how to get the form

[filip stas]

how can I get the name of a form (or the form as object) to which a control belongs for example a menuitem. How can I get the form through the menuitem?

Have a look at the Container property - it *might* be what you want,
but I'm not going to guarantee it In the case of MenuItem, you might
be best to get the Menu using the Parent property first, then get the
container of the Menu.

doesn't seem to work

In what way? What happens when you try it? How far have you gone down
the road of debugging it?

when I use the watch option during debugging. I'm looking to the
parent and the container properties. But at the end it is "Nothing"

Hmm... in that case, I'm afraid I don't know.

Do not make multiposts. You already got answers in the
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb ng.
