ActiveForm Property

Applies To

Screen Object.

Description

You can use the ActiveForm property together with the Screen object to identify or refer to the form that has the focus.

Setting

This property setting contains the form object that has the focus at run time.

This property is available only in Visual Basic and is read-only in all views.

Remarks

You can use the ActiveForm property to refer to an active form together with one of its properties or methods. The following example displays the Name property setting of the active form.

Dim CurrentForm As FormCurrentForm = Screen.ActiveForm"Current form is " & CurrentForm.Name

If a subform has the focus, ActiveForm refers to the main form. If no form or subform has the focus when you use the ActiveForm property, an error occurs.
