Can't figure out how to make a small scrolling box inside an editor window
I'm trying to make my own 'console' of sorts in a custom Editor Window. I want it to work more or less the same as the regular console: messages are rendered inside rects which are stacked vertically inside a larger, scrollable rect, which is embedded in my editor window.
So far this is what I have:
which is created through the following code:
private void ConsoleDrawer()
{
float margin = 20f;
Rect rect = new Rect(margin, 100f + margin, Screen.width - (margin * 2), Screen.height - 200f);
GUILayout.BeginArea(rect, GUI.skin.box);
m_debugConsoleScroll = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(m_debugConsoleScroll, false, true);
GUILayout.BeginVertical();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(-2f, 30f * i - 1f, Screen.width, 30f), GUI.skin.box);
GUILayout.EndArea();
}
GUILayout.EndVertical();
GUILayout.EndScrollView();
GUILayout.EndArea();
}
This seems quite similar to all the examples I can find elsewhere, but no matter how I order things or what parameters I change, the scroll area never seems to work how I want it to, i.e. grow to accommodate all 1000 smaller rects.
Why are you calling GUILayout.BeginArea inside of an area you have already created (i.e. the one inside of the ScrollView scope)? If you need a rect in there, you should instead use GUILayoutUtility.GetRect(), or just directly draw the controls you need (e.g., GUILayout.Label, GUILayout.Button).
