Are there some ways to Handle Right Mouse Click in UMG Button?

No - buttons are almost never right clickable except for in a few cases I’ve seen in other applications, all of which are bad UX decisions because it’s a control people don’t expect to be right clickable. So we didn’t design the standard button widget to support that behavior. Inheriting from UButton won’t solve it either, you’d need to implement a new slate widget with that functionality. If you just need to detect right mouse button down and up, that’s achievable with the overridable functions on all user widgets. With that you can make your own right clickable button widget.

OK, I keep bouncing my way to this post and I can no longer resist commenting. It’s a bad UX decision because it’s control people don’t expect to be right clickable? Seriously? Do you use Windows? Especially the most recent versions? There is this thing called a “Start Button” It’s right clickable. The left button in UI/UX is defined as the default option for a clickable target. The right buttons is a context selector for the other options that are available for the same target. Right buttons have existed on computer mice for decades. People are used to them. They allow the UI/UX designer to expand the user choices without adding items to the limited real estate of the computer screen. Yeah, I guess taking up more real estate is a GREAT design decision (sarcasm). In complex games like MMOs the number of controls and options available to the user is large and the user’s expections about having said controls quickly accessed are strong. Context based controls are vital. In a shooter game? Yeah, left click only buttons are normal and ARE expected to be that way by the user but that is not a reasonable assumption for all applications.
