Hello,

I have an application with two listboxes (lb1 and lb2. This can be used to select one item. I can identify which item is selected, but the moment I do not know how to detect which listbox is in use. On screen this is very clear. How do I detect the listbox used? I thought focusCurrent or focusLast would do the trick, but no such luck. I have a few lines of obvious code (most is cut out) 
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $lb1 = $mw->Scrolled(Listbox);
my $lb2 = $mw->Scrolled(Listbox);
my $b = $mw->Button(-text=>"doit", -command=>sub{&do_it});
MainLoop;

sub do_it {
my $i1 = $lb1->index('active');
my $i2 = $lb2->index('active');
# $i1 and $i2 are always inside 0..end
...
}

Thanks for any help, F.
