```

### Parameters

**** (\[Type]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.type)): **** (\[int]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.int32)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                           | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [Object](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.object) |             |

### Remarks

This will return a recycled state object that is unique for `controlID`. If there is no state object then a new one will be created and hooked up to the `controlID`.

On the first call into [GUIUtility.GetStateObject](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/guiutility/getstateobject.md) a new state object will be created. The `controlID` uniquely refers to this object.  On subsequent calls the stored object will be returned.
