Question

Answer 1

Generally, you need FocusManager.GetFocusedElement if you are using WPF or Form.ActiveControl for WinForms.

For panel it will be:

if (panel.ContainsFocus)
{
    Control currentlyFocused =
        panel.Controls.Cast<Control>().FirstOrDefault(control => control.Focused);
}

Answer 2

Using ActiveControl. See this
