Can't select TextField text

I've made a custom inspector window with a TextField, but I can't select the text. Clicking the TextField hides the existing text shows an empty box.

How do I disable this behaviour?

 

It seems the issue was an incorrect comment:

Code (CSharp):

1. /// <summary>
2. ///   <para>Creates a new textfield.</para>
3. /// </summary>
4. /// <param name="maxLength">The maximum number of characters this textfield can hold. If 0, there is no limit.</param>
5. /// <param name="multiline">Set this to true to allow multiple lines in the textfield and false if otherwise.</param>
6. /// <param name="isPasswordField">Set this to true to mask the characters and false if otherwise.</param>
7. /// <param name="maskChar">The character used for masking in a password field.</param>
8. public TextField (int maxLength, bool multiline, bool isPasswordField, char maskChar)

Setting 'maxLength' to 0 results in the behaviour I described.
Setting it to int.MaxValue instead seems to fix the problem.

 

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I eventually got everything figured out.

I needed an editor window for working on 200+ scene objects. It was unusably slow with IMGUI, but perfectly smooth with UIElements, so I'm pretty happy with UIElements at the moment.

Thanks!

 

I just spent ages trying to fix this problem, and found that yes having 0 would cause my textfield to be empty when focussed. The documentation is wrong and needs to be fixed!
