Get current form name

Question

_{Monday, February 23, 2015 1:59 PM}

I thought this would have been easier. I want to retrieve the name of the current form (the one I just entered). Short of passing the form name as a parameter from the parent form is there an easy way.

I tried

Me.ActiveForm

Form.ActiveForm

Any ideas?

Me.Name ?

or

        Dim currentForm As Form = Form.ActiveForm
        MessageBox.Show(currentForm.Name)

If you are inside some procedure of the form, then try Me.GetType.Name too. It depends on details, perhaps the problem can be solved differently without these strings.

Many thanks to both of you. It works.
