How to use a ScrollView in a GUI.Window

Unity Engine
1

I’m having trouble getting a scrollview working properly in a GUI.Window.

Basically I want to create something sort of like a journal, that will have a log of information that you can scroll thru. I’m choosing a window over a textbox as it may not just contain text but may include buttons as well. I dont know how to get a scrollview working in a window though, it doesnt seem to be working in the window function.

Oh, and I’m using C# as well.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Without seeing code it’s hard to understand exaclty what’s going wrong, but here’s a simple java example that shows it working.

var scrollPosition : Vector2 = Vector2.zero;

function OnGUI () 
	{	
	windowRect = GUI.Window (0, Rect(Screen.width/2 - 200, Screen.height/2 - 50, 400, 100), DoMyWindow, "My Window"); 
	//Parameters
	//Id - Id of window
	//clientRect - Location to draw it (this is center screen)
	//func - Function that draws the window contents
	//text - Text to display in the top bar
	}

function DoMyWindow (windowID : int) 
	{
	//Start Scrollview
	scrollPosition = GUI.BeginScrollView (Rect(0,0,400,100), scrollPosition, Rect(0,0,400,400));	
	//Parameters
	//Position - Position and size to draw the scroll view
	//scrollPosition - Variable that will hold the current scroll location (X.Y)
	//viewRect - Area Inside the scroll view - should always be bigger than the size in Position
	
	//Draw stuff in the scroll area
	if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,20,100,20), "Hello World"))
		print ("Got a click");
		
	//End Scrollview
	GUI.EndScrollView();
	}

Maybe that can help you spot what’s going on in your code
