Control.Focused Property
Gets a value indicating whether the control has input focus.
[Visual Basic] Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Focused As Boolean [C#] public virtual bool Focused {get;} [C++] public: __property virtual bool get_Focused(); [JScript] public function get Focused() : Boolean;
Property Value
true if the control has focus; otherwise, false.
Remarks
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.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example disables a MenuItem if a TextBox does not have focus. This example assumes 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; } [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; }
