I want to get UI elements like a file menu, Side panels and other elements with the game window embedded like how the editor is designed. Before today I didn’t know about Slate, Would this be the way to go and could this do what I need? I know it can be used to draw UMG widgets in the game window but I need to create elements outside the window. Making a mini-editor is the best way I can describe what I want to do. My first thought was to use a different window manager and try to embed the game using HWND but I have not seen anyone actually do that successfully and I heard that will lead to issues with mouse detection in the game window.
Is Slate capable of doing what I need to do out of the box, Or would I need to go under the hood of the game engine in order to accomplish something like this.
