Check for Control's Focus 2

[Mugs321]

Hey all,
I'd imagine this is a simple question but I haven't been able to find anything on it.

I have a 'remove' button that should be disabled if a certain listbox is empty. The problem is, if the remove button has focus at the time of being disabled (like if I use the button to remove the last item in said listbox) I get an error stating that I cannot disable a control that has focus.

Is there any way to check if a certain control has focus so I can change the focus to another control prior to disabling the button?

Thx,
Dave

Try this:

If screen.activecontrol.name="YOURCONTROLSNAME" then
  thiscontrol.setfocus
  YOURCONTROLSNAME.ENABLED=FALSE
END IF

Somthing along those lines should get you started.

I tried to have patience but it took to long! -DW

Hello:

Use the "ActiveControl" method. That will show which control has the focus. Its in the help.
