The gotFocus on container controls may not be activated because a contained control got focus instead. Put another way: setting focus on a control does not activate the gotFocus methods of the containing container controls.

Thus it may be useless as tool for determining, what has focus.

Often a better way is to check the selectedControl of the FormRun class using the contains method:

boolean inGr = element.selectedControl() && group.contains(element.selectedControl());

This cannot be used in buttons of cause because the button gets focus when clicked!
It may be of use in the task method and other control methods.
