Description:

Sets the input focus on given control.

⚠

ctrlSetFocus seems to only work on controls that accept any input from keyboard or mouse.
if ctrlSetFocus is used on a CT_CONTROLS_GROUP that contains an interactable control, that control will automatically be active.
if ctrlSetFocus is used on a CT_CONTROLS_GROUP in which there are no interactable controls, then ctrlSetFocus will do nothing.

Groups:

GUI Control
