Prerequisites
This guide is for developers who are familiar with Unity, UI Toolkit, and C# scripting. Before you start, get familiar with the following:
Create the example
To create a new custom control class in C#, inherit it from the class. This allows you to create and use this element in C#, but won’t automatically expose it in UXML and UI Builder. To expose it, add the attribute. To expose the attributes, add the attribute to each property that you want to be visible in UXML and the UI Builder.
VisualElementUxmlElementUxmlAttribute- Create a Unity project with any template.
- In the folder, create a C# script named
Assetswith the following content:MyElement.cs
using UnityEngine;using UnityEngine.UIElements;[UxmlElement]partial class MyElement : VisualElement{ string _myString = "default_value"; int _myInt = 2; [UxmlAttribute] public string myString { get => _myString; set { _myString = value; Debug.Log($"myString set to: {_myString}"); // React here, e.g. update UI } } [UxmlAttribute] public int myInt { get => _myInt; set { _myInt = value; Debug.Log($"myInt set to: {_myInt}"); // React here, e.g. update UI } }}
Create a UXML to see the attribute
- Create a UXML file with any name you want.
- Double-click the UXML file to open it in the UI Builder.
- In the Library section of the UI Builder, select Project > Custom Controls (C#) > MyElement.
- Drag MyElement to the Hierarchy window.
- To see the custom attributes for MyElement, go to the tab of MyElement:Inspector
