Enhanced Input Actions with Axis Values In Common UI

How do you get axis values in Common UI when using Enhanced Input Actions?

I am trying to implement a character changing menu that lets you choose between various models for your character and displays a preview using a 2D screen capture and render target in an image material. I would like to be able to use the right thumbstick to be able to rotate the character so the preview rotates. I realized that my custom button, derived from CommonButton, only seems to be able to handle a binary value that calls on clicked. If I have an Enhanced Input Action with an axis value, is there any way to get a Common UI widget to recognize it and get its value?

It has also occurred to me that in this particular case I might be able to “Set Input Game and UI” and then remove my default mapping context to achieve a similar effect, but I would rather avoid that if possible and I would still like to learn if it’s possible to get an axis value in Common UI.

I’m also trying to work entirely in blueprints. C++ is not an impossibility if I imust use it (I do have some experience), but I am trying to work entirely in blueprints as long as I can for a variety of reasons.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I also have this question. I created a WorldMap UI and I could move and zoom the map. I looked into it thinking that Common UI would have events for the axis but I couldn’t find any.

For this specific UI I had to create the Input Event inside the player controller and bind it.

If anyone knows how to use axis in Common UI we would appreciate it!

I also encountered this problem,and I found that I can bind InputAction in customwidget.cpp

    ConfirmHandle = RegisterUIActionBinding(FBindUIActionArgs(ConfirmEnhancedInputAction, true, FSimpleDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ThisClass::HandleConfirmAction)));

but the type of FBindUIActionArgs.OnExecuteAction is FSimpleDelegate

FBindUIActionArgs(const UInputAction* InInputAction, bool bShouldDisplayInActionBar, const FSimpleDelegate & InOnExecuteAction)
	: InputAction(InInputAction)
	, bDisplayInActionBar(bShouldDisplayInActionBar)
	, OnExecuteAction(InOnExecuteAction)
{}


FSimpleDelegate OnExecuteAction;

That means I can’t get the axis values😂

I found that we can probably implement this function in Blueprint

They didn’t think about using axis inputs,so please find another way

I found a very simple way to handle axis input in Widget, just override On Analog Value Changed
