Question by Patrik · Aug 09, 2010 at 10:12 AM · buttonclickwindowopenon

Open window on button click

Hi, i simply want to open a new window when the user clicks on a button. I have this code (not working)

... Rect x = new Rect(250, 0, 150, 250); string ctype = "aaa"; if (GUILayout.Button(ctype)) { x = GUI.Window(0, x, ConstraintPicker, "Pick a Constraint"); } ...

public void ConstraintPicker(int id) { GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(0, 15, 150, 250)); scroller = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(scroller); foreach( string item in constraints ) { if (GUILayout.Button(item.ToString(), GUI.skin.GetStyle("Button"))) { ctype = item; } } GUILayout.EndScrollView(); GUILayout.EndArea(); }

window gets displayed if i remove the if construct and leave the body

class variable

bool showWindow = false;

In OnGUI

if (GUILayout.Button(ctype)) { showWindow = true; }

if (showWindow) { x = GUI.Window(0, x, ConstraintPicker, "Pick a Constraint"); }

And whenever you want to stop showing the window again obviously just change showWindow back to false.

The Button function only returns true the frame it's clicked. So the window function only gets called that one frame when the button is clicked.

The window function has to be called every frame in order to be drawn each frame.
