Docking Editor Window from Script

I use EditorWindow.GetWindow<T>() to create my own Editor Windows. I would like my Editor Window to dock next to inspector automatically, so I use the overloaded function that allows supplying a list of desired EditorWindow types to dock to, but what is the class of the Inspector called? The closest thing I could find is the PropertyDrawer. Is there a complete class overview with visible inheritance anywhere?

 

You can use Relfection to get inspector type like this :

Code (CSharp):

1. Type inspectorType = Type.GetType("UnityEditor.InspectorWindow,UnityEditor.dll");
2. EditorWindow window = EditorWindow.GetWindow<T>(new Type[] {inspectorType});

 

That works. Thanks!

 

I know this is older but ran across it when looking for a similar answer.
As to the above why wouldn't you simply call

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. var inspectorType = typeof(UnityEditor.InspectorWindow);
3.  

 

@lodendsg
That is because InspectorWindow is an internal class, so it is not visible to scripts outside the UnityEditor assembly. Type.GetType can however be used to bypass this restriction and manually retrieve the type from the assembly.

 

Ah gotcha ... never tried withi InspectorWindow, always aim as Scene or Game

 

This was super helpful and exactly what I needed.

Anyone know the internal class for the console? I want to dock something next to the console and I can't figure out what the class name is. Would be nice if Unity made a document to list this so we can easily dock stuff next to things.

 

@8bitgoose You can search the UnityCsReference repository to find out the names of internal classes: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Editor/Mono/ConsoleWindow.cs

 

Oh heck yeah, thank you @SisusCo

 

I figured it out!

var window = EditorWindow.GetWindow<T>("Name Of Custom Window", true, System.Type.GetType("UnityEditor.ConsoleWindow,UnityEditor.dll"));

I had UnityEngine instead of UnityEditor in there too which threw it off till I fixed it. Now the window docks perfectly!
