Hi,
I am pretty new at this, and that's why this question might be not possible, but anyway. I have create a new control class based on the datagrid. I am storing the settings of the grid in a database, mapping name column name etc, and I have managed to create the grid in my forms. However my problem now is that I want to have a filter on the dataset in the class to filter on the correct grid. When I use me.name in the class it returns an empty string, but I guess there should be a way to retrieve the name of the datagrid I created on my form. Or is there a better solution to do this?

Thanks in advance

does this new control you have created INHERIT from the datagrid control?
if so then you would need to call MyBase.Name in VB.NET.

Hi Patrick
Yes I inherit the datagrid in my class. I tried your solution just by putting a line like
msgbox(mybase.name)
after the initialize call, but still it remain empty. Any suggestions

Cheer
