How do I stop this “Modify Text” menu showing when the player right clicks inside an editable text box widget?

Hi Solus Peregrine ,

This is not a bug. You can disable the ContextMenu by selecting your EditableBox in the UMG designer and unchecking the AllowContextMenu variable.

Cheers,

Hi project.gheist, I forgot to mention that this is on version 4.10, I’m not sure but I found a change log that says that option was added in 4.11. Is there no way around this for 4.10?

This feature indeed got added in 4.11. A workaround/dirty hack would be to do the following at the top of the function SEditableText::SummonContextMenu in SEditableText.cpp to disable the functionality in cooked builds;

#if !WITH_EDITOR
return;
#endif

That’s perfect, cheers
