Detecting or reading the name of a textbox

Further, I have to agree with the question regarding textboxes in frames.

AND, if you are creating the textboxes (in the frame) dynamically - at run-
time - then you are indeed stuck. For you are correct, the MouseDown is not
there. You could possibkly write it in anyway, and make sure the name is the
nameof the in-the-future textbox.

I also have to say that unless there is areal serious reason for it, I rarely
create controls at run-time. It is much much easier to make controls
visible/invisble as required. I do often dynamically resize things, but
things that are already there.

Being already there, but say, resized tiny and invisible, all events for that
control are accessible.

Hi Fumei,

because the code in userform mousedown
would be required only once, just for the form,
otherwise you would need the code for a textbox mousedown
for each textbox.
