Discovering which dw has focus

[Woody Splawn]

I have a window with two datawindows in it. I have a button with some
code it it. When I select the botton, I would like to identify which
dw the user was on before selecting the button so I can return there
after the code is run.

The problem is that by the time the code in the cliked event of the
button is reached, the active dw has already lost focus and I
therefore do not know how to identify it.

Could someone help me with this?

I've seen this handled in a primitive manner: by keeping an instance
variable which indicates the "latest" DW. Each time a DataWindow
gets/loses focus, the instance variable is updated.

Working with sheets (and using toolbars instead of command buttons) is
another way of avoiding this problem.

Hi Woody:

Try GetFocus() Function. Read Help and the code example for this
function

Hope this helps

Thank you for responding.

I understand what your saying but that's the problem. With
the code on a button, your focus is on the button and the object you
were on has lost focus.
