    Hey,

    I am looking for the best way to create a visual element setup (editor) that binds to a simple float array property and can display it in a 2d float value grid.

    Like a float[25] array of fixed length being displayed in a 5x5 grid for editing.

    I looked through the documentation and could not find a component that can handle this out of the box.

    Any tips how to get started?

    UI Toolkit doesn't have out of the box grid-view support, but it's pretty straight forward to implement it yourself using visual elements as rows, and filling them up with more visual elements as columns.

    Thanks. Buidling custom elements is in fact a lot easier than I expected. I was a little worried about the binding part when using a float array, but after we started replacing the current BindProperty workflow with a custom solution things are a lot easier and in our case (node graph) more manageable.
