Resolved How to get rect of a clicked button?

Hi.

I can't seem to be able to figure this out today.

I need to get the position of a click inside a button. If I do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (GUILayout.Button("", GUILayout.Width(tileSize), GUILayout.Height(tileSize)))
2. {
3.     Debug.Log(GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect());
4. }

I get:

(x:0.00, y:0.00, width:1.00, height:1.00)

So clearly the previous rect data isn't there yet.

I guess it could be something to do with IMGUI state, like layout and repaint, but I can't seem to be able to figure this out... feels like I've maybe forgotten something...

I know I can get the last rect elsewhere outside of a button click, like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Skip layout
2. if (Event.current.type == EventType.Layout)
3.       continue;
4.  
5. // OK rect data
6. lastRect = GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect();

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I will answer my self.

I figured I'll skip using button.

What I do instead:

Loop all rectangular areas I want to draw. For each rectangle, reserve an area, as I'm using automatic layout of EditorGUILayout in Editor Window:

Code (CSharp):

1. var area = GUILayoutUtility.GetRect(tileSize, tileSize);

Then store this rect data and other stuff in some custom struct, which I put in a List.

Later in code, when editor is not in Layout phase (I guess I'll have to check that, not sure) I will loop the data structs and see if mouse was clicked in a rect that belongs to that object. After I know this I can figure out where in that rect I clicked:

Code (CSharp):

1. // later in code
2. foreach (var data in rectData)
3. {
4.     // other checks here
5.  
6.     if (data.rect.Contains(Event.current.mousePosition))
7.     {
8.         // do stuff
9.     }
10. }
