Official Interacting with subsections of text.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about it but using link tag can we implement things like adding effects to sections of texts?
Like a shake effect, resizing text or changing color, etc?
Can we get access to the vertex of each letter?

 

Hi, is it possible to make TextField also support rich text and text interaction? This function is very important to me, even imgui supports these, I hope uitoolkit can support it as soon as possible, thank you very much.

 

The linked package seems to be missing the cursor asset... no big deal but just thought I'd point that out

 

Will UI Toolkit links support EditorGUI.hyperLinkClicked?

 

Hello,
here is my use case:
I was making a stack-trace view and wanted the same behavior of opening the file at a specific line from the Console window.
I checked the CsReference repo and noticed that to open the file Console Window is using a callback that is always registered to `EditorGUI.hyperLinkClicked` and the method to open the file within it is internal.
This is mentioned in the documentation as well, although it does not explain how to format the path with the line number:

The logic for opening a file like that is missing in the UI toolkit's href tag, at least it wasn't working for me.
In the end, I used the <link> tag together with the public API I found `InternalEditorUtility.OpenFileAtLineExternal(filePath, line)` this API is undocumented but provides the exact behavior that I needed.

 

Hello, how long will it take for TextField to support rich text?

 

The PointerUpLinkTagEvent stops working after a while in very strange ways. I am overlaying a popup, with buttons inside. When I click on the buttons, oftentimes the text stops working afterwards.

That is, assume I create the popup, add it to the hierarchy, interact with it (particularly the buttons), then close it (i.e., remove it from the hierarchy), and then try to interact with the text on my screen. Such a text has the `PointerUpLinkTagEvent` attached to individual words, but for some reason, it stops working.

I thought it had something to do with event propagation, but I doubt it because I already tried removing the calls I was doing to that kind of methods.

Unity, is this experimental tool bug-free? I can't explain why the `PointerUpLinkTagEvent` would sometimes work, and sometimes it would not.

 

Shouldn't this be called

• PointerExitLinkTagEvent
• PointerEnterLinkTagEvent

(instad of Out / Over)
?

And where is the Clicked Event?

 

I suspect garbage collection in C# may be doing some very weird stuff with event callbacks. Ultimately, I was only able to workaround the issue by registering and unregistering the callbacks constantly on all of my text labels. In other words, I am resetting everything. I read on this thread (https://forum.unity.com/threads/qui...acks-on-ui-elements-textfield-button.1044016/) proposals to make it easier to debug events. It would be ideal if I could see in the debugger the callbacks attached to the events of a visual element.

UPDATE: I don't know why it seems I need to "force reset" the labels to apply the links, but I've also realized that modifying the string to a new value, and then to the old value, helped to make sure the link events worked.
