Event when CommandInput is focused?

thomasa88 — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 12:45:08 GMT

Is there any way to get an event when a (StringValue)CommandInput gets focus?

My code highlights the object the user is currently editing info about, but the way I do it right now is using "Command.inputChanged", which makes the selection not update until the user edits the text.

No, there isn't an event when an input gets focus. It's a good idea but it doesn't currently exist.

I understand.

Interesting observation, for anyone else trying to do the same:

command.inputChanged is triggered whenever someone focuses a CommandInput inside a TableCommandInput using the mouse. inputChanged is not triggered if Tab key is used.

It also has the bonus of saying which input was focused ("changed").
