
oSender is similar to:
METHOD Button1Click( oSender )
IF oSender == ::oButton1
...
ELSEIF oSender == ::oButton2
...
...
ENDIF
RETURN Nil
However, tell us what do you want to do and we could help.
