How to check if a window is in focus

Posted on by Roaa Bahran 250

Hello,

I know I can use the isopen() function to check whether or not a window is open but if there is more than 1 window open how can I find out which one is in focus?

 Thank You.

    Hi Roaa

     Unfortunately, I do not see an easy way to achieve this, even if you are planning to write some customization. If you are planning to customize (even though it might be very cumbersome), you can do this.

    1. Create a integer global field.
    2. Write a window activate trigger on the window which you need to check the focus on, and capture the resource ID of that window into the global variable.
    3. So at anypoint when u check the global variable, you know the resource ID of the window which is active (or) not.
    4. But the painful part is that this trigger needs to be written to almost all the windows the users access, so that the value for the global field sets properly.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.
