This is probably a very silly question with a simple answer... I have an Edit menu with a Select All command. That command should select all text in the field which currently holds the insertion point. I know the code for selecting text in a field is "select text of field", but how do you know which field is the current field or in other words, which field has the focus?

No questions are silly. Only answers.

Look up "the focusedObject" in the dictionary.
