Form active or in focus?

[Joosttt]

Hi,
In my application I want to know if a certain form is active or in focus. There seems to be no easy way to do this. I found the Form.ActiveForm property on MSDN here: Form.ActiveForm Property (System.Windows.Forms)

But i'm having trouble using this with the door library. Is there a way to use it in basic4ppc? Or is there a more easy way of finding the active form?

Thanks.

If you know which Form you want to check the ContainsFocus property gets a value indicating whether the control, or one of its child controls, currently has the input focus.

    Obj1.New1(False)
   Obj1.FromControl("Form1")
   Obj1.Value = Obj1.GetProperty("ContainsFocus")   
   Focussed = Obj1.RunMethod("ToString")
   Msgbox(Focussed)

The next version includes a new property Form.Visible which will tell you if the form is the visible form.

Hi Agraham and Erel,
Thanks for both replies. For now I can use Agraham's solution.

Good thing that a Form.visible property will be included in the next version. :sign0060:
