How to change the text of EditorGUILayout.TextField
I'm trying to build an editor tool that's gonna look for a gameobject with a name. I set up the window using GetWindow and did:
void OnGUI() {
EditorGUILayout.TextField("GameObject Name", name);
}
But I can't edit the key word, every time I press enter it will fall back to its default value. How can I set the value?

Apparently doing this solves the problem
GameObjectName= EditorGUILayout.TextField("GameObjectName", name);
I think the answer by @marche4ever is almost there.
When I do the following it works.
string name;
void OnGUI()
{
name = EditorGUILayout.TextField("GameObjectName", name);
}
I believe this is because OnGUI is called constantly like Update. So you need to be changing the variable 'name' and storing it back into the original variable 'name'.
