Checking if an input field is focused

I know you can check if an input field is selected by the EventSystem with:

Code (csharp):

1. public static bool IsInputFieldFocused()
2. {
3.     GameObject obj = EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject;
4.     return (obj != null && obj.GetComponent<InputField>() != null);
5. }

This method isn't perfect though since the EventSystem will still consider the input field to be selected even after hitting enter/submitting it. This issue can become annoying for something like a chat box where you ignore game inputs while the text field is focused. When players submit their message by pressing enter, they still have to left/right/middle click somewhere else to force the EventSystem to set the "currentSelectedGameObject" to null.

 

just added a isFocused property to expose the internal state on if the input field will use events. Likely wont be in the next beta though due to it already being branched.

 

Thanks for adding that.
