How to add children to a widget from another widget

[blAddddDe]

Good afternoon!
I have a problem: there is a base widget.

I need to add the child widgets to the RadialCanvas somehow from other widget.

Do you have any ideas?
Thx.

You will need to either spawn the widgets dynamically. Or, add a Named Slot to the WB_RadialBase, you will see it here. Named Slot acts a bit like a placeholder.

Yes, but im need more than one child

Add them directly inside the WB_RadialBase? UMG does not expose containers this way.

What I need to do is

but in a different widget, so add the children to the canvas in a different widget.

If you must do it from another widget, this can only done dynamically: run a loop → Create Widget → getCanvas from WB_RadialBase → Add Child To Canvas → Set Size / Position in Canvas

I came up with a kind of a ‘crutch’.

Made my own canvas.

Either this or expose multiple Named Slots. I would do it dynamically inside the WB_RadialBase. Tell Init how many widgets to spawn and have it run on Pre Construct. Something along the lines of:

unable to remove widget from parent .. Sometimes/Bug?

Not only would it work well together but it would also allow for more control and flexibility, and one can preview it all in real time, without launching the game. This is very quick & fairly dirty: [image] Do note that this is a single widget, you can have many of them (maybe irrelevant in your case since you may only need 1 ever) but you can manipulate it at a whim. Let’s say I want to hide it → I hide just this one widget. If I wanted to display it over or under another widget, I need t…

Thank you very much for the advice

Your question is a bit confusing.

In the example you showed name “What I need to do is” you show a Canvas, which can hold as many as Widgets as you want.

However in your initial question you are asking to have the widget as a child of another widget. Which is a different story.

So if you want to replicate what’s on your “What I need to do is” screenshot simply drag the widgets you want on the Canvas Panel instead of on the Widget RadialBase.
