Ranorex Forum

I found this simple code in this forum to access the currently activated window:

//Search for the active foreground window and checks if "active" state is true
Ranorex.Form myActiveForm = Host.Local.FindSingle("/form[@active='True']");

Is it possible to access the currently focused control in this Form?
It could be a button, an edit-control, a combobox or whatever...

Hi,

Try something like this...

Ranorex.Form myActiveForm = Host.Local.FindSingle("/form[@active='True']/*[@accessiblestate~'Focused']");

This should return first focused element on active form.

Hello odklizec,

Thanks for your fast and proper answer: exactly what I want!

Ranorex.Core.Element activeElement = Host.Local.FindSingle("/form[@active='True']/*[@accessiblestate~'Focused']");
