How to clear the search bar via C#

Is there a way to clear the project browser search bar?

 

You'll have to do it using reflection.

The Project browsers class is internal, and the clear search method is private. The source is here.

You can find the project view instances by calling Resources.FindObjectOfTypeAll. That's how Unity finds editor windows internally in quite a few cases. Again, since the ProjectBrowser Since the type's internal, you'll either have to use EditorWindow as the search parameter and filter for type name, or call that method through reflection as well.

 

OMG! I did it

here's the code if anyone needs it:

Code (CSharp):

1. var pb = Type.GetType("UnityEditor.ProjectBrowser,UnityEditor");
2.         var ins = pb.GetField("s_LastInteractedProjectBrowser", BindingFlags.Static| BindingFlags.Public).GetValue(null);
3.         var method = pb.GetMethod("ClearSearch", BindingFlags.NonPublic|BindingFlags.Instance);
4.         method.Invoke(ins, null);

Thanks Baste

 

I didn't spot LastInteractedProjectBrowser, nice catch.
