Description

Specifies the control that has focus on the form.

Use ActiveControl to get or set the control that has focus on the form. Only one control can have focus at a given time in an application.

If the form does not have focus, ActiveControl is the control on the form that will receive focus when the form receives focus.

Note: When focus shifts to another control, ActiveControl is updated before the OnExit event occurs.
