### Returns

| Type                                                           | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string) |             |

### Remarks

Control names are set up by using [GUI.SetNextControlName](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/gui/setnextcontrolname.md). When a named control has focus, this function will return its name. If no control has focus or the focused control has no name set, an empty string will be returned instead.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string login = "username";
    public string login2 = "no action here";

    void OnGUI()
    {
        GUI.SetNextControlName("user");
        login = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 10, 130, 20), login);

        login2 = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 40, 130, 20), login2);
        if (Event.current.isKey && Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return && GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() == "user")
            Debug.Log("Login");

        if (GUI.Button(new Rect(150, 10, 50, 20), "Login"))
            Debug.Log("Login");
    }
}
```
