SUB NAME IN VB6

Nadalik · June 15th, 2006, 06:20 AM

Hi, let's say I'm in a 'Command4_Click()' sub.

Is it any possible way how I may get that name known in my code?

I may get form name via Me.name - that works. Good to know if it is possible to get sub name...

There is no way.
When I have wanted to know this, I have had to add a global variable, and upon entering the sub, 1st thing:

Code:

Private Sub Command4_Click()
    gstrSubName = "Command4_Click()"
    ' More code . . .
End Sub

When code is compiled, all sub names, variable names. etc, are eliminated and turned into more machine-compatible tokens, which later get turned into specific addresses.

Brian, I want to share what I have found regarding that. Here is a link of add-ins I use and it works great! It adds error handling to the sub or even module. Puts first some classes. All works for me 100%. Very good free software. I think any VB6 programmer must use that.

Just wanted to help because I have found it. And when that script makes a code it puts a sub name as a parameter automatically. That is a dream really. No more crashes. 24/7 !!! :)
