Hello,

I want that when I start to enter text or any input into Text\_Input component, something is occured depending on it.  
Something like “when Text\_Input GotFocus” “do…”.  
Maybe it is also useful for me to develop “when Keyboard Active” “do…”

Yes, I agree that this would be useful. With this function it would be possible to hide an enter button until the user has actually “visited” the text input box.
