How do i override this function?
it seems so simple in blueprints.
What ive tried-
void OnPaint(UPARAM(ref) FPaintContext& Context) override;
void OnPaint(FPaintContext& Context) override;
You don’t override OnPaint, you override NativePaint. See the UPROPERTY specifier called BlueprintImplementableEvent? That means this is a Blueprint-only function that cannot be implemented in C++. NativePaint is the C++ equivalent.
In general with UE source code, when you see a function DoStuff that’s a BlueprintImplementableEvent, you’ll likely find another function called NativeDoStuff which is the C++ equivalent. If DoStuff is a BlueprintNativeEvent, the C++ equivalent is called DoStuff_Implementation.

Only just seen this now, figured this out eventually, Thanks! hopefully will help someone else.
Could you show what worked for you with nativepaint(). I’m having difficulty overriding it
[1/2] Compile CRHFMS.cpp

[2/2] Compile CRHFMS.gen.cpp

What does the class using it inherit from? double check the parent has nativepaint.
Your errors come from ‘UCRHFMS::OnPaint’, not from the NativePaint override.
I found my mistake: I just had the declaration in the header and no corresponding definition in the cpp. Silly me. Thank you!
