HasAnyActiveFocus

Overview

Returns true if any PrismaView currently has active input focus. This is a global check useful for determining if any UI element is currently receiving input across all views.

Syntax

bool HasAnyActiveFocus();

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Type: bool
Returns: true if any view has active focus; otherwise, false

Usage Examples

Basic Global Check
Game Pause Logic

// Check if any UI has focus
if (PrismaUI->HasAnyActiveFocus()) {
    SKSE::log::info("Some UI element has active focus");
} else {
    SKSE::log::info("No UI elements have focus");
}

// Use for global game pause management
void UpdateGameState() {
    if (PrismaUI->HasAnyActiveFocus()) {
        // Any UI is active - pause game logic if needed
        PauseNonUIGameplay();
    } else {
        // No UI active - resume normal gameplay
        ResumeGameplay();
    }
}

Best Practices

Global State Check: Use before performing operations that should only occur when no UI is focused
Performance: Lightweight operation suitable for frequent checks
Multi-Plugin: Essential for cross-plugin input coordination
