EditorWindow.SendEvent

Description

Sends an Event to a window.

The SendEvent public function passes a selected Event to a chosen visible window. The Event can be found in the EventType list.

In the following scripts sendEvent looks up the receiveEvent window. A Paste event is then sent over when the button is pressed.

#pragma strict
// Send an event to another editor window.  This second
// window needs to be visible to receive the event.
public class sendEvent extends EditorWindow {
	@MenuItem("Examples/Send Event")
	static function Init() {
		var window: sendEvent = EditorWindow.GetWindow.<sendEvent>(true, "Send Event Window");
		window.Show();
	}
	function OnGUI() {
		if (GUI.Button(new Rect(10.0f, 10.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f), "Send Event")) {
			var win: EditorWindow = GetWindow.<receiveEvent>();
			win.SendEvent(EditorGUIUtility.CommandEvent("Paste"));
		}
	}
