[Editor] is window open(and visible)?

Hello,

Is there a way to know if an EditorWindow (in my case SceneView) is open and visible?

I can not use

GetWindow

as a do not want to open the window
I can not use

HasOpenInstances

as this will return true, if the window is hidden by another tab in the same dock

Thanks

 

Is this a game? Here is how I tell if an enemy is visible on the screen.

Code (CSharp):

1. public static bool IsVisibleToCamera(Camera MainCamera, Transform transform)
2.     {
3.         if (MainCamera.enabled != true) { return false; }
4.         if (transform == null) { return false; }
5.         Vector3 V = MainCamera.WorldToViewportPoint(transform.position);
6.         return (V.x >= 0 && V.y >= 0) && (V.x <= 1 && V.y <= 1) && V.z >= 0;
7.     }

 

No this an editor utility

 

This is the top result when searching this problem. As such I will post my (hacky) solution here:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private bool _isDrawingIMGUI = true;
3.  
4. protected void OnLostFocus()
5. {
6.     _isDrawingIMGUI = false;
7. }
8.  
9. protected void OnGUI()
10. {
11.     _isDrawingIMGUI = true;
12. }
13.  

Note that OnGUI() is not called all the time but it is never called automatically when the window is not visible and always called before OnLostFocus(). At least this is what I've gatthered from a few experiments...

The main issue I'm still having here is that _isDrawingIMGUI is not always trustworthy because the value is set to false until OnGUI() is called. So anything executing in-between (basically after OnFocusLost) is getting potentially false information.

 

Maybe try this?:

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void OnBecameVisible()
2.     {
3.         m_isVisible = true;
4.     }
5.  
6.     private void OnBecameInvisible()
7.     {
8.         m_isVisible = false;
9.     }
10.     public void IsVisible() { return m_isVisible; }
11.
