Where is GetFocus()?

[Guest]

What is the .NET equivalent to the Win32 API function GetFocus()?

I'm currently iterating the controls on my form and testing Focused. I've
been hunting around for hours trying to find where they stuck GetFocus.

To set the focus:
Every System.Windows.Forms.Control has a Focus() method, thus since TextBox
is ultimately derived from Control you can call Focus() on your TextBox to
set the focus to your TextBox.

To see if a control has got the focus:
Every Control has a boolean property named Focused that you can check to see
whether or not your control is Focused. This property calls the Win32 API
function GetFocus() behind the scenes.

Check out the form's 'ActiveControl' method.

Thank you. I was hunting on the word 'focus' and variations.
