How can I essentially do “create widget”->”add to viewport” inside of a c++ implementation file? I can’t find ANYTHING to explain how to do this, but I was told that it was possible.

TSubclassOf<class UUserWidget> WidgetClass;

I have read several links regarding creation of widgets in C++. One of them is this:
Unfortunately that was in 2014. It’s 2 years from then. So I assume, UE is much better and support many more libraries. So with UI 4.12.5, is it really possible to fully create a simple widget with a simple UTextBlock in it and display a text on screen?
Remember, my question is to do that in pure C++. No blueprint widget or any reference to blueprint widget is allowed in here. If you can answer it, please pr…
