Re: event/notification for focus?

Ok! :) Basically, I need to know when a control (text field, button,
etc.) has gained focus so that I can perform some stuff when that
happens. So if the user clicks on one of the control or is tabbing
through them, I need to know which control has the focus.

Is there a way to achieve this?
