Check if focus is on or off DWG

Anonymous · ‎02-20-2019

Hi, my name is Victor, I've been working developing on AutoCAD for a few months now.

Right now I'm working on a plugin and I'm facing the challenge to know if DWG has the focus or at least if mouse pointer is over it. I know how to set to focus to the DWG but don't know how to check it. It has come to my mind to use the GetPoints() method so it will return if the focus is not on the DWG but it doesn't seem very elegant and would not be enough because if the focus is on the DWG it will not return the control until the user selects a point which we don't even need.

Could you provide any hint on what is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Victor

Hi,

see if calling "Focus" as shown https://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2013/03/use-of-windowfocus-in-autocad-2014.html. This will set the focus to DWG.

Hi Virupaksha.aithal,

Thanks for your reply. As I understand that method is used to set the focus to the DWG but I need to check if the focus is on the DWG. Is there any known way to achieve this?

Thanks again!

Regards,

Victor
