BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy

[bcristian]

Hello

This should be included when enumerating static fields/properties, without it members created with the following pattern are not seen:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

class B<T> where T : B<T> {     public static T Prop { get; protected set; } } class C : B<C> {} // C.Prop, of type C, will not be seen without BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy

So far, I’ve identified 2 places where the flag needs to be added:
in ReflectionTools.cs
private const BindingFlags flagsEverything = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy;
and in EditorUtils_ContextMenu.cs, at GetStaticFieldSelectionMenu and GetStaticPropertySelectionMenu

Please let me know if you agree to this, and if there are more places I whould add it.

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes this does makes sense and nothing wrong about adding it as far as I can tell.
There is no other place that this would need to be added other than ReflectionTools and EditorUtils_ContextMenus, so everything will be good to go with these 2 files changed 🙂

I will also make this change in next version.
Thanks.
