help pls! :(

VB Code:

If Not txtSend.SelStart = "" Then

why do i get a type mismatch? :confused:
also, thats the method im using to check if the control is in focus - is there another way to check if a control is focussed?

Because SelStart is looking for a number

VB Code:

bRTBoxHasFocus As Boolean
 
Private Sub RichTextBox1_GotFocus()
    bRTBoxHasFocus = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub RichTextBox1_LostFocus()
    bRTBoxHasFocus = True
End Sub

bRTBoxHasFocus will be true if the richtextbox has focus, false if not.

could u use that ?

This probably isn't what you are looking for, but Screen.ActiveControl.Name will get you the name of the control that has the focus.

Peet.... I'm afraid to say that your events are swapped.

.... or the settings for the boolean

oops... thanks Mc Brain :)
