>>What Exactly are you trying to do?? cause if u want to do something when the textbox gets focused you can use the When Method...

You can create a form property IsTextboxHasFocus, set it to true in textbox.GotFocus and to false in textbox.LostFocus and analyze this property in the timer.

Alternatively you can use:

if type('thisform.activecontrol.name')='C' and thisform.activecontrol.name = "MyTextbox"
   ... your timer's code
endif

I believe, the first approach is better from perfomance point of view, but the difference could be neglectable...
