Hi,

Suppose the following:
I have a modal dialog with 2 EditStrings (with names edField1 and edField2) and one EditInt (with name edField3) and I want to do different things if the focus is on EditStrings or in the EditInt.

I can diferentiate the EditInt from EditString with the following code:

EditInt *pEditInt=NULL;
EditString *pEditStr=NULL;

pEditStr=dynamic_cast<EditString *>(GetFocusCtrl());
if(pEditStr) //It is one of the edit strings
{
...
}

pEditInt=dynamic_cast<EditInt*>(GetFocusCtrl());
if(pEditInt) //It is the EditInt
{
...
}

How can I know if the focus is in the edField1 or in edField2?

Many thanks

Alex

Is there any good reason why you can't just compare addresses?

Ctrl * focus = GetFocusCtrl();
if (focus == &edField1) {
// First EditString
}
else if (focus == &edField2) {
// Second EditString
}
else if (focus == &edField3) {
// EditInt
}

Or:
