Is there any boolean function that returns whether a TextBox has the input cursor in it or not?

it should look like this:

C#

if(textBox1.HasCursor)

    //do something
}

Is it WinForms? WPF? Silverlight? HTML? I gave a WinForms answer and Dasblinkenlight gave you a WPF/Silverlight one and you have just claimed they don't work. Your question is unclear.

Solution 1

Use Keyboard.FocusedElement[^] to see which element has the focus (and of course the cursor that goes with it).

It's not working :(
I included System.Windows.Input to the project but I still don't have a Keyboard class

Solution 2

Control.Focused[^]. (If a text box has the focus, then by definition it also has the input cursor.)
