Question Checking for Textbox Focus


I need code to check and see which textbox has focus without setting focus so that I can apply my Cut/Copy/Paste procedures to.

Default Re: Checking for Textbox Focus

On a form, you could use me.ActiveControl

If typeof me.ActiveControl is textbox then
'edit or modify me.ActiveControl
End If

If you want to know which textbox is active, put it in a control array.

If typeof me.activecontrol is textbox then
i% = me.activecontrol.index
endif

or set and check the tags

if typeof me.activecontrol is textbox then
i%=me.activecontrol.tag
endif
