How to highlight labels in SettingsProvider search?

I'm trying to upgrade Bolt to use the latest SettingsProvider API including search.

I got it mostly working, except the "highlight" effect that comes with search in default panels.

What API can I use to achieve this?

 

I got it everything working except the blue background, which I've replaced with a bold.
Is there a new tag for rich text labels that would allow this highlight effect?

 

Hi,

How do you create your SettingsProvider? It works well by default in my project.
This is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. [SettingsProvider]
2. private static SettingsProvider CreateSettingsProvider()
3. {
4.     return new SettingsProvider("Preferences/Console", SettingsScope.User, new string[] {"Preview logs", "Reload Style", "Padding", "Font size", "Smooth auto-scroll", "Show Console On Fatal Error", "Console"})
5.     {
6.         guiHandler =  (searchContext => ConsoleWindow.PreferencesGUI())
7.     };
8. }
9.  
10. public static void PreferencesGUI()
11. {
12.     ...
13. }

 

The core of it would be in the content of your PreferencesGUI method.
I'm guessing you're using Unity's default EditorGUILayout.PropertyField methods?
If so that would explain why it's automatic. Unfortunately I can't use them.

 

Nope I don't use PropertyField. I've just found than when you are searching, it highlights only the prefix label so you have to use something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorGUILayout.PrefixLabel("Highlight me please");

 

That's nice, but I'm not using PrefixLabel either, Bolt has its own very custom inspector framework. I wonder if there is any way to get that blue background otherwise?

 

Oh sorry, I missunderstood what you want. You want to have the highlight in a custom editor/window, right ?
So here the solution with a bit of reflection:

Code (CSharp):

1. private static ConstructorInfo s_labelHighlightScopeConstructor;
2. public static IDisposable LabelHighlightScope(string labelHighlightContext, Color selectionColor, Color textColor)
3. {
4.     if (s_labelHighlightScopeConstructor == null)
5.     {
6.         Type labelHighlightScopeType = System.Type.GetType("UnityEditor.EditorGUI+LabelHighlightScope,UnityEditor.dll");
7.         s_labelHighlightScopeConstructor = labelHighlightScopeType.GetConstructor(new Type[] {typeof(string), typeof(Color), typeof(Color) });
8.     }
9.     return (IDisposable)s_labelHighlightScopeConstructor.Invoke(null, new object[] {labelHighlightContext, selectionColor, textColor});
10. }

And you can call it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using(LabelHighlightScope("YouSelectedLabel", Color.blue, Color.white))
2. {
3.     //your code here
4. }

 

Perfect, thanks!
