A ToolbarA row of buttons and basic controls at the top of the Unity Editor that allows you to interact with the Editor in various ways (e.g. scaling, translation). More info
See in Glossary is an Editor-only control that serves as a horizontal container. You can add any visual elementsA node of a visual tree that instantiates or derives from the C# VisualElement class. You can style the look, define the behaviour, and display it on screen as part of the UI. More info
See in Glossary into a Toolbar, but to have a consistent visual style within the Toolbar, use the following elements because they have a predefined style that matches the Toolbar style:
You can create a Toolbar with UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems. More info
See in Glossary Builder, UXML, or C#. The following C# example creates a Toolbar with a button and a toggle:
using UnityEditor.UIElements;
...
var toolbar = new Toolbar();
var button = new ToolbarButton(() => { Debug.Log("Button clicked"); }) { text = "Click me" };
toolbar.Add(button);
toolbar.Add(new ToolbarToggle() { text = "Toggle me" });
C# class: Toolbar
Namespace: UnityEditor.UIElements
Base class: VisualElement
This element inherits the following attributes from its base class:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
focusable |
boolean |
True if the element can be focused. |
tabindex |
int |
An integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero. |
This element also inherits the following attributes from VisualElement:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
content-container |
string |
Child elements are added to it, usually this is the same as the element itself. |
name |
string |
The name of this VisualElement. Use this property to write USS selectors that target a specific element. The standard practice is to give an element a unique name. |
picking-mode |
UIElements.PickingMode |
Determines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries. |
style |
string |
Reference to the style object of this element. Contains data computed from USS files or inline styles written to this object in C#. |
tooltip |
string |
Text to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time. |
usage-hints |
UIElements.UsageHints |
A combination of hint values that specify high-level intended usage patterns for the VisualElement. This property can only be set when the VisualElement is not yet part of a Panel. Once part of a Panel, this property becomes effectively read-only, and attempts to change it will throw an exception. The specification of proper UsageHints drives the system to make better decisions on how to process or accelerate certain operations based on the anticipated usage pattern. Note that those hints do not affect behavioral or visual results, but only affect the overall performance of the panel and the elements within. It’s advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints, but keep in mind that some UsageHints might be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform). |
view-data-key |
string |
Used for view data persistence (ie. tree expanded states, scroll position, zoom level). This is the key used to save/load the view data from the view data store. Not setting this key will disable persistence for this VisualElement. |
The following table lists all the C# public property names and their related USS selector.
| C# property | USS selector | Description |
|---|---|---|
ussClassName |
.unity-toolbar |
USS class name of elements of this type. |
disabledUssClassName |
.unity-disabled |
USS class name of local disabled elements. |
You can also use the Matching Selectors section in the Inspector or the UI Toolkit Debugger to see which USS selectors affect the components of the VisualElement at every level of its hierarchy.
