static def GetControlRect(*options as GUILayoutOption[]) as Rect
static function GetControlRect(hasLabel: bool, params options: GUILayoutOption[]): Rect;
static Rect GetControlRect(bool hasLabel, params GUILayoutOption[] options);
static def GetControlRect(hasLabel as bool, *options as GUILayoutOption[]) as Rect

Parameters

hasLabelOptional boolean to specify if the control has a label. Default is true.
heightThe height in pixels of the control. Default is EditorGUIUtility.singleLineHeight.
styleOptional GUIStyle to use for the control.
optionsAn optional list of layout options that specify extra layouting properties. Any values passed in here will override settings defined by the style.

Description

Get a rect for an Editor control.

When creating a new Editor control it is a sound design to implement the actual control without relying on GUILayout and instead have the control take a Rect as parameter, similar to the controls in the EditorGUI class. This ensures the control can also be used in for example a PropertyDrawer, which does not allow GUILayout.

Once a non-layout version of the control is implemented, a layout version can easily be made as well, which simply calls into the non-layout version. In order to get a rect fitting for the control, the GetControlRect function can be used.
