I find that when I use an editable combo box I can't determine focus by using

if GetFocus_() = GadgetID(#my_combo)

.. I'm guessing it's because an editable combo box is a bunch of string gadgets and those are actually the gadgets with the focus? How might I see if one of those string gadgets belonging to my combo has the focus?

Thanks!

The edit control inside a combobox is it's child window, so you can get the
handle, and test like this:

Code: Select all

If GetFocus_() = GetWindow_(GadgetID(#my_combo), #GW_CHILD)
