public static function GetNameOfFocusedControl(): string;
public static string GetNameOfFocusedControl();
public static def GetNameOfFocusedControl() as 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, an empty string will be returned instead.

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

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