Anyone know how to determine which Gadget has *Focus*...
I have a small applet with about 20 Text boxes - I'm using drag 'n' dropped files from
Explorer to fill in individual boxes. I'd like to be able to drop the file into the
current text box that has focus...
Alternately, I might try using Mouse X / Y co-ordinates (mmm! nasty) - maybe not.

Yes, this will do it; but bear in mind it returns the HANDLE, and not GADGET
NUMBER, of the gadget with the focus. So make sure you create all gadgets
with a handle (eg. sg1_hWnd=StringGadget[...]) or use the GadgetID command
to get the handle of your gadgets.
(PS. Just adding to your tip, Franco -- not implying you didn't know this).

Hey thanks fellas - I appreciate your response - I didn't know about the GetFocus_() and probably wouldnt have made the connection to using the GadgetID() command to determine the gadget handle without coming across it by accident in the manual.
I'm surprised that GetFocus_() isn't implemented in the standard PB commandset (It would have been documented / X-Platform etc...)
Anyway - thanks again...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.
