Question Editor Scripting - Drawing UI onto AnimationWindow's layout.

I'm wanting to add a button to the AnimationWindow that's built into the Unity editor however I'm having trouble figuring out how I can reliably draw UI ontop of this window and position it correctly.

Could someone point me in the right direction in how I can go about drawing on EditorWindows that are built into Unity? If possible I'd like to be-able to use GUILayouts like you would in the OnGUI method of a custom implemented EditorWindow. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, insights, or advice.

 

There's no way to do this that's not inherently hacky and prone to breaking. The

AnimationWindow

class is sealed and cannot be extended and it doesn't provide an hooks for you to extend its GUI.

I would just create a custom editor window that you can dock next to the animation window and/or add a keyboard shortcut to trigger your functionality.

 

Thanks, sort of figured this was the case.
I went witu MenuItems and keyboard shortcuts instead.

Would be kind of nice to have an OnGUI delegate to add UI elements at the right time even if existing ones were not modifyable.
