Audit help

[Phrog30]

I'm creating an audit system which logs several things to a DB.  I would like to grab the component name as well as form name the component is on.  Example, when a basicbutton is pressed I will log the user, datetime, and the button name and the form the button is on.  I have figured out everything but the form name.  The issue is the audit event is in the controls solution (basicbutton code) so when I try to find the form with the component is comes back as nothing.  Is it possible to cross solutions and find a form searching a control?  It's easy to go from AdvancedHMI solution to AdvancedHMIControls solution, but not the other way around.  Any guidance is much appreciated.

Would something like this do it:

Code: [Select]

       Dim pf As Control
        '* Keep going up the tree until we find the top level parent
        pf = Parent
        While (pf IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (Not (TypeOf (pf) Is Form))
            If pf.Parent IsNot Nothing Then
                pf = pf.Parent
            Else
                Exit While
            End If
        End While

        MsgBox(DirectCast(pf, Form).Name)

Yes sir, that works like a champ.  Thanks...

I dare the end user to say, "No, we didn't hit that button!!"....

Is there anyway that when an event occurs in the controls solution that I could somehow trigger an event in the advancedhmi solution?

Do you mean an existing event, such as the Click event of a BasicButton, or an event that doesn't exist, such as a value changing of a custom property.

Either, but as an example if on a click event how could I "send" this across to the HMI solution and then pick this up. Its easy from HMI to controls, but not the other way.
