====== FOCUS property ======


 
==== Applies To ====
 
Interactive controls
 
==== Description ====
 
Used to determine if a control has focus, or to set focus to a control. Returns the name of the object that has focus.
 
==== Usage ====
 
//focusobject// = **Get_Property**(//windowname//, "**FOCUS**")

//currentfocus// = **Get_Property**("**SYSTEM**", "**FOCUS**")

If the window specified in //windowname// is not active, then //focusobject// will be the object that will get focus as soon as the window is activated.

//existingprop// = **Set_Property**(//objectname//, "**FOCUS**", //value//)

//existingprop// = **Set_Property**("**SYSTEM**", "**FOCUS**", //appwindow//)

In the first method, Set_Property suppresses all events generated because of focus change; the second method does not.

 
==== Remarks ====
 
Values passed in Set_Property:
