public static Experimental.Networking.PlayerConnection.IConnectionState GetAttachToPlayerState(EditorWindow parentWindow, Action<string> connectedCallback);

Parameters

parentWindowThe EditorWindow that will use the connection.
connectedCallbackA callback that is fired whenever a user-initiated connection-attempt succeeds.

Returns

IConnectionState The not serialized state of the connection to a Player, to be used in EditorGUI.AttachToPlayerDropdown or EditorGUILayout.AttachToPlayerDropdown. It knows what target is currently connected and what targets are available.

Description

This method generates a state tracking object for establishing and displaying an Editor to Player Connection.

This state and the corresponding GUI Methods (EditorGUI.AttachToPlayerDropdown and EditorGUILayout.AttachToPlayerDropdown) are supposed to be used from within an EditorWindow. The supplied Editor Window is used to: 1. Display an overlay while connecting 2. Repaint the window after a connection has been established 3. Receive callback calls through connectedCallback when other windows using the same connection type establish a connection Technically, it might be possible to supply parentWindow as null and use it outside of EditorWindow, but that is neither recommended nor a use-case we plan to support.

Also keep in mind that the received state is not serialized and needs to be disposed. The recommended use pattern is to get the state in the EditorWindow's OnEnable and to dispose of it in OnDisable.

The connectedCallback will not be fired if, for example, the connection was made by automatically establishing a profiler connection to a Player or falling back on to the connection to the Editor. Instead, it only responds to a user actively choosing a target, and waits until that connection has been established. If the connection type is one that is shared across Editor windows, it will also be fired when the user chooses it in a different EditorWindow.

The returned state knows what target is currently connected and what targets are available.
