SetNuiFocus

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Gives or removes keyboard/mouse focus for a NUI (HTML UI). Essential for any interactive menu built in NUI — without it the cursor won't work.

Returns

void

Parameters

hasFocusbooleanWhether the NUI has keyboard focus.
hasCursorbooleanWhether to show the mouse cursor.

Example

SetNuiFocus(true, true)  -- open menu: focus + cursor
-- on close:
SetNuiFocus(false, false)

Common pitfalls

  • Forgetting SetNuiFocus(false,false) on close traps the player's cursor — a very common NUI bug.
  • Only give focus while the UI is actually open.
