Thread: Sender General information

Sender General information Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 12 Feb 08 8:49 AM

I am trying to use the Sender object from a control change event however I have found very little regarding my options with this object. The auto complete does not seem to work on Sender. I cant find a reference to it in the slx lan dev ref guide and I see very limited examples of its use in DevLogix7. Is there an article here that sheds more light on the sender members that are available? I am specifically trying to access the original value in the control after the change event is fired. Thanks.

Sender is simply an object that has a reference to whatever caused the event to fire. For example, if you add a button and wire up the Click event, the Sender will be a reference to the button. If you have a Memo control and wire up the Change event then the Sender will be the Memo control. The sender parameter allows you to wire up multiple controls to fire the same event handler and you get a reference to the specific control that fired the event using the Sender (it will be a reference to the control that fired it).

Make sense?

Thanks for the reply. Yea that does make sence. Do you know if there is any additional information in the sender object such as original value? Or is it limited to the members of the controll that fired the event?

The Sender itself has nothing. If a textbox fired the event, Sender *is* a textbox. If a button fired the event, Sender *is* a button.
