Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
Control..::.Focused Property

Gets a value indicating whether the control has input focus.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic
<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Focused As Boolean
C#
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public virtual bool Focused { get; }
Visual C++
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public:
virtual property bool Focused {
    bool get ();
}
F#
[<BrowsableAttribute(false)>]
abstract Focused : bool
[<BrowsableAttribute(false)>]
override Focused : bool

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the control has focus; otherwise, false.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding the Focused property in a derived class, use the base class's Focused property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation.

The following code example disables a MenuItem if a TextBox does not have focus. This example requires that you have a Form with a TextBox named textBox1 and two MenuItem objects named menuItemEdit and menuItemEditInsertCustomerInfo.

Visual Basic
Private Sub menuItemEdit_Popup(sender As Object, _
  e As EventArgs) Handles menuItemEdit.Popup
   ' Disable the menu item if the text box does not have focus.
   Me.menuItemEditInsertCustomerInfo.Enabled = Me.textBox1.Focused
End Sub
C#
private void menuItemEdit_Popup(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // Disable the menu item if the text box does not have focus.
   this.menuItemEditInsertCustomerInfo.Enabled = this.textBox1.Focused;
}
Visual C++
private:
   void menuItemEdit_Popup( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Disable the menu item if the text box does not have focus.
      this->menuItemEditInsertCustomerInfo->Enabled = this->textBox1->Focused;
   }
