Adding a dropdown list to a graphview menu with a popupfield

Unity Engine
1

ive done a little reading and think the best way to make a dropdown list with the items from a list i have would be to use a popupfield.

i have a toolbar in this menu its a visual node graphing menu with the toolbar at the top with buttons on it which i want the dropdown list to appear on to select from a list of gameobjects.

toolbar here is a UnityEditor.UIElements.Toolbar()) that im drawing at the end of the method with
rootVisualElement.Add(toolbar);

ive tried using toolbar.Add(new PopupField(SpeakerList.ToString())); and nothing appears ive ran into a brick wall in lack of documentation i can find and dont know where to look.
any help would be appreciated as im very new to working with graphview.

Add a ToolBarMenu to your Toolbar instead: Unity - Scripting API: ToolbarMenu

Not a worry. If you are learning about the graph view there is this tutorial:

It’s a bit out of date so some class names and methods might be different nowadays. Referring to the documentation should get you sorted.

Otherwise feel free to give me a shout. I’ve muddled a good bit with graph view.

Otherwise otherwise, if you want a more out of the box working graph view system there’s xnode: GitHub - Siccity/xNode: Unity Node Editor: Lets you view and edit node graphs inside Unity
