how to detect why I got the focus

[Harry]

Chris,

wxActivateEvent contains only the information that my application or 
window got/lost the focus, not why/where.
I've searched the source of wxWidgets, without finding any code that 
deals with the why/where.
I still hope that I've missed out on some simple solution.
