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;
}
}
