Is there a way to check if a specified control have focus beside
handling LostFocus/GotFocus events ?

I'm pretty sure there was in prev version of VB something like
control.HaveFocus() ...

Check the control's 'Focused' property.

Thanks for your quick answer.

Strangely ,"focused" dont appears in intellisense on any of standart
control I checked (Textbox, panel, listbox, on my own derived control).

But it's in help file.

I assume that 'Focused' is marked as an advanced member. You can show
advanced members in the code editor with the "Hide advanced members" option
under "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Text Editor" -> "Basic" -> "General".

Bingo.

It was the case.

Thanks again for your working answers.
 
Rica,

Exercise caution with composite controls - I have a feeling that this
property is not recursive so if an inner control has focus, the outer one
won't report itself as focused.
