    Hello everyone,

    I'm building a custom Dialogue Nodes based system using the GraphView API similar to https://github.com/Wafflus/unity-dialogue-system

    I would like to replace basics TextFields by LocalizedStrings.

    The problem is that I don't know if there is a UIElement that I can add to my visual tree implementing all functions, basically like the Editor one :

    Does anyone knows a simple way to do it?

    Thanks for your quick answer.

    However, I'm not able to access any SerializedProperty in my context.
    My class is inheriting from the Node class under 'UnityEditor.Experimental.GraphView', I'm drawing manually the UI in a custom Editor Window. Like the following attachment shows

    I tried to add a LocalizedString SerializeField in my Node Class,

    then write a custom Editor script for my Node but it doesn't make any effect cause I'm not drawing an inspector window I think.

    What I want is to replace the highlighted TextField above by a LocalizedString.

    Thanks in advance for any help :)

    In my GraphView inheriting class I call Draw() on my node
    upload_2022-3-24_20-3-1.png
    which add some VisualElements to different containers upload_2022-3-24_20-8-29.png
    I Add lists, button or texfield to access all my variables by implementing their callback and this is fine cause these are "simple" variables as string or int.
    [EDIT] Forgot to attach the CreateTextField Utility I use sorry

    You should be able to do something like this:
    Wrap the value in a ScriptableObject then use the property drawer.

    Code (csharp):
    1. public class SerializedInstance : ScriptableObject
    2.     {
    3.         public LocalizedString localizedString;
    4.     }
    5.  
    6.     public LocalizedString myString = new LocalizedString();
    7.     SerializedInstance m_Instance;
    8.     SerializedObject m_SerializedObject;
    9.     SerializedProperty m_SerializedProperty;
    10.  
    11.     VisualElement CreateLocalizedStringNode()
    12.     {
    13.         if (m_Instance == null)
    14.         {
    15.             m_Instance = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<SerializedInstance>();
    16.             m_Instance.localizedString = myString;
    17.             m_SerializedObject = new SerializedObject(m_Instance);
    18.             m_SerializedProperty = m_SerializedObject.FindProperty("localizedString");
    19.         }
    20.  
    21.         return new IMGUIContainer(() =>
    22.         {
    23.             m_SerializedObject.Update();
    24.             EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(m_SerializedProperty);
    25.             if (m_SerializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties())
    26.             {
    27.                 myString = m_Instance.localizedString;
    28.             }
    29.         });
    30.     }
