Get Control Bounds with focus

[Peter]

I have the following code where I get Rectangle Bounds of a text box, but I have other controls on my Windows Form like ListBoxes and Combo Boxes, I want to get Rectangle Bounds when I Enter the control regardless which control I Enter. How would I code Form1_Paint method so rect can equal the Bounds of the current control with focus?

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rect = txtFirstName.Bounds; // I want to get Bounds of current control
// with focus not just txtFirstName
}

Thanks
Peter

Rectangle rect = this.ActiveControl.Bounds;

You will have to check to make sure a control is selected.
