How can I derive from a class through reflection? The following works for getting an existing instance and for creating a new instance of the class.
public class TreeViewSHWinstances {
[MenuItem("Reflect/CreateSHWinstances")]
static void Activate() {
Main();
}
static void Main() {
Assembly asm = typeof(UnityEditor.EditorWindow).Assembly;
Type wndType = asm.GetType ("UnityEditor.SceneHierarchyWindow");
// Grabs an existing instance if it exists and then sets the focus to it.
EditorWindow exstWnd = EditorWindow.GetWindow (wndType);
// Always create a new instance regardless if one already exists.
EditorWindow newWnd = (EditorWindow)Activator.CreateInstance (wndType);
}
}
This is what I actually want to do, but obviously the assembly is not yet loaded and when I have tried to acquire it form the above class I get an error that says it is not a Type even though I'm requesting wndType.
// THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO NOR DOES IT WORK.
public MySceneHierarchyWindow : UnityEditor.SceneHierarchyWindow {
}
My guess was to use Emit in some way, but I after experimenting with it I'm not sure it is the right direction.
