Question by ratchetunity · Nov 27, 2019 at 04:57 PM · uicanvaslistdropdowntemplate

ALWAYS SHOW DROPDOWN LIST

Hi,

I have a dropdown and I'm trying to always show the dropdown's list of elements. Currently I'm using the Show() method, but when I click on an option the list flicks. Is there any way to always show the list and when an option is clicked the dropdown doesn't flicker? This is the code I'm using at the moment:

 [SerializeField] Dropdown targetDropdown;
 [SerializeField] Transform objectsParent;
 private Transform mainCamera;
 private List<string> namesToDisplayOptions = new List<string>();

 private void Awake()
 {
     mainCamera = Camera.main.transform;
     SetObjectsToDisplay();
     targetDropdown.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate
     {
         ShowName(targetDropdown);
     });
 }
 
 private void Update()
 {
     targetDropdown.Show();
 }

 private void SetObjectsToDisplay()
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < objectsParent.childCount; i++)
     {
         namesToDisplayOptions.Add(objectsParent.GetChild(i).name);
     }
     targetDropdown.AddOptions(namesToDisplayOptions);
 }
 
 private void ShowName(Dropdown target)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < objectsParent.childCount; i++)
     {
         if (targetDropdown.captionText.text == objectsParent.GetChild(i).name.ToString())
         {
             print("OPTION " + objectsParent.GetChild(i).name + " CLICKED");
         }
     }
 }

If you want the dropdown to be always visible, it's not a dropdown anymore, is it? If possible I would suggest creating a list of buttons or toggles, depending on your use-case

true but its more sleek to have a dropdown menu over a bunch of buttons. but maybe another option works similar to dropdown.
