Description
Used to determine if a control has focus, or to set focus to a control. Returns the name of the object that has focus.
Usage
focusobject = Get_Property (windowname, "FOCUS")
currentfocus = Get_Property ("SYSTEM", "FOCUS")
If the window specified in windowname is not active, then focusobject will be the object that will get focus as soon as the window is activated.
existingprop = Set_Property(objectname, "FOCUS", value)
existingprop = Set_Property("SYSTEM", "FOCUS", appwindow)
In the first method, Set_Property suppresses all events generated because of focus change; the second method does not.
Remarks
Values passed in Set_Property:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Value | A Boolean value (1 or 0, where 1 means that the control will have focus and 0 means that no control will have focus). |
| objectname | Name of control in windowname to receive focus. |
| appwindow | Name of window, in a multi-window application. |
Returns
Values returned by both Get_Property and Set_Property:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| focusobject | Control, in the current window, that has focus. |
| existingprop | Object with focus, when Set_Property was run. |
