static function TextArea (position : Rect, text : String, style : GUIStyle = EditorStyles.textField) : String

Parameters

Returns

String - The text entered by the user.

Description

Make a text area.

This works just like GUI.TextArea, but correctly responds to select all, copy, paste etc. in the editor.

Text Area in an Editor Window.

    // Create a window where you can have notes
    // This doesnt preserve the notes between sessions. 
    //
    // check EditorPrefs Get/SetString to save the notes.
        
    class EditorGUITextArea extends EditorWindow {
        
        var note : String = "Notes:\n->";
        
        @MenuItem("Examples/Notes")
        static function Init() {
            var window = GetWindow(EditorGUITextArea);
            window.Show();
        }
        
        function OnGUI() {
            note = EditorGUI.TextArea(Rect(3,3,position.width - 6, position.height - 35), note);
            if(GUI.Button(Rect(0, position.height - 30, position.width, 25), "Close"))
                this.Close();
        }    
    }
