How do I get hold of the currently focused Control?

The .Net framework libraries do not provide you an API to query for the focused Control. You have to invoke a windows API to do so:

 
[C#] 
public class MyForm : Form 
{ 
   [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Winapi)] 
internal static extern IntPtr GetFocus(); 

private Control GetFocusedControl() 
{ 
   Control focusedControl = null; 

   // To get hold of the focused control: 
   IntPtr focusedHandle = GetFocus(); 

   // Note that if the focused Control is not a .Net control, 
   //then this will return null.
   if(focusedHandle != IntPtr.Zero) 
      focusedControl = Control.FromHandle(focusedHandle); 
    
   return focusedControl; 
} 
}
