TextField Focus with Cursor Selection

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

When a new window opens I’d like for the textfield to have focus with the cursor selected so the user can type immediately without first having to click within the textfield:

I can call TextField.Focus but this only highlights the textfield in blue, it doesn’t bring the cursor selection with it so the user still has to click within the textfield. Is there a way to do this with the current API?

Thank you!

This is a known issue. To work around this, you’ll have to focus the sub-element:

textField.Q("unity-text-input").Focus();

Thank you - that worked perfectly.
