Hi i am trying to find the handle of the current focused control in
all the running application.
I tried GETFOCUS() but it gave the the handle only of the current
thread

There are 2 options of solving it.
One, is to find an API function that do it.
Secount, is to find a function that detarmin if a control is focused
the i can make a loop checking all the controls.

Please halp me fint one of this functions.

BTW: I allready tried

Function Isfocused(Handle as intptr)
Dim c as control = control.fromhandle(handle)
Return c.focused
End Function

But This works only for .net controls

I have spend hours trying to solve this, Pleeeaaasee help me

ActiveControl gives the focused control only on the current form. i
need a function that gives the focused control on the focused
application.
