Get the focused control

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the control that has the focus on a form?

The following code should at least compile but VS says some path don't have
a return value. Any way to bypass the compiler on this?

But maybe someone has a better way?

Thanks,
Sitar.

static public Control GetFocusedControl(Control parent)
{
if (parent.Focused)
{
return parent;
}
else
{
if (parent.Controls.Count>0)
{
foreach (Control c in parent.Controls)
{
return GetFocusedControl(c);
}
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
}

I think the code snippet that you posted came from the link below. The code
at the link compiles fine.

Nope. It came straight out of my tired brain!
Your code is actually slightly different. I'm going to try that. Thanks.
