How can I get previous windows focus ?

Hello.

I want to get previous window's focus.
My program need to know prevoius focus of anoter windows.

Thank you.

The window that previously had focus is passed to CWnd::OnSetFocus(). You can store its handle (not the pointer itself!) for later use.

One way to do this is to have each control record its ID in a global variable in its OnKillFocus event handler. Then you can tell which control had the last.

Another way is to implement a OnSetFocus handler. It gets a pointer to the previous controls CWnd as an argument .

Hi

Thank you.

That helps me.

One more add.. How can I get focus of previous window's component.
For example If i did input edit box on windows or dialog box that has a lot of edit boxs, then How can I know Which has the previous focus ?

Please help me ...

Its the one passed to you in OnSetFocus(CWnd *pWnd);

pWnd is the previous control's window.

pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID( ) ; // to get its ID, if that's what you need

Thank you So much Bill.

I really appreciate your help.
