Control Focus

[TouchOdeath]

This is just a simple script to see if the control has focus or not. All you have to do is say:

if ControlGetFocus($handle) <> "" then 
;do this code
endif

Example Script:

Run("notepad.exe")
While ControlGetFocus("[CLASS:Notepad]") = ""
sleep(1)
WEnd
MsgBox(0,ControlGetFocus("[CLASS:Notepad]"),"")

In this example its kindof used in place of winwait. But its interesting just because I have never thought of ControlGetFocus like that. Because it returns the ClassNN and I thought to myself "well what good is that" and now it just occured to me. If ControlGetFocus returns "" then the control isnt there or isnt focused.

You missed something:

sleep(1) should be sleep(10) or maybe sleep(0). I don't blame you since it is not documented, but I thought you may want to know that for the future. You can read more about that in THIS thread.

I was aware of that. sleep(1) or sleep(0) will work itself out to be sleep(10) anyways. So the problem fixes itself, but ya thanks for pointing that out.
