Official Important Message Related to the TextField Refactor for 2022.1+.

I roughly understood how focus works, it helped me create a "workaround" for returning focus to the input field after pressing "return".

Adding commands:
evt.StopPropagation();
evt.PreventDefault();
to processing unit evt.keyCode == KeyCode.Enter (as in the example in the links)
did not help to avoid defocusing the input field

The "workaround" I'm currently using is:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (ev.keyCode == KeyCode.Return)
2. {
3.     <any code>
4.  
5.    StartCoroutine(ReFocus());
6. }
7.  
8. IEnumerator ReFocus()
9.     {
10.         TextField.Blur();
11.         yield return null;
12.         TextField.Focus();
13.       }

 

I'm using https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/UIElements.VisualElement-schedule.html for similar workarounds, instead of coroutines. @johfirefly

 

Hi,

I noticed that when you press TAB in a multiline textfield, the textfield doesn't lose focus but a tab is added to the text. I think the default behaviour should be to go to the next focusable element like happens when multiline=false. Could that be changed? Or is there a reason that it was implemented that way?

Thanks

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try! Is there a reason that this is not the default behaviour?

[Edit] I tried Shift+TAB which should work if I understand the code correctly, but this doesn't give the focus to the next element.

 

Is "textElement.selection.isSelectable = true;" designed to work for Labels inside a VisualTreeAsset template used in a ListView? I've tried setting this, but labels are not selectable:

history.makeItem = () => itemTemplate.CloneTree().contentContainer;

history.bindItem = (e, i) =>
{
var message = e.Q<Label>("item-detail-message");
message.text = chatItems.Message;
message.selection.isSelectable = true;
};

Are there additional steps required?

 

Ok, Thanks. I'll try some testing with it as maybe there was something else interfering in its layout.

 

Hello! Any updates on this? Maybe I missed something...

Thanks a lot

 

Thank you very much for response

 

I've tested 2022.2 but InputField still has no possibility to copy/paste/selectAll and other native options when running on iOS device. Is it planned to implement or I should replace my whole UI with UItoolkit?

Thank you in advance
