Friends, I need a small help.

My question is:

How to identify which function or subroutine is invoked in VB6?

Scenario is like this:

I have a function XYZ (example). I will be calling this function from many functions and subroutines. What I have to know is that from which function or subroutine, XYZ is called.

Any idea?

hi nice to see you again
one small suggestion

create a optional parameter and pass the functions name as a parameter


or if you want debug the program and just enabled the break point at the end of the function and press F8 this will lead to the calling area of the program

Here's an example that uses n8wxs' idea:
vb

Private Sub Func1()
XYZ ("func1")
End Sub

Private Sub Func2()
XYZ ("func2")
End Sub

Private Sub XYZ(Optional ByVal calledFrom As String)
    MsgBox "XYZ() Called by " & calledFrom
End Sub

Thanks to n8wxs, thava and born2c0de for the reply.

Currently I am using the same method which you suggested, but I want to make it dynamic now.

I am looking for something similar to the below VB.Net code.

CODE
System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod.Name


Above code will return the function name from where it called. But unfortunately only in .Net not in VB6.

Any idea, how this can be done in VB6?
