ReleaseFocus doesn't work ?

If I captureFocus a textbox, I cannot use releasefocus on it. ReleaseFocus(true) still works, but they still type in the textbox.

I've tried: Spamming release focus; Setting textbo to not be visible; (Works, but when changed back to visible, still focused) Neither of these methods work. (I tried a third one, but I forgot)

tb = script.Parent
tb:CaptureFocus()
tb.Text = "Sudo"
tb:ReleaseFocus(true)
-- for i = 1,10 do wait() tb:ReleaseFocus(true) end

Note: ReleaseFocus works if I don't use CaptureFocus. Thank you. Also, I tried to put on roblox forums, but the post made after mine got 19 replies and 75 views, while mine had 6 (Mostly me) and 0 replies. Anyways, thanks.

Why not just change the Text property without doing the focus? theres no use to focus if you dont need player interaction. RubenKan 3615 — 7y

Okay issue is; I tried that. But it doesn't register with release focus. I am trying to force someone to run tet in a command box. fireboltofdeathalt 118 — 7y

All that should be working. You don't need to set the value for ReleaseFocus

local tb = script.Parent;
tb:CaptureFocus();
tb.Text = "Sudo";
tb:ReleaseFocus();

This should work. If it does I'm glad I could help and would really appreciate it if you could accept this as the answer. If you find this confusing feel free to ask any questions you have.

You just gave me back my script, which doesn't work. I tested it, it doesn't work. CaptureFocus doesn't trigegr Focused, so ReleaseFocus doesn't work. I need a fix for this. fireboltofdeathalt 118 — 7y
