Description

The Focus public method controls which window is active for use of the keyboard. In the examples below the active EditorWindow keyboard is changed to a different EditorWindow keyboard. Additional resources: focusedWindow.



Focus one window by pressing the button on other window.

// A window that changes state to the second window when
// the button is pressed.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

public class FocusExample1 : EditorWindow
{
    public static FocusExample1 Instance = null;

    [MenuItem("Examples/Focus Example 1")]
    static void Init()
    {
        Instance = GetWindow<FocusExample1>("Focus1");
    }

    void CreateGUI()
    {
        var button = new Button(() => {
            if (FocusExample2.Instance)
                FocusExample2.Instance.Focus();
        });
        button.text = "Focus Window2";
        rootVisualElement.Add(button);    
    }
}

// Second window.

using UnityEngine;
