[Unity] Adding controls to a canvas programmatically

Basp · 13 May 2014, 16:46

I'm trying to add some controls to a Canvas element programmatically. In other XAML based frameworks, I'd simply create the control and add it to the Canvas's Children, like so:

var button = new Button();
myCanvas.Children.Add(button);

However, this does not appear to work in Noesis GUI. The Canvas control doesn't expose a Children property. Is there any other way to add items programmatically?

Current Unity API exposes most of the functionality via methods, so to access the Children collection of a Panel you should call GetChildren():

var button = new Button();
myCanvas.GetChildren().Add(button);

We want to change this for 1.2 version, providing C# properties to access element properties, trying to follow WPF API as much as we can.

Thanks for the response! Any news on when 1.2 is out?

We are working hard because we are a bit late according to our planning.
I can't set an official date, but it will be soon.
