Widget can't modify child

[Arnaud Roncari]

Hi

I created a Widget "W_Filter" composed of an check box and an text block.

I added severals times this widget class into another widget (check screen), and I tried to modify the text block of each child, but i could'nt/ didn't find how to do it...

Help

Use Get Child At function and Cast Actual Widget.


WBP_CheckBoxs







WBP_CheckBoxItem

There's no need for the above at all.

Create a text variable in the child, flag it as Instance Editable bind it to the text box (or set the Text Box' text in the Construction Script). It will now be easily editable by the widget owner.

I used your solution, thanks man !

One more question, what's the difference between pre-construct and construct ?

Pre-Construct allows you to see the changes straight in the designer and experiment without the need to run the project.

Or to word it better:

As an example, if I used just Construct in my original example, my designer would look like so:



Notice the mismatch between the desired button text and what the button shows. The button text is not going to update until I actually run the game and the widget's Construction Script applies the changes. Pre-Construct allows for an instant preview, though.
