remove empty space between the EditorGUILayout.TextField's label and inputbox

Unity Engine

Hi.
I am trying to create an editorwindow menu but I have a problem with the EditorGUILayout.TextField.

My code is something like this:

void OnGUI () 
{
 EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
 {
  EditorGUILayout.TextField("mytextfield", value);
  GUILayout.Space(10);
  EditorGUILayout.Toggle("myToggle", true);
 }
 EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
}

As you see, something very simple.
I can control the space between the Textfiled and the toggle by changing the GUILayout.Space(x) line but I cannot find where to change the space beween the EditorGUILayout.TextField’s label and inputbox.
Same problem with the toggle’s name and checkbox too.
It looks like there is 2 tabulations inbetween but I would like to remove this.

You can use this method to get the label size auto adjusted

/// <summary>
  /// Create a EditorGUILayout.TextField with no space between label and text field
  /// </summary>
  public static string TextField(string label, string text)
  {
  var textDimensions = GUI.skin.label.CalcSize(new GUIContent(label));
  EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth = textDimensions.x;
  return EditorGUILayout.TextField(label, text);
  }

Thanks, this worked well for me. And to control the width of the input field you can add a third parameter to the return statement as show here:

return EditorGUILayout.TextField( label, text,  GUILayout.Width( 400 ) );

Beware, I observed you need to reset the value via

 EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth = -1;

Otherwise all future labels within the inspector will have the width of your first label.

I moved this necroed thread from 2014 to the correct forum (IMGUI).
