Editor mode plugin crash

Hello UE4 community. I’ve been trying to fix a problem with editor crash. It occurs when I try to click on my custom plugin in editor modes. The delegates in SEditableTextBox seem to be the problem because when I comment them out everything works but no idea why. Here’s the code:

GridToolsEdModeToolkit.h


    

     FText GetRadius() const;
     void SetRadius(const FText& InText);
     static int32 Radius;
     

GridToolsEdModeToolkit.cpp




int32 FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::Radius = 0;

	
FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::FGridToolsEdModeToolkit()
{
        struct Locals
	{
		static bool IsWidgetEnabled()
		{
			return GEditor->GetSelectedActors()->Num() != 0;
		}
	};


                 SAssignNew(ToolkitWidget, SBorder)
		.VAlign(VAlign_Top)
		.HAlign(HAlign_Center)
		.Padding(5)
		.IsEnabled_Static(&Locals::IsWidgetEnabled)
		
			SNew(SVerticalBox)
			+SVerticalBox::Slot()
			.VAlign(VAlign_Top)
			.HAlign(HAlign_Left)
			.Padding(5)
			
				SNew(SEditableTextBox)
				.Text(this, &FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::GetRadius)
			]
		];
}

void FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::SetRadius(const FText& InText)
{
	FString tempString = InText.ToString();
	FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::Radius = FCString::Atoi(*tempString);
}

FText FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::GetRadius() const
{
	return FText::FromString(FString::FromInt(FGridToolsEdModeToolkit::Radius));
}

Line 1093 of SharedPointer.h is:


TSharedRef< ObjectType, Mode > AsShared()
	{
		TSharedPtr< ObjectType, Mode > SharedThis( WeakThis.Pin() );

		//
		// If the following assert goes off, it means one of the following:
		//
		//     - You tried to request a shared pointer before the object was ever assigned to one. (e.g. constructor)
		//     - You tried to request a shared pointer while the object is being destroyed (destructor chain)
		//
		// To fix this, make sure you create at least one shared reference to your object instance before requested,
		// and also avoid calling this function from your object's destructor.
		//
		check( SharedThis.Get() == this );

		// Now that we've verified the shared pointer is valid, we'll convert it to a shared reference
		// and return it!
		return SharedThis.ToSharedRef();
	}

Any ideas what could be wrong ?

The answer is there in the comment above the assert :slight_smile:
You can’t use SharedThis() from within a constructor. I know you haven’t used it explicitly, but the .Text() call expects a shared pointer, so it’s called implicitly when you pass this.

You need to either delay registering your delegate until somewhere post-constructor, or use a different type of binding - Text_Lambda or Text_Raw.

Changing attributes type to .Text_Raw and .OnTextChanged_Raw fixed the crash and everything works perfectly. Thank you very much :slight_smile:
