its windows application in c#. there's "focus()" and "bool focused" available there, but none of them is working. the reason i think is that i'm writing this coding on button click event, which means that the coding comes on action when button one is clicked. means, even if i assign a shortcut to it, the on focus item would be that button, right? i was trying to find out any property which can let me check the last focused control, but no luck as of now. any help, list? sameer!
