I am using DEF SETBUTTONTEXTSTRING( btnID, "Hello" ) to set the text  
in a text field
and
pString$ = FN BUTTONTEXTSTRING$(btnID) to get the text from a text field

That works fine.

I also use Def SetButtonFocus(btnID)  to set the focus to the text  
field and that also works.

My question is, how do I get the focus (how do I know which text  
field the user has clicked on?)
Def GetButtonFocus(btnID) would be nice but is not a valid command.

In the old days before Appearance buttons, I used WINDOW(_efNum)) to  
get the currently selected text field.
But that does not work for Appearance button text fields.
