Need help with windows form

[newbie]

Hi,

I have a windows form written in C#. The form has multiple textboxes
and multiple buttons.

I want to create a form where when the users clicks on a particulat
textbox and then clicks on a button, a text is added to that textbox.

How do i go about doing this when a user selects on any textbox and
clicks on a buttont to insert text, it insert the text in the correct
textbox (the textbox that the user selected before clicking on the
button)?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Do you mean somethin like ?

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text = textBox2.SelectedText;
}

Not really,

Say they click on button1, it will always add the text "TEST" to the
textbox the cursor was on.

How do I know which textbox to add the word "TEST" too since there are
multiple textboxes on the form and it can be a different textbox
everytime depending on which text box they were working on.

i needed to do something similar. i needed to find out what control
had focus "prior" to clicking or giving focus to a different control,
like a button.

so, what i did was use the MouseEnter event for a button and a
"focusFlag". this way i knew what control (a textbox in this case) had
focus, before the mouse click on the button occurred.

it's a hokey kind of way to do it, but it worked for me.


private void btnClear_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
////get the focus before the mouse click occurs
if (tbProduct.Focused)
focusFlag = "tbProduct";
else if (tbProductCode.Focused)
focusFlag = "tbProductCode";
}
