Wich control has the focus ?

[Peter Stojkovic]

I have the following problem

VS.2003 Visual Basic Windows XP

My Applictaion has only keyboard inputs. There is no mouse available.

Sometimes my program does not go on,
because any other control then i expected has gone focus or is activated.

So I dont know which control has focus in this moment.

Is there any tool available, so that i can see recognize the active window
and control ??


THX

Hello Peter,

You can use the ActiveControl property of a form (or anything which implements
the IContainerControl interface for that matter) to determine which control
is active.

Hope this helps,

You can use the form's 'ActiveControl' property to determine the control
which is currently focused. Then you can set the focus to another control
by calling its 'Focus' or 'Select' method.
