1 New Member
Hi i am trying to find the handle of the current focused control in all the running application.
I tried GETFOCUS() but it gave the the handle only of the current thread

There are 2 options of solving it.
One, is to find an API function that do it.
Secound, is to find a function that detarmin if a control is focused the i can make a loop checking all the controls.

BTW: I allready tried
Function Isfocused(Handl e as intptr)
Dim c as control = control.fromhan dle(handle)
return c.focused
But This works only for .net controls

I have spend hours trying to solve this, Pleeeaaasee help me

Is there any way to find a string representing an object's class, which will work in Internet Explorer 6? "typeof" doesn't work -- it returns "object" for all objects: x = window.open('http://www.yahoo.com/'); alert(typeof x); And I found this page: http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/js20-2002-04/core/expressions.html

I'm looking for ideas how to implement a tool window with several buttons which, once clicked, should paste certain character in to the active EditBox in an other window of my application. The problem is to know which EditBox was focused before the focus went to the tool window, and then paste the character to the EditBox, but one apparent solution (logging all Windows events) is too time consuming.

What I want is essentially the same effect as SendKey(). I am using the Rs232 class for .net from Microsoft where I need to get the input from the COM port and display the value in the vb.net form. I tried using SendKey() but it doesn't show the value on the form...
