Finding the current focused window

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.
Secount, is to find a function that detarmin if a control is focused
the i can make a loop checking all the controls.

Please halp me fint one of this functions.

BTW: I allready tried

Function Isfocused(Handl e as intptr)
Dim c as control = control.fromhan dle(handle)
Return c.focused
End Function

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.

Hi, how can I get the current control having the focus for the active window and be able to SendMessage over so that I can display text on it, eg. display a string in a textbox.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
