Some times you need to make sure a component has been set on a game object and if it does not exist add it.

I needed to add tab key support to a GUI.TextArea and soon discovered it was not quite as easy as I had originally thought. I have provided two code examples below. The first example is simplified and the second example is more complex that wraps TextArea controls inside of parent control.

With these examples you can type text in a TextArea/TextField and press the tab key to insert 4 spaces, or press Shift+Tab to move the line 4 spaces to the left if the area is clear.

I have also provided a third advanced example from my UIControls library to give an example of a real word usage scenario. This third example synchronizes my TextBox control with the unity’s TextEditor. My TextBox control has similar properties as Winforms TextBox.

Simplified example

    public GuiEnabled(bool stateToBeRestored)                                            
    {
        this.StateToBeRestored = stateToBeRestored;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="GuiEnabled"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="stateToBeRestored">If set to <c>true</c> the GUI.enabled state will be restored to this value.</param>
    /// <param name="setState">Immediatley sets the value of GUI.enabled to this state.</param>
    public GuiEnabled(bool stateToBeRestored, bool setState) : this(stateToBeRestored)
    {
        GUI.enabled = setState;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
    /// </summary>
    public void Dispose()
    {
        GUI.enabled = this.StateToBeRestored;
    }
}

Here is an simple use case

GUILayout.Button("Enabled button");
using (var enabled = new GuiEnabled(GUI.enabled, false))
{
    GUILayout.Button("Disabled button");
    //if (someCondition)
    //{   
        // setting to false means after we exit the using block GUI.enabled will be set to false. 
    //    enabled.StateToBeRestored = false; 
    //}
}
GUILayout.Button("Enabled button");

If you need your editor scripts to have the same functionality as “Assets->Show In Explorer” check out the cross platform method EditorUtility.RevealInFinder. This method is currently undocumented in Unity 5.2.1.

When writing editor scripts involving EditorWindow’s it is often important to initialize and cleanup your code when the window is shown and hidden. Specifically it is important to differentiate between the OnDisable and OnDestroy methods if you need to perform some kind of cleanup before the window is closed or disposed of. OnDestroy is called when the user closes the window, where as OnDisable is called after unity recompiles scripts. Think of the OnDestroy method as a close event for the window but the window still resides in memory, where the OnDisable method signals that the window is about to be unloaded from memory such as during a script recompile.

This differentiation is important when you need to save data to disk before the window is destroyed during a recompile. OnDestroy will not get called during recompile only OnDisable does. The OnEnable method is typically intended as a initialization method where you can load data related to the window.

I only wish the Unity team had made these methods more descriptive ala .NET window forms naming scheme. OnDestroy & OnDisable are not the most descriptive for what they do as well as being somewhat similar in spelling. But I digress.
