Unity Script Reference – GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl

GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl

static function GetNameOfFocusedControl () : String

Description

Get the name of named control that has focus.

Control names are set up by using SetNextControlName. When a named control has focus, this function will return its name. If no control has focus or the focused control has no name set returns empty string.

GetNameOfFocusedControl works well when you make a login box.

JavaScript

var login : String = "username";
var login2 : String = "no action here";

function OnGUI () {
    GUI.SetNextControlName ("user");
    login = GUI.TextField (Rect (10,10,130,20), login);
    
    login2 = GUI.TextField (Rect (10,40,130,20), login2);
    if (Event.current.Equals (Event.KeyboardEvent ("return")) &&
        GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl () == "user") {
        Debug.Log ("Login");
    }

    if (GUI.Button (new Rect (150,10,50,20), "Login"))
        Debug.Log ("Login");
}
