New private thread created per instruction from @unikronsoftware .  Not knowing pub-priv linking etiquette but wanting to help people find, it's titled "UI FocusManager ideas (i.e. controlling new UI by joystick/keys) + e.g. code".  HTH!

Well, I tried and it's sort of working.

I could post my quickie code if anyone's interested but it's pretty straightforward stuff -- I added a script to the demo using HoverOver(), HoverOut() and SimulateClick().
SimulateClick() successfully fired buttons.
However for HoverOver() and HoverOut(), only the pull-down gave any indication of hover that I could tell.  Expected?

Cheers!

Just saw the priv-thread on "toolkit ui tabbing".  Guess not in first release, huh?
Any tips on things that might be usable with own transition code then? (e.g. setFocused()) ... <goes looking> ... Found tk2dUIItem.HoverOver|Out() ...?  Perhaps...?

p.s. Why did I suddenly start thinking about a giant floating hand that casts rays, fakes hovers and clicks and tweens movement to center points of all controls?  Yuck!

Hi, hope this is an OK place to ask this :-)

How can one use these awesome new controls with joysticks?
I'm developing for console (well specifically for the Ouya). Obviously I need control focus indicated, focus change by either a control 'order' (or orders?) or a way to change programmatically (but what about tabbing between when on PC?) and an ability to fire the click action, etc.

 Before these UI bits came out, I'd used 2DTk's Text objects for menu items and rolled my own colour highlighting and transition. I plan to port to pointer-based platforms in time though so had assumed I'd add colliders, etc.
Obviously it'd be preferable for the framework to handle both (and accessibility?)

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
