Greetings,
I have an old app with forms created using Define Window.
Textboxes are created by @ Get.
I know many of you will tell me to upgrade which I'm doing but I still need
to support the existing app.

Well, here is my question:
What is be best way to mimic Setfocus() for a @ Get control?
Is this even possible without using the valid clause?
My goal is to centralize validation in one place before saving to the dbf.

What you need is _CUROBJ = <expn>

From the help file:

_CUROBJ Example


The following program example demonstrates how GET objects are numbered and how _CUROBJ can be used to return the object number of the current object. Press Tab or the arrow keys to select different objects.
Pressing F2 displays the object number for the current object.

CLEAR
SET TALK OFF
STORE 1 to x, y, z
ON KEY LABEL F2 @ 12,2 SAY 'Object # ' + STR(_CUROBJ) && Show #
@ 4,2 GET x  PICTURE '@*R \<Apples;\<Oranges;\<Limes'     && Radio
@ 2,2 GET y                                              && Get field
@ 8,2 GET z  PICTURE '@^ \<Pears;\<Bananas;\<Pineapples' && Popup
READ CYCLE
ON KEY LABEL F2                && Reset F2 key to default
SET TALK ON
