i'm a developer with experience in c# but have no experience in VB 6.0.I'm looking for a way to capture form events at application level .Is it possible in VB 6.0.Plz do not give replies like moving to dot net.That cannot be done .The problem is that my application has hunders of forms spread across multiple projects.I'm looking for tracking the time each form has been active.I know it can  be done at the form level,but it wll require code changes at each form  which will be quite cumbersome.

I'm open to any ideas on this.Thanks in advance.

Hi Are they hosted in an MDI Parent? If so, you could get the child window changing ( from the downloads section on this form ), but there's no simple way of picking up all of the events.

What events are you capturing?
Are they the standard windows messages? (ie. activate and stuff).
If so, you could try the following.

create a class called "clsMyFormEventHandler" or something

add

public withevents m_VBForm as form

then, every time you have the code "set frm = new form1", create a new instance of this class and set the property.

This will allow you to put all of your form-event code in the same class.

Hope this points you in the right direction.
