Focused

Unsafe

For thread safety, this property is not safe to read in an unsynchronized thread.

Event of:

Description:

The Focused event fires when the /TextBox gains focus - typically when a client clicks/taps on a TextBox to begin text entry. This also fires if a TextBox forces focus on the user.

It can be used alongside TextBox.FocusLost to track when a TextBox gains and loses focus.

See also the /UserInputService/TextBoxFocused and /UserInputService/TextBoxFocusReleased for similar functions that rely on the UserInputService service.

This event will only fire when used in a /LocalScript.
