I have Widget Blueprints for my Main Menu, Pause menu, and Options menu. There is a button on both the Main menu and Pause menu, to open the Options menu. It all works great until it comes time to close the Options menu. I would like to return to the parent Widget that opened the Options menu (Main menu or Pause menu). What is the best way to address this? Is there a way to return to the calling parent Widget, or perhaps a better way of handling this?
Thank you.
How have you organised it? Do the submenus pop up on top and the Main is still visible in the background while the Options display?
No. They are independent and I do a CloseParent when I open the new ones. I guess I could always consruct the settings to overlay a different portion of the screen, but was going for a different look.
Why not hide it instead and show it again as soon as the child closes. Or use a Widget Switcher if all we want is to have only 1 menu visible at a time.
You could even keep all as is and dispatch the info about closing a submenu to whoever manages the menu status. The main menu could do that just fine - especially straightforward to set up if its the main that creates the submenus. Is it?
Do tell if you need an example of any of the above.
Thank you both. Several great approaches. Unfortunately I cannot use WidgetSwitcher in this particular case, but the hide/show approach or the event subscription approaches would both likely work. Thank you both. I will look into them both.
