Test if control has focus

[Curry]

Hi all,

This will be a quick one...I have searched and cannot find this.

I want to test if a particular control has the focus
eg

if gotfocus(mytextbox) then
dosomething
endif

the gotfocus(mytextbox) is not correct I know...can someone tell me what is correct top do this.

Thanks

Not sure what you're trying to do, but each control has a got focus event. Would that be the appropriate place for your code, making the test unnecessary? Failing that, have you looked at the ActiveControl Property in VBA Help?

I really just need to know if there is a way of testing if a control has currently got focus....I assumed I could do it like the test for null ie..
if isnull(Textbox) then
dosomething
endif

I have tried

if me.textbox.setfocus = true then
dosomething
endif

however this is also incorrect...

Is there anything similar to acheive what I want?
