Access the UMG TextBlock size from blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Dear developpers,

So this is the problem I am stuck with:

  1. I’ve created a TextBlock in the Widget BP.
  2. The text is bound to a function which reads another variable from another BP.

Then, I have an image behind this text as a background. But as my text content changes dynamically (as it is taken from a variable), I want the background image to change its size accordingly so as to cover all the text.

Is there a way to get access to the size of this text (I mean height and width)? This can help me to use these data to change the size of the image.

Thank you very much in advance,

If you want the true text size, you can call the TextBlock’s “Get Desired Size” function. You can break the resulting struct into height and width.
