Customer is using the Enter key to traverse through a Windows Form with a number of controls on it.
When the Enter key is pressed, the application needs to find out which control on the form the user was in.

They have tried using the TabIndex property like:

if self::TabIndex = 0
    invoke self::processEmployeeNumber()
    exit method
end-if

But it always seems to return the same value.
How can this be done?

The following code should work for you. A new method called GetFocusedControl has been created which is called in the Keydown method.

This will return null if no control has focus or will contain the control that has focus.

This control can then be tested with an evaluate statement.

method-id Form1_KeyDown final private.
01 mycontrol type Control.
procedure division using by value sender as object e as type System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs.
     set mycontrol to self::GetFocusedControl(self::Controls)
     evaluate mycontrol
          when self::textBox1
               invoke type MessageBox::Show("textBox1 active")
          when self::textBox2
               invoke type MessageBox::Show("textBox2 active")
          when self::dataGridView1
               invoke type MessageBox::Show("datagrid active")
          when null
               invoke type MessageBox::Show("no control is focused")
     end-evaluate
     set e::Handled to true
end method.

method-id GetFocusedControl public.
01 container type ContainerControl.
procedure division using controlsin as type Control ControlCollection
                             returning mycontrol as type System.Windows.Forms.Control.
     perform varying clsControl as type System.Windows.Forms.Control thru self::Controls
          if clsControl::Focused
               set mycontrol to clsControl
               goback
          else
               if clsControl::ContainsFocus
                    if clsControl::Controls::Count = 0
                         set mycontrol to clsControl
                         goback
                    else
                         set mycontrol to self::GetFocusedControl(clsControl::Controls)
                         goback
                    end-if
               end-if
           end-if
     end-perform
     set mycontrol to null
     goback.
end method.
