How do you call the click event on a specific button in an array of buttons in UMG?

This popped up for me as well.

I want to have an alternative method of clicking on buttons using the number keys on the keyboard. That means I have to create an array of all buttons in a menu and call onclick on one of them depending on what menu is open and what number key was pressed.

No, I don’t wrap my buttons in user widgets, because I can’t get those to 100% act like the default buttons do right now.

So, this still is not possible in 2020?

Make a widget child, call it “childWidget_Buttons”

Setup this inside your child widget

Then you make this inside the widget thats going to have the button

This allows you to store the buttons to an array, call simulate click, etc…

Use public variables and edit it like (Inside the child widget blueprint) this if you want text on the button etc other important options, and add public variables to what you want to edit on the child button, once added to the parent widget!
