Text Bindings

Selected vs Active

This documentation shows examples of text and image bindings where ActiveFilter and ActiveGame are being used.

• ActiveFilter / ActiveGame
  Wait for navigation to complete before updating values.

• SelectedFilter / SelectedGame
  Update immediately upon making a new selection (even during fast navigation).

⚠ Using SelectedFilter / SelectedGame can cause serious performance issues during fast navigation — use sparingly.
