GUILayout beginArea not working with scrollview

Questions & Answers

I just converted a GUILayout area to be scrollable, and suddenly it doesnt respect the area it is placed in. In the code below, if I comment out the beginScrollview line and the endscrollview line, the list of buttons displays in a bar down the right side of the screen. if I run it as is, they display in a bar down the left side of the screen, and I am unable to change the size or position of the bar by adjusting the XYWH variables (well I can change the buildingMenuH variable and it makes the area shorter as expected, but the others do nothing). This example is almost identical to the one in the docs so I dont know what is going on.

buildingMenuX = Screen.width*0.9;
	buildingMenuY = Screen.height*0.1;
	buildingMenuW = Screen.width*0.1;
	buildingMenuH = Screen.height*0.8;
GUILayout.BeginArea(Rect(buildingMenuX,buildingMenuY,buildingMenuW,buildingMenuH));
		buildMenuScrollPosition = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(buildMenuScrollPosition);
		GUILayout.BeginVertical();
		for(i=0;i<buildings.length;i++)
		{
			//some buttons
		}
		GUILayout.EndVertical();
		GUI.EndScrollView();
		GUILayout.EndArea();

I usually format GUI stuff that way. Doesn’t change compilation / execution, but it sure help me oversee what’s going on :

buildingMenuX = Screen.width*0.9;
buildingMenuY = Screen.height*0.1;
buildingMenuW = Screen.width*0.1;
buildingMenuH = Screen.height*0.8;

GUILayout.BeginArea(Rect(buildingMenuX,buildingMenuY,buildingMenuW,buildingMenuH));
   buildMenuScrollPosition = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(buildMenuScrollPosition);
       GUILayout.BeginVertical();
           for(i=0;i<buildings.length;i++)
           {
               //some buttons
           }
       GUILayout.EndVertical();
   GUI.EndScrollView(); // !!!
GUILayout.EndArea();

Then, you can easily see what is your problem. You’re calling GUILayout.BeginScrollView and GUI.EndScrollView.
