Description

CreateGUI is called when the EditorWindow's rootVisualElement is ready to be populated.


Use CreateGUI to add UIToolkit user interface elements to your window.

// A simple script that saves frames from the Game view when in Play mode.
// This example is the same as the OnGUI() example, but uses retained-mode UIToolkit UI.
//
// You can put the frames together later to create a video.
// The frames are saved in the project, at the same level of the project hierarchy as the Assets folder.

// Create elements and add them to the visual tree. root.Add(new PropertyField(){bindingPath = nameof(fileName)}); recordButton = new Button(ToggleRecording) { text = "Record" }; statusLabel = new Label();

root.Add(recordButton); root.Add(statusLabel);

// Bind the created fields to this window's serializable data root.Bind(new SerializedObject(this)); }
