Temporary Popup floating window element ?

Unity Engine

Hello,

I was just wondering how to go about achieving this in UI elements. Basically a fuzzy finder window. I have it basically working, but other fields will “overlap” this window element…making it useless.

I would like to be able to have this popup window appear on a field specifically…while also having depth priority so other fields don’t overlay on top.

Is creating a new window without a “tab” a hack around this? I feel like there is a simpler solution I am missing.

Hi,
does your popup window have to be a VisualElement and not a regular EditorWindow? If so, then you could temporarily append your popup VisualElement to the rootVisualElement of the containing window.

is there anyway to get the rootVisualElement from working within a PropertDrawer? If not…I might just have to do a temporary GUI window popup…appears to be the most practical approach atm.
