Question

I have 25 textboxes. I have one button that will paste information in a Selected textbox(The one that is focused). Here is the code i had used:

    foreach (Control z in this.Controls)
        {
            if (z is TextBox)
            {  
                ((TextBox)(z)).Paste();          
            }
        }

When i use this, all of the textboxes get pasted in. I only need the focused one. I am completely stumped. How do i fix this problem?

Answer 1

How about this?

 foreach (Control z in this.Controls)
        {
            if (z is TextBox && z.Focused)
            {  
                ((TextBox)(z)).Paste();          
            }
        }

According to MSDN Control.Focused is true if the control has focus, otherwise false
