// Send an event to another editor window. The second // window needs to be visible to receive the event. using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine.UIElements; public class SendEventExample : EditorWindow { [MenuItem("Examples/Send Event")] static void Init() { SendEventExample window = EditorWindow.GetWindow<SendEventExample>(true, "Send Event Window"); window.Show(); } void CreateGUI() { var buttonSendEvent = new Button(); buttonSendEvent.text = "Send Event"; buttonSendEvent.clicked += () => { EditorWindow win = GetWindow<ReceiveEventExample>(); if (win) using (var commandEvent = ExecuteCommandEvent.GetPooled(EditorGUIUtility.CommandEvent("Paste"))) { win.rootVisualElement.SendEvent(commandEvent); } }; rootVisualElement.Add(buttonSendEvent); } }
