Custom Inspector: Object field instead of Texture2D field

If anyone has the same problem but with EditorGUI.ObjectField, I found that if you set the height of its rect to 16 or less it will render as the standard object reference field.

I found with a sprite at least if you use the overload function that does not have a label it will present as an inline object field, if i use the overload with a title (even if i set it to "") i get the image display.

 sprite = (Sprite)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField("Sprite", sprite, typeof(Sprite), allowSceneObjects: true);

Will present itself as an image view with the select button within the bottom right corner

 sprite = (Sprite)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(sprite, typeof(Sprite), allowSceneObjects: true);

This will present itself as a standard inline object field. Might not be what some are looking for as a label is usually desired but you could add a label in a EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); call or something , just something I stumbled onto, It would be more helpful if there was a parameter in the EditorGUILayout.ObjectField to display as Text or Object, but anyway there it is.

It's old post but...

Instead of writing:

 sprite = (Sprite)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField("Sprite", sprite, typeof(Sprite), allowSceneObjects: true);

We just need to make it like it:

         EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
         EditorGUILayout.PrefixLabel("Source Image");
         sprite = (Sprite)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(sprite, typeof(Sprite), allowSceneObjects: true);
         EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

And we have Field for Sprites like in Image Component.

I think code is simple enough to understand.

I hope it helped. ;)

sorry for oppening an old thread. for anyone else looking at getting a sprite to render with a label on a single line without it being so bulky you can use a Horizontal group

 EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
 GUILayout.Label("Override Icon");
 overrideIcon.objectReferenceValue = 
          (Sprite)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(overrideIcon.objectReferenceValue, 
          typeof(Sprite), allowSceneObjects: false);
 EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

Old post, but I ran into this recently. The type parameter is a signal to ObjectField() for which type of GUI layout control to present, as well as a hint for what to use as a filter for the ObjectPicker. The fields meaning seems a bit overloaded. If you use typeof(Sprite) or typeof(Texture2D), for example, it will present the corresponding 'advanced' control types. If you want the usual one-line compact ObjectField control, pass typeof(Object). This does have the side-effect of generating an ObjectPicker filter for Objects, and not one more specific for Sprite/Textures. And, unfortunately, passing a filter string to ObjectField doesn't seem possible, so if you need that functionality, yes you build out a custom line per previous comments and other web posts.
