Window focus (URGENT)
Hi,
I have a frame window with a CListView and a CEdit control in a toolbar.
Upon pressing the up- and down keys, there is supposed to be some action in the CEdit control.
I am handling this in PreTranslateMessage of my MainFrame.
The problem is that when the ClistView has the focus and a line is selected, using the up and down keys also changes the CEdit. So, I need to add a criteria in the PreTanslateMessage
(if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN) && (pMsg->wParam == VK_DOWN) && .....)
to allow changes in the CEdit only if it has the input focus. I tried GetFocus but this allways return a CWnd* if ANY window has the focus.
I wonder how I can find out that this special window has the focus.

You can compare the m_hWnd-Members. Something like:
CWnd *pWnd = GetFocus();
if (pWnd->m_hWnd == m_Edit.m_hWnd)
{ // Focus is hWnd
}
should work.

I'm very unsure, but try to compare pointer to CWnd objects:
if (GetFocus() == &m_Edit)

This is strange, my code works here without a problem. Have a look at the pWnd->m_hWnd you are getting back from GetFocus() and use Spy++ to see, which window is it when the focus is inside your edit.

Hi,
the problem is solved.
if I use martho's method but with the API version of GetFocus it works.
HWND curWnd = ::GetFocus();
if (curWnd == m_Edit.m_hWnd)
{ // Focus is hWnd
}
I think it is maybe because curWnd must be of type HWND!?
