Description

Make a text area.

This works just like GUILayout.TextArea, but correctly responds to select all, copy, paste etc. in the editor.

Quick script editor.

// Simple script that lets you visualize your scripts in an editor window
// This can be expanded to save your scripts also in the editor window.

class EditorGUILayoutTextArea extends EditorWindow {    
    var text : String = "Nothing Opened...";
    var txtAsset : TextAsset;
    var scroll : Vector2;

    @MenuItem("Examples/Script Visualizer")
    static function Init() {
        var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutTextArea);
        window.Show();
    }
    function OnGUI() {
        var newTxtAsset : TextAsset = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(txtAsset, TextAsset);        

        if (newTxtAsset != txtAsset) 
            ReadTextAsset(newTxtAsset);
            
        scroll = EditorGUILayout.BeginScrollView(scroll);        
        text = EditorGUILayout.TextArea(text, GUILayout.Height(position.height - 30));        
        EditorGUILayout.EndScrollView();
    }
    
    function ReadTextAsset(txt : TextAsset) {
        text = txt.text;
        txtAsset = txt;
    }
}
