How to switch on/off statistics panel in editor wh

Question

I want to switch this panel on/off by C# script while playing. Is this possible? Haven't found any Editor API functions for this.

You can do it with reflection. Modified similar answer I made long ago. Below is a working set/get stats function. Tested with Unity 5.4.0f1. I put the Unity version so that people won't complain when it stops working. Unity's update can break this anytime if they rename any of the variables.

• GameView = A class that is used to represent Unity GameView tab in the Editor.
• GetMainGameView = static function that returns current GameView instance.
• m_Stats = a boolean variable that is used to determine if stats should be displayed or not.

Code:

//Show/Hide stats
void showStats(bool enableStats)
{
    Assembly asm = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Editor));
    Type type = asm.GetType("UnityEditor.GameView");
    if (type != null)
    {
        MethodInfo gameViewFunction = type.GetMethod("GetMainGameView", BindingFlags.Static |
            BindingFlags.NonPublic);

        object gameViewInstance = gameViewFunction.Invoke(null, null);


        FieldInfo getFieldInfo = type.GetField("m_Stats", BindingFlags.Instance |
                                               BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        getFieldInfo.SetValue(gameViewInstance, enableStats);
    }
}

//Returns true if stats is enabled
bool statsIsEnabled()
{
    Assembly asm = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Editor));
    Type type = asm.GetType("UnityEditor.GameView");
    if (type != null)
    {
        MethodInfo gameViewFunction = type.GetMethod("GetMainGameView", BindingFlags.Static |
            BindingFlags.NonPublic);

        object gameViewInstance = gameViewFunction.Invoke(null, null);


        FieldInfo getFieldInfo = type.GetField("m_Stats", BindingFlags.Instance |
                                               BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        return (bool)getFieldInfo.GetValue(gameViewInstance);
    }
    return false;
}

Usage:

//Show stats
showStats(true);

//Hide stats
showStats(false);

//Read stats
bool stats = statsIsEnabled();

No it's not possible, unless you are a persistent hacker. GameView is an internal class, not accessible for editor scripting. But hey, there always is an option for good ol' reflection.
