How to get the form active control?

Question

Is there a way to get the form active control? I was checking in the help for the "Support.GetActiveControl" method but it isn't supported :) for the Compact Framework.

I suppose that I can track the focus by adding a custom GotFocus event handler to all the form controls, but I'm looking for a more generic way that can be implemented for any form.

Answer 1

You can iterate over all the controls in the form and check which one is focused.

Answer 2

I'm not sure but I think ContainerControl.ActiveControl might work in CF.
