Hi there,

How can i get the handle of the control with the keyboards focus. I
would use GetFocus (or GetKeyboardFocus) but that does not work with
other applications. Is there any other way that I can retrieve the
handle of the control?

Please send email to odisoft@hotmail.com

Regards
James Smith

Hello
Try this code

var
  HandleControl: HWND;
begin
  {...}
  HandleControl = Screen.ActiveControl.Handle;
  {...}
end;

Best regards
Alex Zverev
