Which TextBox control has focus?

[DiverDan]

First, I'd like to thank all these people for their time and patience in helping us newbies.

 

I have a form with many textboxes. I'd like to know which form has focus so that Cut, Copy, Paste can work on it. And I can't understand how to find which textbox has focus.

Use

Me.ActiveControl

to return the currently active control

on a form.

Ok...I got the paste command;

If Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then

Me.ActiveControl.Text = Me.ActiveControl.Text & Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetData(DataFormats.Text)

End If

 

But I'm having a bit of a problem with the copy and cut commands...Please Help!

I think Textboxes have proper clipboard commands:

 

DirectCast(Me.ActiveControl, TextBox).Cut()

[DiverDan]

divil...it works great! I thought only RTF boxes were capabile of proper clipboard commands...guess not.

 

Thanks for your help!

Cut:

DirectCast(Me.ActiveControl, TextBox).Cut()

 

Copy:

DirectCast(Me.ActiveControl, TextBox).Copy()

 

Paste:

If Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then

DirectCast(Me.ActiveControl, TextBox).Paste()

 

It doesn't get any simplier...Thanks again divil!!!
