Editor Color Display Field

Hi all,

In need of a way to display a color without the color picker field, as it is simply for display purposes only and the developer won't be editing the color,

Is there a way to alter the EditorGUILayout.ColorField so that is read only, or does anybody know of another way around this.

Thanks

 

I would create a CustomPropertyDrawer and PropertyAttribute for your field, then, in the drawer, draw a white box tinted with the properties colorValue:

e.g:

Code (CSharp):

1. class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.     [ReadonlyColor]
4.     public Color myColor;
5. }
6.  
7. class ReadonlyColorAttribute : PropertyAttribute {
8. }
9.  
10. [CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ReadonlyColorAttribute))]
11. class ReadonlyColorDrawer : PropertyDrawer {
12.  
13.     public override OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label) {
14.    
15.         if (property.propertyType == SerializedPropertyType.Color) {
16.            
17.             Color guiColor = GUI.color;
18.            
19.             GUI.color = property.colorValue;          
20.             GUI.DrawTexture(position, EditorGUIUtility.whiteTexture);
21.             GUI.color = guiColor;
22.         }
23.         else {
24.        
25.             EditorGUI.PropertyField(position, property, label);
26.         }
27.     }
28. }

That code is untested, might be errors.
