DataSet and "focused field"

[wkd24154]

Hi everybody,

is there any way of knowing which TField has the focus? I don`t mean the DB...-Components.

You can use the Screen.ActiveControl property, verify whether it is a "known" data-aware control, and if so, obtain the field. For example:

if Screen.ActiveControl is TDBEdit then
  ShowMessage(TDBEdit(Screen.ACtiveControl).Field.Name);

This just checks for TDBEdits.
