I am thinking of going to the IDCMP_INTUITICKS path again. However ideally I would like to first check if my search field is already active and only call the ActivateGadget on this field if this is not activated.

But ... ... I cannot find any function to do that from here, or a way to achieve this with GT_GetGadgetAttrs as documented here.

hm:

gad->Flags & GFLG_SELECTED
does not work for you?


You could also call SetGadgetAttrsA with GFLG_SELECTED set...
