Hello,
No I don't. There is no such thing as "current watch list" because there
can be upto 64 current watch lists (symbol can belong to upto 64 lists at the same time).
I explained already : there are several lists that you may have open
(tree, ticker list, AA result list) and FOCUS is the only Windows mechanism
that allows the program to know what list you want to traverse.
Without focus program does not know what list you want to traverse.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
