G'day guys,
As an example I'll use notepad.
Notepad is easy, it just has the Edit box and we can find its handle via its class.
However, what if notepad had two edit boxes? How can we find which one currently has focus or is active (not sure how it actually works)
I want to go beyond GetForegroundWindow and I want to get more specific, is it possible to differentiate between a few items and grab only the handle of the one with focus?
Browsed through the API list and the only way I can figure this out is to grab the handle of everything I click on and disable tab so users can't tab between controls.
So is this solved?
To find the active control in the active window (without clicking and disabling) look here: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=281243 :)
Nah, I just found a work around.
The solution in your thread is far better though. Thanks for posting - I did do a search so it is amazing I didn't find it!
Well, since it was my thread, I knew exactly what to search for :D
