#hasFocusDeeply will find it if it is a true child of the control site,
regardless of whether it is a Dolphin window (Thinks: "Perhaps AXControlSite
should really override #hasFocus as #hasFocusDeeply since the actual control
will always be a child"). However if the OCX opens another top-level window
such that the AXControlSite is not on its parent chain, then I can't see a
way that you will be able to detect it unless the OCX provides a way to
access its subsidiary window's handle. If you can get at the handle, then
obviously you can subclass AXControlSite and test the handle for focus
explicitly in an override of #hasFocus.
