It's supposed to work within a form, but will not work outside a form. So, generic way to handle this is to have Form.LastActiveControl property, and all form controls (subclass) may have Thisform.LastactiveControl=This in their GotFocus event. Also, you should add This.LastactiveControl=.NULL. to Form.Destroy event.
