Custom Editor: Inspector Alignment

I'm writing a custom editor and I'd like to align some properties up alongside EditorGUILayout.TextField(string label, string value), which draws a label on the left and some value on the right.


To emulate that behavior I'm trying something like this (simplified):

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
2.  
3. EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical(GUILayout.Width(Screen.width * 0.35f));
4. EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup(enum_value);
5. EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
6.  
7. EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical(GUILayout.Width(Screen.width * 0.65f));
8. EditorGUILayout.TextField(str_value);
9. EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
10.  
11. EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

The problem is that EditorGUILayout.TextField(string label, string text) etc. uses some unknown alignment algorithm that doesn't seem to be a simple scalar (as above).

So: is there a good way to emulate that behavior, or if not... who knows what that alignment function is?

 

Hey there,

This made me so mad at one point. I tried like 50 different math equations to get it to line up, they all failed. Turns out if you use

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth

for the width of your first element the other one will stretch and be correct.

 

Hmm... I just tried this, and it's pretty close!

It looks to be giving me a width that stretches with the labelWidth with a mostly constant pixel offset. I tried

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth - 26

Which on my machine looks good until the inspector window becomes small and the right column sticks out again.

But this is great info and much better than before. Thanks!

 

Try this:

Code (csharp):

1. EditorGUILayout.PrefixLabel("label text");

 

Label width and prefix label thingie give ALMOST right result. Second element in the horizontal layout is offset just a little bit, which triggers my OCD X_x
