How to do "HideInInspector" from a custom inspector?

I've often done custom stuff to be shown in a custom inspector, based on some criteria, and always hiding certain fields is of course simple with HideInInspector, but how do I hide a certain field based on some condition using a CustomEditor?

I know I could do this in a reverse fashion by using HideInInspector in the target script, and then recreating the thing manually in the custom inspector, but that would require a lot of manual work if there are multiple fields that may need to be hidden, and it would also result in a lot of ugly code repetition too. There should be some way to do HideInInspector in a CustomEditor too, right?

 

Something like this.

Code (csharp):

1. GUI.enabled = someCondition;
2. EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(MyCoolField);
3. GUI.enabled = true;

So here if `someCondition` is false then all GUI after this line is greyed out. If you turn it back on immediately, then only one line is greyed out conditionally.

 

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I actually just found from the decompiled Editor.cs that EditorGUILayout.PropertyField does the job. I was actually going for not rendering the field at all (so not calling PropertyField at all for certain fields as opposed to disabling those fields), but yeah, it's good to keep the GUI.enabled = false option in mind too.

In any case, problem solved!
