Class EventDispatcherSignalTypePicker

Shared searchable selector for concrete EventDispatcherSignal subtypes.
Renders a dropdown button that opens an UnityEditor.IMGUI.Controls.AdvancedDropdown with a built-in search box; the caller receives the new stored value through a callback so existing serialized data models (string ids based on FullName or AssemblyQualifiedName) are preserved unchanged.

Methods

GetConcreteSignalTypes()

Returns all concrete, non-abstract, parameterless-constructible subtypes of EventDispatcherSignal, ordered by full name. Backed by Unity's UnityEditor.TypeCache so the result refreshes automatically after assembly reloads. Excludes types declared in the project's own test assemblies (Serenity.Global.Infrastructure.Editor.EditorTypePickerFilters) — a designer picking a signal type here should never see a throwaway test fixture.

Declaration
public static Type[] GetConcreteSignalTypes()
Returns
Type Description
Type[]

GetConcreteSignalTypesIncludingTestAssemblies()

The same parameterless-constructible query as GetConcreteSignalTypes(), without the test-assembly exclusion. Use this for a pure resolvability check (does this AssemblyQualifiedName name a real concrete signal type?) rather than for populating a human-facing dropdown — GameModeSettingsCreator's validation is the one caller that needs this: it must accept whatever concrete type the caller configured, including one declared in a test assembly during that creator's own tests, while the Inspector/wizard dropdowns that also read from this picker keep using the filtered GetConcreteSignalTypes() so a designer never sees a test fixture as a choice.

Declaration
public static IEnumerable<Type> GetConcreteSignalTypesIncludingTestAssemblies()
Returns
Type Description
IEnumerable<Type>

GetDisplayLabel(Type, SignalTypeValueMode)

Returns the display label for a given type according to mode.

Declaration
public static string GetDisplayLabel(Type type, SignalTypeValueMode mode)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type type
SignalTypeValueMode mode
Returns
Type Description
string

GetStoredValue(Type, SignalTypeValueMode)

Returns the stored string for a given type according to mode.

Declaration
public static string GetStoredValue(Type type, SignalTypeValueMode mode)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type type
SignalTypeValueMode mode
Returns
Type Description
string

RenderSearchableSignalTypeField(string, string, SignalTypeValueMode, bool, Object, string, Action<string>)

Renders a searchable selector for an EventDispatcherSignal subtype.
The current value is resolved against GetConcreteSignalTypes(); selection writes the new value through onValueChanged, while undo and dirty marking are performed against undoTarget when supplied.

Declaration
public static void RenderSearchableSignalTypeField(string label, string currentValue, SignalTypeValueMode valueMode, bool allowNone, Object undoTarget, string undoName, Action<string> onValueChanged)
Parameters
Type Name Description
string label

Label rendered to the left of the dropdown button.
string currentValue

Current stored string (id) backing the selection.
SignalTypeValueMode valueMode

How the stored string maps to a Type.
bool allowNone

Whether a <None> entry (storing empty string) is offered.
Object undoTarget

Object recorded for undo and marked dirty on change; may be null.
string undoName

Undo group name; falls back to "Change {label}" when null.
Action<string> onValueChanged

Callback receiving the new stored string when the user selects an item.

RenderSearchableSignalTypeProperty(SerializedProperty, string, SignalTypeValueMode, bool)

Renders a searchable signal-type selector bound to a serialized string property.

Declaration
public static void RenderSearchableSignalTypeProperty(SerializedProperty property, string label, SignalTypeValueMode valueMode, bool allowNone)
Parameters
Type Name Description
SerializedProperty property

The serialized string property holding the stored signal type.
string label

Label rendered to the left of the dropdown button.
SignalTypeValueMode valueMode

How the stored string maps to a Type.
bool allowNone

Whether a <None> entry (storing empty string) is offered.
Remarks

Use this rather than RenderSearchableSignalTypeField(string, string, SignalTypeValueMode, bool, Object, string, Action<string>) whenever the value lives in a UnityEditor.SerializedProperty. The dropdown resolves asynchronously, so the selection arrives after the GUI pass has applied its changes, and writing through the captured property at that point silently does nothing. The write is deferred through Serenity.Global.Infrastructure.Settings.Editor.SerenityTypeSearchPicker.WriteStringDeferred(UnityEditor.SerializedObject,System.String,System.String) instead.

ShowSignalTypeDropdown(Rect, string, bool, Action<Type>)

Opens the searchable signal-type dropdown for the "pick a Type" use case (as opposed to RenderSearchableSignalTypeField(string, string, SignalTypeValueMode, bool, Object, string, Action<string>)'s "edit a string field" use case).
The catalog comes from GetConcreteSignalTypes() and items display Type.Name (AssemblyQualifiedName). The selected index is mapped back to a Type (null for the <None> entry, offered only when allowNone is true) and delivered through onTypeSelected; the caller retains ownership of instantiation, serialization, undo, and dirty marking.

Declaration
public static void ShowSignalTypeDropdown(Rect buttonRect, string title, bool allowNone, Action<Type> onTypeSelected)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Rect buttonRect

Screen rect the dropdown is anchored to (typically the clicked button's rect).
string title

Title shown at the root of the dropdown.
bool allowNone

Whether a <None> entry is offered, mapping to a null type.
Action<Type> onTypeSelected

Callback receiving the selected Type, or null for <None>.
