I just tested again and found that win.getfocus returns always the same information as I see in Infobar. The only difference is that getfocus records where the input cursor is. Because Infobar uses win.handlefrompoint(zTargetX,zTargetY) I have to place the ordinary mouse pointer over the input box where the input cursor is; then I get exactly the same handle as getfocus. Test: Make a hotkey Win+K, command: win.debug(win.getfocus) Make the debug window ontop. Use the hotkey for each of these in turn: - click a checkbox in metapad options - place the cursor in the Primary external viewer text box - place the cursor in the Secondary external viewer text box All those were on the same tab in the Options dialog. Each returns a different handle, using win.getfocus. Use the hotkey for each of these in turn: - place the cursor in the EnterID box on the Yahoo login page - then place the cursor in the Password box - then select some ordinary text (not an input box) on the same page - open a different webpage in the same window: Google advanced search - place the cursor in various Google input fields All those return the same handle as each other, using win.getfocus, In a browser, the only way I can get a different handle when using win.getfocus is by opening a second MDI window. In that second window, all tests return the same handle as each other, but that is a different handle from in the first MDI window. Conclusion: using win.getfocus and win.setfocus code will enable returning to the same child. In the case of standard Windows windows, that means returning to the same input box, or even the same checkbox. In the case of an input box embedded in an html page, it only means returning to the same large document window, but not to the same input box. ------------------------ Yahoo!
