Derive from this class to create an editor window.
Create your own custom editor window that can float free or be docked as a tab, just like the native windows in the Unity interface.
Editor windows are typically opened using a menu item.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;
public class MyWindow : EditorWindow { string myString = "Hello World"; bool groupEnabled; bool myBool = true; float myFloat = 1.23f;
// Add menu named "My Window" to the Window menu [MenuItem("Window/My Window")] static void Init() { // Get existing open window or if none, make a new one: MyWindow window = (MyWindow)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(MyWindow)); window.Show(); }
void OnGUI() { GUILayout.Label("Base Settings", EditorStyles.boldLabel); myString = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Text Field", myString);
groupEnabled = EditorGUILayout.BeginToggleGroup("Optional Settings", groupEnabled); myBool = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Toggle", myBool); myFloat = EditorGUILayout.Slider("Slider", myFloat, -3, 3); EditorGUILayout.EndToggleGroup(); } }
