EditorGUILayout.TextField

Parameters

Returns

string The text entered by the user.

Description

Make a text field.

This works just like GUILayout.TextField, but correctly responds to select all, copy, paste etc. in the editor, and it can have an optional label in front.


Changes the name of the selected GameObject.

// Automatically change the name of the selected object via a text field
class EditorGUILayoutTextField extends EditorWindow {    

    var objectName : String = "";

    @MenuItem("Examples/GUILayout TextField")

    static function Init() {
        var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutTextField);
        window.Show();
    }

    function OnGUI() {
        GUILayout.Label("Select an object in the hierarchy view");

        if(Selection.activeGameObject)
            Selection.activeGameObject.name = 
                EditorGUILayout.TextField("Object Name: ", Selection.activeGameObject.name);

        this.Repaint();
    }
}

// Automatically change the name of the selected object via a text field
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

public class EditorGUILayoutTextField : EditorWindow {

    [MenuItem("Examples/GUILayout TextField")]
    static void Init() {
        EditorWindow window = GetWindow(typeof(EditorGUILayoutTextField));
        window.Show();
    }
    
    void OnGUI() {
        GUILayout.Label("Select an object in the hierarchy view");
        if(Selection.activeGameObject)
            Selection.activeGameObject.name = 
                EditorGUILayout.TextField("Object Name: ", Selection.activeGameObject.name);
        this.Repaint();
    }
